About this property
Come relax in a Tranquil Cottage on Island Lake!
Charming LAKEFRONT home, right on the shore of Island Lake Kubash Bay, straight north of Duluth (25/30 min drive from Downtown/Canal Park). Living room w/ gas fireplace & large window to beautiful sunset views, and water’s edge deck! Redecorated in 2022! HOSTS STAY in the LOWER LEVEL apt of the house, to give guests the top 2 floors to themselves (w/ their own private entrance). 20-25 min to Canal Park/downtown/mall area, 17 min from the mall, in a setting that is the best of both worlds: “Northwoods” peace & nature, w/ amenities & nearby conveniences of a rural city area!
*** DOCK IS REMOVED from the lake approximately Oct 15th. BACK IN the lake approx. May 10th. (Likely paddleboat & inflatable SUP also, but this is more weather-dependent)
* Many STAIRS from street level down to the house & lake (see pics).
[Gnesen Township Permit STR #23-04]. **PLEASE review the HOUSE MANUAL on site (in binder by the entry door).

Taking out the trash & recycling is not expected, but if you would like to do so, 2 bins (blue top is mixed recycling, grey top is garbage) are up by the garage, and it is much appreciated 🙂
IF the dishwasher is FULL, and you want to run it, pods are under the sink, but also not required.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

About the host
Hosted by Ange and Erich
We are quiet people, but love hosting nonetheless! We both work full time, and love life on the lake, gardening, and long walks. We do our best to live an eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyle too!
We let our guests be, to enjoy their stay, but are happy to say hello to anyone who’d like to. We don’t have a lot of free time to enjoy our beautiful lake property, so it makes us very happy to be able to have others enjoy it! All are welcome!
