North Shore Timber Home ~ Minutes To Town ~ Many 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 & children enjoy sledding in the winter. 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.

Holiday Weekend Retreat

We truly enjoyed our stay at the North Shore Timber Lodge. Our only regret is that it wasn't longer! There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone, and we were able to cook a delicious Christmas dinner. We would love to come back and take advantage of the beautiful porch, which feels like an additional living area. We liked that we weren't in the middle of Duluth but could reach downtown in just 10 minutes. If you are looking for a unique property, this one will be sure to wow you!

Cozy haven in the woods

The entire stay was a dream and the cabin was so amazing and more beautiful than we expected. The cleanliness was top notch and we appreciated all of the extra linens available. When we arrived all the lights were turned on making it feel like we were arriving at home. The host was really communicative and made extra sure everything was perfect.

Fantastic home and stellar host!

This is such a beautiful property! The log home is so pretty and cozy. Very well appointed kitchen, and this is from cooks/foodies. We brought a lot of our own cookware/implements, but wouldn't have needed them at all! Impressive. The bathrooms where very nice (do you love deep clawfoot tubs?) this is the place for you! The outdoor space was amazing with tons of seating space and very nice griddle top grill. We stayed right before Xmas and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor porch! Definitely would stay again. Highly recommend! Oh, and the host went out of his way to mail us something we left behind which was extremely appreciated!

Perfect group housing

We had an amazing stay at Timber Home! The photos don't do the place justice -- it was very clean and fit all of our group (10 people) perfectly. We had dinners on the porch and really appreciated the various supplies (baking dishes/cooking utensils) that ensured we had everything we needed for cooking/baking. The yard was a great spot for a picnic and we saw the northern lights our first night. Additionally, the location was perfect for accessing Duluth but allowing us some privacy. Would stay here again!

Fall Getaway

Had a fantastic weekend at Timber Home! It easily fit our group of 11 with extra room. Plenty of bed space and seats at the tables. The place was cozy but never felt cramped. So helpful to have a bathroom on all floors. We didn't end up using the firepit--but greatly appreciated the wood left behind for us to use! The property was beautiful and breathtaking as you pull up . The wagon was so helpful to transport supplies from parking area to the house. Initially we were a little worried about this process, but it is really not a long distance we barely noticed! Loren was very responsive and made check in and check out simple. Would highly recommend!

Perfect north shore feel! Nice space to visit...amazing deck! Was very well stocked for anything we could need and more. Beds were so comfortable. The motion lights on the stable concrete walk/steps to the house were very nice. That walk gave the place an even more secluded private feel.

In the middle of Nature

A wonderful time was had by our extended family of 12. The kitchen was awesome for our collection of chefs. Everything you could think of was there, including an amazing coffee bar. Our favorite place to dine was at the long tables on the huge porch with a Blackstone grill at the ready! The house is convenient to activites in Duluth as well as up the North Shore. Our favorite lake was Island lake. A mere 20 minutes inland. Thank you!!!
