We built our custom North Woods Retreat near Duluth in 40 acres of tranquil woods with private trails. We rent out the lower level unit that has its own private keyless (keypad) entrance, two bedroom areas, one bath, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, and living room.

The large living room features large windows with great natural lighting and a door up to the shared upper deck with BBQ grill and picnic table. The second bedroom space is part of an open living room floor plan that includes a bunk bed with a twin over a full sized bed. There is also a sleeper sofa and two bonus twin mattresses for the floor. Couches in the living room, an electric fireplace unit, smart TV, and high top dining table create a comfortable space to rest, eat, play. WIFI is available as well as a laptop-friendly workspace.

The eat-in kitchen is stocked with dishes, silverware, cookware, coffee maker, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, stove/range, and table and chairs. Panty stock items include oil, salt, and pepper. The full-sized bathroom has a tub/shower, hair dryer, soap, shampoo, and towels. Venture out into the backyard patio with chairs and shared firepit. Beyond are trail to a pond and berry picking adventures in the summer. Note that all cell phones appear to work on our grounds, but you may need to stand by an outer wall or window for best reception to make phone calls. You must be able to climb stairs and we request that you do not wear shoes once inside.

Sleeping Arrangements: Bedroom 1 - queen bed; Bedroom 2 (living room area) - double/twin bunk bed; sleeper sofa, 2 mattresses.

Reviews

The apartment is nestled in the woods with plenty of area for hiking around in the snow or looking/listening for wildlife. It was the perfect place for us to relax while we were in a nearby hockey tournament. Thanks for the hospitality Tracy! - Pam
