Breath taking view

Is a great location of water front and north of Duluth less then 30 minute drive. Very clean and has everything you need in the kitchen. It is a well cared for home. We would recommend this place to an outdoor enthusiast.

I am native to the Duluth area, love to be near the lake and take in all the summer and winter activities the northland has to offer.

Why they chose this property

You feel like the city is so far away, yet it's only a 30 minute drive. A perfect mix of country close enough for day trips to Duluth.

What makes this property unique

This property has plenty of space, and two separate cabins. it's located close enough to Duluth for convenience and far enough away to feel you are out of the city. Island Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the area and has plenty of recreational options winter and summer.
