About this property

Sauna, Massage Chair, Firepit, Woods, Pet Friendly

Love Duluth but want to be able to escape the hustle? Come unwind in our pet-friendly, cozy log cabin nestled on two acres at the end of a quiet neighborhood road. Walk in the woods, rejuvenate in the sauna then let the massage chair work your aches and worries away! With quick access to the Wood City Riders snowmobile trail system, 9 miles from Jay Cooke State Park and 22 miles from Duluth, we offer the perfect blend of seclusion, convenience, natural and modern comforts all year round.

This home offers two bedrooms downstairs—one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds—and a loft with a queen bed and space for additional sleeping arrangements if needed. In the loft, revel in the open layout overlooking the main floor, and take advantage of the massage chair for ultimate relaxation. Please note that there are no window treatments in the loft, but eye masks are provided for those sensitive to light.

The main floor bath has a jetted tub while downstairs, unwind in the sauna located in the lower-level bathroom, which comfortably accommodates two people. Enhance your sauna experience with a selection of essential oils available for use. Welcome to your serene escape!

A few things to be aware of:
• This property is not accessible. There is a flight of stairs to reach the front door, and the bedrooms are on different levels from the great room.
• Although we have regular pest control services, the property is near the woods and though we try to keep the creepy crawlies at bay, there are some that succeed in breaking the rules. If you see one or two, you can escort them back outside or take care of them as you wish. If you see several, please do let me know as soon as possible so I can take care of it.
• This is a 30-year-old log home with a boiler system. There are creaks in the floors in spots and sometimes the pipes make noise ("clink") for a few minutes.
• We have motion sensing cameras covering the front door/driveway as well as the back door for security reasons. These are not to be covered, disconnected or altered in any way. There is a motion sensing light on the garage that follows motion to light your way up the stairs to the front door. This is NOT a camera.
• We do require a signed rental agreement and it is required that the person who signs the agreement is present for the entire stay. Third-party bookings are not allowed and will result in immediate cancellation.
• Many things can happen that cause someone's travel plans to change. It is highly advisable to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase travel insurance so if you must cancel outside of our allowable cancellation policy you can still be reimbursed.

Whether you're looking for a family-friendly home away from home, a cozy cabin for a memorable friend's weekend, a romantic getaway or a place where working online all day can still feel like a vacation...the Cloquet Pines Retreat is the place for you! If you have any special requests, please do let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.

Family Four Wheeling Vaca
6 adults, an infant, and 3 dogs! We were a full house but it was cozy and secluded while still close to amenities. We loved all the space of the property for the dogs. The wrap around porch was quite the treat to enjoy the early fall weather. The home was also well stocked with all supplies. Only “bummer” was not having 6 kitchen table chairs. Loved the beds- super comfy!

A Perfect Family Retreat
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cozy and beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The house itself is charming and well-maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was the perfect retreat for our family. Our hostess Lisa was truly amazing—so accommodating and attentive to our needs. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, offering fantastic recommendations for local activities and dining that were perfect for our family. Thanks to her suggestions, we were able to make the most of our time and create lasting memories. We can’t recommend this home enough! If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable place to stay with a host who genuinely cares about your experience, this is it. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Extended weekend stay
My family had a wonderful experience at Cloquet Pines Retreat. The home accommodations were perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of room for our family to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenic nature view on the wrap around deck. We will definitely be staying at Cloquet Pines Retreat again!

Perfect Stay for Grandma's Marathon!
This cabin was everything friends and I needed during our weekend stay for Grandma's Marathon in Duluth. It was only a 25-minute drive from downtown Duluth, which was very reasonable. Cloquet is a nice little town too, with local bars, several grocery stores, etc. From the outside, the cabin has a rustic aesthetic, complete with a fire pit and wrap-around deck. But the rustic exterior is perfectly balanced with the modern amenities inside, which turn a seemingly barebones cabin into a luxurious glamping vibe. The kitchen had modern appliances, well-stocked with cookware and accessories we needed to cook a big meal after the half marathon. All four beds were comfy and left us feeling refreshed. I really liked the loft above the living room, which we described as the ideal place to take a nap, especially during a rainstorm with the skylights. The massage chair was a nice touch. There was even an electric sauna, which was greatly appreciated by my Finnish friend, who felt right at home. The hosts were incredibly responsive, answering questions over text, and even offered special accommodations upon request. The booking process was straightforward, two installment payments, plus a reasonable security deposit. My friends all thanked me for booking a great weekend getaway (we are all lawyers who needed to escape the stress of Minneapolis). If you book this cabin, I'm sure your friends will thank you too!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Karan

Host profile image
I (Lisa) bought this home with my husband Jeff in 2023. I love all the outdoor activities the Duluth area has to offer, all the hiking trails and waterfalls within a short drive. I mainly love just being in nature which is why I was thrilled to find this home and now that I'm not living in it full-time, I want to share it with others. Together we have 4 adult daughters and an adult son. We also have a house full of pets...currently two dogs, two cats and an African Grey Parrot whose main hobby is yelling at the dogs!

Co-Host Melisa lives in Cloquet with her husband and their dog, Rusty. They enjoy the outdoors, from camping and kayaking to hiking and golfing. They're also passionate about traveling, cooking, trying new food and hosting friends.

Why they chose this property

Whether you are looking for a family-friendly home away from home, a cozy cabin for a memorable friend's weekend, somewhere to stay close to snowmobile trails, a place where working online all day can still feel like a vacation...the Cloquet Pines Retreat is the place for you! If you have any special requests, please do let us know and we will do our best to meet them.
