We had a wonderful stay. The home has everything you need. The beds are comfortable. It was a joy watching the hummingbirds. It was so peaceful sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. Our only problem was the dock breaking as a guest got out of the paddleboat. I would like to stay here again once the dock is repaired.

The property was exactly as described. All our boys wanted to do was catch fish and they were able to do this right off the dock. Everything you could need in the kitchen was provided along with a packed spice cupboard. There was plenty of room in the driveway to park our two trucks and pontoon. We had a good time and made some great memories during our stay!

Amazing 4 nights on Pike Lake! Whether fishing, kayaking, or pedaling the paddle boat the 5 adults and 2 teenagers enjoyed our time outdoors. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds on the feeders as well as the bird activity on the lake. We appreciated Lori and Scott meeting us upon arrival to give a tour of their beautiful home! It provided us with everything we needed to celebrate family birthdays in style. Definitely would stay here again our next trip to Duluth.
