About this property

Wildwood Cottage, Duluth, private wooded retreat on the North Shore

Wildwood Cottage is a newly built, Scandinavian Modern designed, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat, nestled into the woods. There are 80-plus acres of forested state land to the south of the property with a walking trail from the cottage to the Sucker River.

Located 20 minutes from Canal Park and Downtown Duluth, 5 minutes to Stoney Point and Knife River Marina Beach, and 10 minutes to Brighton Beach makes this a fabulous location one mile north of Lake Superior and the North Shore Scenic Drive (Grandma's Marathon route).

The home is all on one level, with easy access on grade, plus all doors are 3 feet wide. The floors are all hand-stenciled, and original artwork by area artists fill the cottage.

One bathroom has a tub/shower combination unit, the second bathroom a good sized shower.

Outdoors has plenty of area for lawn games, plus a fire pit and chairs out front. All firewood and gas grill provided.

The x-long twin beds are very comfy for adults, as well as for children. Board games, blue-ray DVD player and Smart TV with lots of movies, will easily help when you just want to chill out.

The kitchen is fully outfitted with almost anything you would need and your hosts live just 1100 feet away and will easily accommodate anything that you may need.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Nakamura

Host profile image
In 2012, Rita and Amy designed and built their own home, next door to the cottage, and in 2017, on the adjacent 10 acre parcel, cleared land, designed and built this cottage as our guest house. We are excited about being hosts to people from all over the world.

We love to garden and have a large vegetable garden at our home, and are passionate about cooking and baking. Rita is formerly co-owner and co-founder of the New Scenic Cafe which is only a few miles from the cottage and still the best restaurant in the region. Amy is a retired contractor and looks forward to turning her talents toward smaller projects, meeting and greeting guests, gardening, building a little jewel of a sauna, ... and the list goes on!

Why they chose this property

This land, purchased in 1993, was a 40 acre parcel totally landlocked, with no access to the potential building site(s). Rita built a half mile long road into the property and built her first home which she later sold in 2012 after subdividing so she and Amy could build their new home. Finding property on the great Sucker River was a goal and obsession for Rita as her grandma had a small log cabin upriver where Rita spent much time as a child. Later, her brother then created a cabin on the Sucker River where she spent time retreating from a busy life in the Twin Cities. Finding this glorious property on the Sucker River was serendipitous. (I'll tell you the story if you ask how I bought it sight unseen). It hosts the biggest waterfalls on the entire length of the river and hiking the woods along the River's Edge in the State Land south of the property is truly magnificent.

What makes this property unique

This land is situated not only with the Sucker River on it, but it is set back from the County Road over 1300 feet offering seclusion and wooded beauty. The location just 20 minutes from Downtown Duluth and Canal Park, makes it the best of both worlds, private retreat and easy access. The location is 1 mile north of the Hwy 61 Expressway and the North Shore Scenic Drive (Grandma's Marathon Route). We are halfway between Duluth and Two Harbors, and a relatively short drive to many of the scenic rivers that flow into Lake Superior.
