First family vacation
We loved the location, the space was great and the house was well supplied with what we needed. We didn’t use the bedroom by the entryway on the main level because it didn’t have a window. Hopefully a bathroom will be added to the basement. There were areas that were missed getting cleaned. Our family vacation was amazing. We have a wonderful time and our pets had so much room.

Decked-out Deck
We loved the house and were pleased with all of the facilities. We especially appreciated the tables and benches on the deck. We spent the majority of our time outside, which is a special treat during September in Duluth!

Family Vacation
What a great home and location for a family vacation. We enjoyed the deck, the view, the privacy, big kitchen and all of the bedrooms. It was perfect for our extended family to all congregate together in the mornings and evenings and close enough to Duluth and the North Shore to go on fun adventures during the day. Thanks so much.

Peaceful and Serene
This home is located in such a beautiful setting. Nature surrounds you day and night. The beds were comfortable and our family enjoyed both inside and outside activities. The Duluth/NorthShore area has much offer for hiking, biking and overall outdoor enjoyment. We could’ve used an extra refrigerator as there were 12 of us but the owners were timely and efficient in response to any questions we had prior to arriving and after so we were prepared with extra coolers. There was adequate porch space to make use of for them. The deck surrounding the entire back side if the house is amazing and we all loved that space.

Nice Getaway in the Woods!
Overall, we were happy with our stay. There was two families of 5, kids ranging from 9-17. Like all my review, I just list pros and cons: Pros Great location - far from any city noise - beautiful woods - great setup for firepit - all we needed in the kitchen for pots and pans - host was responsive when we were running low on toilet paper - lots of firewood available in nearby building - grill and Blackstone available - comfy beds Cons It was unusually hot when we were there, so a bit of a struggle with warm rooms sometimes as it didn't have full central air from what we could tell - a few mosquitos got in through windows that had window A/C units - a few kids used the bathtub while others were showering and we ran out of hot water for a bit - just spread out showers and you'll be fine - pond was very green, so kids didn't want to swim, but had fun regardless - the pedal boat was outdated, but was usable - the canoe didn't have a usable oar - the listing says it has a sauna, but it's not your typical sauna - it was old school and I'm not sure it worked The house satisfied our needs to get away for a few days and relax.

Family fun getaway
Our trip to Duluth was wonderful and the property was perfect for our family of 15 adults and kids. There were great places to gather and be together yet each family had their own space. The outdoor area was beautiful even though the weather prevented us from being outside very much during our stay. Thankfully the indoor space was great.

A Poorly Maintained Beautiful Property
We drove up to the property, and we thought it looked beautiful. It’s close to Duluth, and it feels very secluded. The view of the pond and landscaping was great. There were fresh flowers on the island and the home had a peaceful vibe. It was humid, so we turned on the air conditioner, and the house didn’t cool down. My brother-in-law tried to turn it on, and it still didn’t work. My husband and father-in-law went down to the basement trying to troubleshoot it. When all simple fixes failed, we contacted the owner, and were told someone would be out the next day. We were satisfied with that response, but then we discovered that less than 1/2 the windows had screens, and a few windows were broken. The next day, a representative came, and tried to troubleshoot the a/c. They were unsuccessful; however, they did provide a fan for the room that only had one window. We were told their handyman had a family emergency and they were trying to get a repairman to fix it “under warranty”. The next day was more of the same although they did bring a portable single room air conditioner in to the room with no airflow. We were offered another location, but that home was not as handicap friendly as the one we were staying at. Given a relative’s mobility issues, it wasn’t an acceptable solution for our family. When we left, the a/c had not been repaired, and everyone was cranky from the humidity. Overall, the a/c not working over-rode the positive experience we were expecting.

Annual family adventure
The property was Beautiful. Overall a great vacation. However, there were no matches/lighter to start fire and the wait time was significant. There was standing water in dishwasher but we ran it anyway. It did not seem to work well and had a significant odor. We chose to hand wash dishes. After one use, the propane tank ran out, so we were unable to cook bacon outside the next morning. Once we mentioned it, Ted did bring a replacement. These were minor inconveniences, however it did cause undue stress in the moment

Relaxing Getaway Weekend
We had a small group of guys that wanted to do a golfing and fly fishing trip. Staying at Lester River Pines was the perfect spot for us. Beautiful chunk of land with a deck that provides beautiful sunrise views over a pond. We particularly enjoyed the large kitchen as it was easy to work in while cooking. There were towels and toiletries laid out in every room and the house was very clean. From start to finish our experience was top notch and we will definitely look to book here again in the future.

My family loved this place. It was close enough for trips to the Duluth Aquarium, Canal Park and Russ Kendall's for smoked fish. It was far enough outside of town to have beaver and ducks on the pond and deer in the field across the road. Lots of room to have quiet time and family time inside and outside.

Very beautiful property! Amazing views. Host did not inform us that they would be working on property the 1st day. They were working on the side of house where. Master bathroom is with large windows with no curtains. We were unable to shower or use the bathroom this whole day do to they would see us. I had a newborn and my dogs. The dogs would bark at the pounding and voices. Waking up the newborn and causing alot of Un needed stress. Host needs to inform guests before they arrive that this will be happening Or do not rent property while work is needed. Beautiful home, great location.
