Perfect for pur Thanksgiving gathering consisting of 7 children and 13 adults! It was a cold stay, took an entire day for the house to warm up and those of us sleeping in the basement were freezing the first night (had 5 blankets on the bed) but the high while we stayed was only between 25 and 35. Plenty to do! Our kids are between 4 and 13 and had plenty to keep them entertained! Ping pong, pool, skee ball, board games!!! Awesome stay and can't wait to book again for our family!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Finally we found a rental home that provided ample room for gathering, quiet time and enough beds— no need for making up the couch, but it would have been a comfortable option if needed. The kitchen was well equipped, and everyone could be accommodated for seating during family meals. The game room, and outdoor games and fire pit provided fun for all ages. The home is beautiful, and the setting serene. Certain courageous family members took morning dips in the lake and followed up with a sauna. We all took walks on the beach and to the mouth of the Amnicon River.Noise does carry throughout the main house. Light sleepers may want to bring along ear plugs/noise cancellation gear. Also, be aware that the final 3.5 miles of the road is gravel.

This was a gorgeous, spacious home for our group of 17. Check-in was a breeze and our extended family had an awesome get-together. We appreciated the different common spaces both inside and outside. The lake access was great (though the last bit of the path was a little too steep for some our oldest). The nearby Amnicon Falls State Park was beautiful and very accessible.Kitchen-wise: Two coffee pots and the extra frig/ freezer in the guest house came in handy. The grill was a little tricky to operate (pellet rather than more familiar gas) but especially good for low & slow grilling. There were plenty of bathrooms but it would be great if two more of the bathrooms were adapted with handheld shower nozzles in the tubs.

Great house for 4 generations

The house is as pictured. We loved the two big tables to all eat together. If you have tweens or teenagers they will love the basement with all of the activities. The beach was nice. Very quiet and saw lots of deer up close. I love that they recycle. The owner was very responsive. Everything was great.

It was a great place for our families to be together. The grandkids loved walking down to Lake Superior and walking in the water and gathering rocks. They also loved the lower level with pool table and all the things to play with. It would have been nice if there had been one more shower but we worked it out. Thank you for renting it to us.

Family Vacation

We had our children and their families for Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of room for all of us and the separated houses was nice. The kids LOVED the beach. Too cold to swim but they loved the sand and driftwood. We definitely enjoyed the beautiful view! Kids had plenty to keep themselves busy.

Lots of room. Easily hang out together or head somewhere for some space.Beds and bathrooms very clean. Basement had some small items left on the floor from previous guests (beer bottle tops, unsmoked cigarette). Some of the furniture showing wear and tear. Games available but many pieces missing so can't play several of them. Baby gate was missing a bottom part to secure it so that was a bit stressful with a little one running around.Drive into Duluth is reasonable with lots to do there.missing misding so can't play them.

Fun Large Family Stay

This house is great for a large group. It has a nice sized kitchen (which includes many kitchen appliances including a waffle iron, panini maker, hand mixer, etc.) and two big tables for eating. A great room that can fit many people and a downstairs area with a pool table, ping pong table, and an assortment of board games. There is a beautiful view of Lake Superior (at least in the winter with no leaves on the trees) and it is just a short walk through the woods to the lake. Overall a great stay. The only thing of note is that even though the house accommodates many people there are only 3 showers and one of those showers is accessed through the master bedroom. Two of the other bathrooms just had bathtubs. But, if you don't have a lot of people who need to get through the shower all at once, you should be good.

Spacious, comfortable, entertaining -- all around excellent

As each family arrived, they commented some variation on 'wow, this is nicer than the photos!'We visited for a long weekend with four families (8 adults, 13 children) to ski nearby. There was plenty of space to spread out and lots of room for the children to play - ping pong, darts, board games, snow fort building etc. The sauna was lovely and could fit almost all the adults. Plenty of seating, plenty of blankets and pillows, plenty of beds. Kris was very responsive and helpful. It snowed while we were there, but we were able to make it out of the driveway and gravel road. Overall a top-notch place to stay with a crowd.

New Year's on Superior

This was the perfect location for a large group to relax and welcome in 2025. We enjoyed hiking to the shore, games, and enough space for all of us to gather around the fire. The kitchen was adequate to feed everyone and there were seats enough for all to enjoy meals together. The large TV downstairs was great for a few wanting to watch a football game.
