You will love being surrounded by beautiful trees on your scenic drive up the 1/2 mile driveway. When you reach the end of the road, you have arrived. The property is on a small private lake where you can enjoy fishing off the dock, lounging in the hammocks or boathouse, paddling around the island on a paddle board, kayak, canoe or enjoy a bonfire in one of many fire pits any time of the day. Pontoon is available for rent if you choose to fish or get off land for a while. There are many 4-wheeler and snowmobile trails nearby if you choose to bring them along.
The winter months are great for ice fishing (bass and Northern Pike), snowmobiling, X-C Skiing, snowshoeing or biking on your Fat Bike. Groomed X-C ski trails near the loft are 10 minutes away. Spirit Mountain is a 30 minute drive for winter skiing, snowboarding and biking trails. Duluth has many beautiful mountain bike trails for all levels and have gorgeous scenery year round.
You will most certainly see loons, geese, deer, beavers, wild turkeys, sandhill cranes, Trumpeter Swans and eagles that surround the property. The loft above the garage is an inviting private Nordic hideaway with a cozy canopy bed, French press with local coffee and the lake, sauna and boathouse are just a minutes walk. There are three areas on the property for a bonfires.
The owners live on the property and may or may not be present during your stay, but will always respect your space.
The historic boathouse is a common space for guests to enjoy. Perfect for reading, getting out of the sun, having coffee, drinks or dining. It is not exclusive to the rental of the loft as the owners of the property may also be present. The boathouse is open from May - October (although this depends on the weather). There is absolutely no overnight sleeping in the boathouse.
The property is 23 miles from Canal Park in Duluth, just under 30 minutes
