North Shore Timber Home! Minutes To Town! Acres of Privacy!

Just 3 miles from City of Duluth, 3/4 mile from Lake Superior, near many rivers, & sight seeing areas along the North Shore. Perfect for your family get togethers. Very family friendly! Over the river and through the woods...

Appreciate all the comfortable features and relax and enjoy close proximity to the North Shore & its sightseeing and yet only a few minutes from the City of Duluth! You will appreciate the rustic natural wood timbers, stone/tile & the heart of an authentic log cabin. The living room has a Danish wood burning soapstone fireplace. The formal dining room has 2 tables that will seat up to 12 people with the option of heated tiled floor. The main floor also has a bedroom and hand crafted stone tiled bathroom.

All 3 levels each have a bath & bedroom(s). Master bedroom offers a queen bed and a guest bedroom suite which also has a queen size bed (accessed w/french doors from master bedroom). The lower level walkout has 3 bedrooms (2 queens & a king). The exterior features a large covered deck with grill and tables for dining and looks out onto the private property surrounded by trees.

The property has a gentle slope. You may see deer on the property or evidence of them frolicking in the yard while you were out skiing or sightseeing.

The property is not located on Lake Superior, but is less than a mile from the McQuade Safe Harbor/Boat launch on Lake Superior.

High speed internet!

**This property is not handicapped accessible. And there are many steps that lead up to the house from the parking area.

Incredible house with incredible amenities. Plenty of rooms to accommodate everyone on our trip. Weather was great so we could have our meals out on the deck. There was also plenty of plates and silverware for our meals. We will definitely keep this house in mind for another stay along the north shore.
