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. 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 entrance). 20-25 min to Canal Park/downtown, 17 min from the mall area, 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 15th. (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).
