Holiday rentals with lake access in St. Louis County

Nicol’s place was very private and quiet. Located in a private bay on Shagawa Lake with no noise from other boats or vacationers. The house was clean and spacious, just as described. We had plenty of space for 7 and could have easily fit more. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. The kitchen was well appointed & had everything we needed for cooking all our meals in. We rented a pontoon from Lakewood Lodge to complete our week on the lake. We highly recommend Nicol’s place & would stay here again.

The home was very clean and had everything we needed for our trip!

We had a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed and easy to find. Check-in was smooth, and we felt welcomed and right at home from the moment we arrived. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at the Island Lake Getaway. Fishing was great right off the dock. We were able to use kayaks and pedal boats, and they also had lots of sand toys and games for the kids to play outside. There isn’t anything that could have made this a better stay than it was! We were so impressed with the property, and all the family who came to visit was also blown away by how beautiful it was. We usually book a hotel when we stay in Duluth, but this was so much better for our family of 4.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. We had a great time fishing, eating at various places and traveling the North Shore.

Wonderful stay! The house was just as described and we loved being able to use the kayaks and fire pit. The sunset views here are amazing and the kitchen has everything we needed for cooking. Would definitely stay again!

WOW! This place is such an awesome find and Charlie and Heidi have been the most responsive, helpful and kind hosts we have come across in our time using Airbnb. The home is gorgeous and laid out in a way that even with a large group of people, you can always find a quiet spot for yourself. The view is AH-mazing! Beds were extremely comfortable, home was spotless, and the young adults LOVED the sauna. I personally enjoyed my morning coffee in the downstairs porch area or on the deck, enjoying the million dollar view and listening to the loons. Heidi and Charlie have put so much thought into making sure that their home feels like your own with so many thoughtful and appreciated supplies and comforts. They put their heart and soul into making sure you have a memorable and lovely stay. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay! I was traveling with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old, and this place couldn’t have been more perfect for a family getaway. The kids loved spending time by the lake, playing with the extra toys and games on the property, and especially making s’mores by the fire at night. It was the kind of stay where you truly make lasting memories together. A special shoutout to Daniela. She was fantastic. Super attentive, quick to respond, and incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. Her personal touch made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone, especially families looking to unwind and connect! — Grant

We had a girls trip to Duluth and loved staying here. It was so close to all of the restaurants and shops in canal park. We loved that we could walk everywhere! The place was very clean, tidy, and welcoming. Perfect for our girls getaway!

We stayed at Lakeview Tea for our 10th Anniversary in June and it was absolutely perfect. Not only is the apartment charming and well-appointed, but the private deck overlooking Lake Superior was like a dream. We had an incredible time and highly recommend this host. Jennifer went above and beyond to make this special for us, and she has a unique touch of adding the little things that make the place feel luxurious. And waking up to the view of the lake from a fabulously comfy bed was just the relaxing getaway we needed! The weather was cold, which was WONDERFUL for these south Florida guests. ☺️

We had the best time at Tabitha’s! Everything was beautiful! We look forward to coming back on our next trip!

This was a beautiful location for a relaxing vacation. The property manager was very responsive and friendly. I recommend that you reach out to him before your visit since you will be interacting with him rather than Evolve.

It was exactly as it was described. A beautiful studio with easy beach access on both sides. Very clean and with great access to all of the things that Duluth has to offer!

Great place. Best part was the location. Walked the beach every morning. Very close to the harbor and cool restaurants. Quiet, friendly neighbors. Very pleased with our choice, would stay there again.

Beautiful apartment right on Island Lake. The deck is great for morning coffee, afternoon Happy Hour and anytime in between. There is a kayak, paddle board and pedal boat available. The apartment is spotless. Marie was very responsive to any questions. Great host. Great apartment. Great stay.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at one of Dillions places. Both have been amazing. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

An absolutely amazing trip. We booked the boathouse to get away from the world for a few days and experience one of Minnesota's beautiful lakes. When we arrived at the boat landing, Julia was waiting for us and took us out to the island. During our visit, we never went further out then we could paddle. The island is a very serene setting - a perfect blend of awe inspiring nature, as well as rustic, yet very comfortable anemities. We spent our days sleeping in a comfortable bed, cooking lunch in the full kitchen while taking in the beauty of the lake, taking in the smell of the pines and exploring the waters on kayaks, paddleboards, and the aquabike. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset every night from the shore, and took our time looking at the endless stars before before retiring to the boathouse for the night. At night, we listened to the waves crash against the shore and loons sing to each other. To the people who grew up visiting the Northwoods, this will feel very nostalgic, and people who have never been will enjoy the new memories and experiences greatly. A perfect place to disconnect from the world. In addition to the wonderful nature and great boat house, Julia is an absolute gem of a person. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and welcoming. You can tell she has a great love and appreciation for the island. She was extremely responsive to questions prior to arriving, as well as when we were on the island. I cannot thank her enough.

This lake house was absolutely wonderful!!!! A needed respite and very comfortable. The house is surrounded with beauty and the furnishings are so cozy that you feel like you are at home. Melissa has thought of everything and has gone beyond. The area has local stores and restaurants that have such unique ambiance with friendly staff. We stayed here for a month and a half with some of that time being colder weeks and were even able to enjoy a beautiful snow on the lake. If you are looking for a stay that will check all the boxes, you’ve found it in this place. Highly recommended!!!!

Absolute gem of a place! Perfect location with an incredible view of Lake Superior. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating of our short notice stay. I wish we could have stayed forever. Would be thrilled to stay at North Shore Cottages again in the future!

Can’t say enough great things about this cabin. Such cute decor, clean as a whistle, such a well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, awesome location. We would head back in a second!

Property was spacious, well maintained, and clean. Host provided clear instructions and was always friendly, proactive and responsive. This definitely contributed to an overall positive vacation experience!

I was staying here with three other friends for a birding trip. We really enjoyed the place, were very comfortable, and had close proximity to Sax-Zim Bog for our birding trip. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are birding the bog!

Our stay here was amazingly peaceful! We enjoyed the outdoors flying kites during the day and roasting marshmallows at night. Our time indoors was spent playing various games in the garage and also many board and card games available in the house. Great place to stay if you’re looking to get away!

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.
