Vacation rentals with lake access in Douglas County

The entire stay was peaceful and relaxing. The description of the place was spot on. This was our first experience and we loved every bit of it. Will definitely book again. Would highly recommend the stay!

Incredible place, nicer than pictures. Lots of nice extras.

Beautiful place - the pictures doesnt do it justice! Convenient to so much - skiing and downtown! We will definitely stay here again!

This himewas beautiful, comfortable and peaceful. A bustling city just a few minutes away with great restaurants and shops. We loved our stay. Nancy was very friendly and responsive. We look forward to visiting again!

We had a wonderful stay! David was a great host. We had our dogs Cal and Mable along for the trip. Cal and Mable made a new friend Davids dog Jack. Jack was such a sweetheart. Good times were made playing in the lake and sitting around the campfire. I highly recommend.

Al’s place was very clean and a great place for our family to get together. Beds were very comfortable! Kitchen was well stocked which was helpful when we made our own meals. We would stay here again if in the area.

This could have been a complete disaster of a stay but it wasn’t. First, let me start by saying the house was spotless. Beautiful and clean and no smells to cover up with more smells. Just clean and pristine. Right on the lake, with views for days. On our first night the water heater broke and we had to contact the host and it could have been awful but it wasn’t. We just made it work and they were so helpful, easy to reach, responsive and kind. Our stay was refunded, but they let us use the house anyway, which ended up being such a gift! Meredith was great from beginning to end. Despite all of that - I’m totally coming back! I wrote 10,000 words while I was here in that perfection of a back porch! The only downside, if there is one, is the traffic on 61, which honestly wasn’t bad but it is loud on occasion. We know the area so we knew what we were getting but someone not from here should know it’s a busy road. In my opinion it’s worth it for the location.

This is our second time staying at Williams home in Duluth. It is spacious, clean and well equipped with everything we need for a week of relaxation. The home is furnished with items to start the week without having to run to the store. The beach is close and quiet. Would definitely recommend.

This is a beautiful apartment with an incredible location. The bedroom setup was great for our family as well. Kevin was super responsive and a great host. Would definitely stay here again!

A very needed respite in a lovely home. The view of the lake was breathtaking! So clean and warm and inviting in below zero temps!

Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful view with nice amenities. Everything was well cared for and clean. We would consider staying again.

I had just the BEST stay. Beautifully appointed, incredibly clean and well-maintained and absolutely perfect surroundings! I loved being so close to the beach, too. I especially appreciated how quick and responsive the host was and how willing they were to accommodate requests. They also put together a very thoughtful/helpful welcome binder with everything you’d need to know and great local recommendations. I can’t say enough good things about my stay here and look forward to coming back!

Andrew and Shelby were very quick to respond when I had any questions. Don't miss walking over to the beach, no matter what the weather may be: it's not to be missed!

This rental has it all for any couple who wants to experience the beauty of Lake Superior and be able to walk to just about everything in Duluth. We explored the North Shore by car during the day and the city by foot in the evening. The view is so mesmerizing it's hard to close the curtains at night and miss the early sunrise, if you're lucky you can watch a ship passing through the famous lift bridge too.

I’ve been traveling to the shore of Lake Superior for 20 years. I have stayed in many different locations, this was probably the best. Absolutely peaceful and cozy, yet modern and elegant. It was also very unique.

Staying at Carl's place was exactly what we expected. Beach access and a nice quiet space to rest and relax. If you love Duluth this is a great place to call home during your stay. Carl was proactive and sent me inductions for accessing the apartment, it was exactly as advertised; very clean with all the amenities we needed. On our trip through Duluth we got into an accident and Carl was very understanding and allowed us a late checkout to rest up after a long night. We will definitely be returning to Duluth and look forward to staying with Carl again.

Beautiful stay! We came up in the middle of a cold snap and found out the pipes froze. Emily and Austin were amazing about responding right away on a Friday night and came to address it through snowy conditions. They ended up moving us to another cabin so we could be comfortable while they fixed the pipes. Frozen pipes happen in Minnesota, so no big deal. I felt very pleased and considered with how they handled the situation. Thank you!!

We had such a wonderful stay over Christmas while visitng family. It was short notice, and Ed was kind to accommodate quickly and it was so appreciated. The cabin is very much as described, a nice balance of beautiful, rustic original feels of days gone by with the wood burning stone fireplace, and the quaint kitchen. It's clear there have been many upgrades as well, and all that aside, the gorgeous wall of windows over looking the lake, the yard space for our pups, will make us return guests if we are able. Such a wonderful place! Highly recommend!

The cabin was comfortable and we loved the location. Its right off of a quiet beach and walking distance from the pier; it really is the best of both worlds! We highly recommend staying here. Kathy was great to work with.

If you’re looking for a rustic experience, close to the big lake to share with your loved ones, both human and canine, this is the place for you! Clean, well organized, every thing you need to cook your favorite meals and a comfy bed for a great night sleep. My wife and I and our pooch had a great North Shore vacation here!

The cottage was clean, quiet and the perfect get-away. The view of the lake was spectacular and it is a 5 min drive to downtown Duluth. We will definitely be back!

We stayed Brian’s Dowling Lakefront Lodge with my husband’s family to celebrate Christmas! We had a wonderful stay, the cottage had everything we needed and more for our stay. The game room was a big hit and the younger kiddos even enjoyed sledding on the lake. The listing is as shown - the house has so much character and the bedrooms all have different sleeping arrangements which worked great for our group. There are 2.5 bathrooms but only 1 shower but that was not an issue for our group. The game table in the family room provided an extra spot for multiple game options. The property was easy to find thanks to the clear instructions/directions Brian provided. He was a very responsive host and easy to work with! We went to Bentleyville and we also went to Manitou Falls. Fantastic stay, we will be back! Thank you!

I had a great state and stay there again in the future, as it was perfectly described and was perfect for me and my situation that weekend. It was also pretty amazing to be that close to Lake superior on possibly the coldest couple days or nights of the year from what I’m understanding! But despite freezing temps outside the cottage was on point in that it was affordable beautifully, located outside of all the hustle and bustle of a city as big and small as Duluth and the way, it could’ve been better was if I could’ve laid on the couch all weekend as opposed to working for most of it! I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out which one was mine in the dark, and I feel like the wording used to provide guidance in locating that specific cottage might have been a bit confusing or it also could have just been me. All things considered, those 2 minutes I was uncertain resulted in a complete non-issue and the cottage, its location and the people associated with it were top notch!

Great place to stay. Small but had what I needed except wifi. It is a duplex which I didn't realize so it was a smaller area than I expected but nice.
