Come relax in a Tranquil Cottage on Island Lake!

Charming LAKEFRONT home, right on the shore of Island Lake Kubash Bay, straight north of Duluth (25/30 min drive from Downtown/Canal Park). Living room w/ gas fireplace & large window to beautiful sunset views, and water’s edge deck! Redecorated in 2022! HOSTS STAY in the LOWER LEVEL apt of the house, to give guests the top 2 floors to themselves (w/ their own private entrance). 20-25 min to Canal Park/downtown/mall area, 17 min from the mall, in a setting that is the best of both worlds: “Northwoods” peace & nature, w/ amenities & nearby conveniences of a rural city area!

*** DOCK IS REMOVED from the lake approximately Oct 15th. BACK IN the lake approx. May 10th. (Likely paddleboat & inflatable SUP also, but this is more weather-dependent)

* Many STAIRS from street level down to the house & lake (see pics).

[Gnesen Township Permit STR #23-04]. **PLEASE review the HOUSE MANUAL on site (in binder by the entry door).

Visit to the North Woods
Our Island Lake stay was just wonderful. The property was very comfortable and well appointed. The location gave us instant access to lakes and woods as well a couple of nice local restaurants. We have already booked a return trip.

Great space for a couple of days
Everything was as expected, the space was big and bright -- even though it was a little overcast the days we were there. Would recommend for anyone looking for a place to anchor while visiting Duluth that also feels a little more away from things.

Wonderful Stay
We can't say enough about the place or the hosts. The place was very clean and comfortable. There are many nice features about the place; modern kitchen, zoned air conditioning, wifi and electronics. We brought a boat and could dock it in a safe and protected cove, away from the winds and waves of the main lake. The hosts were very helpful and kind. They were easy to contact to ask questions, yet were very respectful of our privacy. We will definitely be going back for another stay.

Great stay on Island Lake. I highly recommend this property… The owners were great to communicate with and had a nice ice cream treat upon our arrival. The cottage was clean, very well stocked, and the view of the bay was fantastic. We would stay again!!!
