Great Up North Getaway
We had a lovely stay at Caribou Cove! Enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks, fire pit, and game selection. It was perfect for our family gathering. The kitchen was well-equipped with what we needed to make some simple dinners together. It was super convenient to take a day trip up the shore and over to Duluth as well.

Great northern getaway
We stayed with our two boys, their grandma, my sister, and her two kids. They loved the huge yard to play all week long, fire pit with plenty of wood, and the hot tub. Close to Duluth to visit canal park and not too long up drive up the north shore. The host is fantastic and very responsive if there are any issues. We will be back again.

Great way to celebrate 70!
We stayed at Caribou Cove to celebrate our mom’s 70th bday. It was perfect! We have rented several cabins/homes for our group over the years. This by far had the best yard and water access! There were SO many thoughtful details included by the host both inside and outside the house. Thank you for a memorable time!!

Great stay near Duluth!
Nine of us stayed at Caribou Cove in June. I thought this place was a great value! The lake is calm and quiet during the week. We loved the fire pit, patio, decks. The place is well considered, with many hang out spots. The host was very responsive and helpful. Our whole family could gather on the patio or to watch a movie. We loved having more than 1 TV for sports fans in the basement. The place is in great shape, fresh, bright. The hosts left us snacks and a cute souvenir bag. The location was very convenient to visit the sites in Duluth. I would say this place was pretty perfect, but 2 things worth mentioning. We were hoping to rent a pontoon from an off site rental place, but the dock is pretty small and the hosts had their pontoon parked there. The host did offer that we could park on the other side of the dock, but there was a pipe sticking out awkwardly and we felt uncomfortable grounding it on the beach. The other thing to mention is that we were counting on the pull out couch in the basement for our 9th family member. The couch and pull out were quite uncomfortable, so this person ended up sleeping on the floor instead. Worked out fine for us, but not great for a light sleeper. As i said, these are small points, and we would definitely come back again.

Perfect long weekend getaway
Great place to stay. It has everything! Even though it was late October and we couldn’t enjoy the lake, it was still awesome. Our extended family has been coming to Duluth for 20+ years for MEA. We always stayed in Canal Park, but now that the kids are out of school, we thought it was time to switch it up. Went a different weekend, and stayed away from the crowds. We made the perfect choice with this place. Coming back after a long day of sightseeing and shopping with a hot tub waiting for us was the best! I would highly recommend this place for a family looking to get away. Looking forward to coming back in the summer months.

This was our second time here, first time in the summer and we absolutely love this place. I originally picked this location because it would be convenient for exploring Duluth, but we never make it to Duluth because there are so many fun things to do here. My kids fished off the dock and caught about 6 fish in 20 minutes. We kayaked, swam in the cold lake and then warmed up in the hot tub. The new deck and outdoor areas are all awesome!
