About this property
Completely remodeled 4bd/2ba Lake Home, Near Snowmobile Trails and a Gas Station
Beautiful, completely updated 4 bed, 2 bath lake home on desirable Island Lake. Located only 20 minutes north of Duluth, this 10,800 acre lake is well known for great fishing, swimming, and boating in the summer and snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ice fishing in the winter.
Nearly every inch of the house has been updated, both exterior and interior. Each room in the home offers an amazing view of the lake. It features 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, along with a smaller bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The living room is expansive, complete with a large sectional couch and gas fireplace finished with field stone (not functional), along with a large LCD TV for those rainy days. Note that local television is likely not available as reception tends to be poor.
Air conditioning has been recently installed for those hot summer nights. Wi-Fi is also available.
The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, two sinks, professional 6 burner gas cook top, dishwasher, double ovens, and beautiful solid cherry cabinets. Best of all, the kitchen overlooks the gently sloped lawn with a perfect view of the water. The bedroom downstairs, off the kitchen, features a twin-size bunk bed with a pocket door. The bathroom downstairs provides a large linen closet, stand up shower, toilet, and large vanity. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a gorgeous view of the yard and beach area. It comes equipped with a queen bed, two nightstands, LCD TV, a dresser, and closet. The second bedroom also has a beautiful view of the lake along with a queen bed, dresser, and closet. The third bedroom is complete with an expansive lake view, full-size bunk bed, dresser, and closet. The upstairs bathroom includes a full bathtub w/ shower, vanity, and toilet. Outside, the wraparound deck provides lots of space to get some sun, along with a large firepit for s'mores at night. A 4 burner propane grill is available for bbq'ing. The large yard, perfect for lawn games, has a gentle slope down to the private beach area. Protected inside a private cove, without any neighbors, the sandy beach makes this location the perfect swimming hole for little ones or adults. You will enjoy all the comforts of home at this stunning lake home on Island Lake. Please note that lifejackets and beach towels are not provided.

About the host
Hosted by Chad
My wife and I grew up in the Duluth area; in fact, she grew up with a cabin on Island Lake! We have a two year old daughter who loves the water, so when we found this place, we jumped on the opportunity to own something on a lake. We are new to VRBO but we are committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this house at auction in 2016 and it needed a lot of love. We gutted most of the house down to studs and refactored the layout quite extensively. For example, the master bedroom used to be where the kitchen is and the kitchen used to be where the front entry is! Additionally, the roof was in poor shape, the siding was black from years of neglect, and the well was not functional. We put a significant amount of energy and time to bring this place back to life.
What makes this property unique
My wife completely fell in love with the yard and the beach when we first walked the property. The gentle slope down to a private, sandy beach really set this property apart and made it ideal for families. While the house itself was in poor shape, we could see the potential and decided to take on the challenge.
