Vacation rentals with lake access in St. Louis County

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

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!

A few years ago I stayed here but it was just for a few days and I always knew that I would want to come back and stay for a longer time. The time came and I am so glad that I came back the place is still in such a beautiful location. You feel like you are out in your own little world yet you are close enough to town. The hosts had made some changes to the place since the last time I stayed there and it made the place even better. The house had everything I could ask for and more. I felt relaxed and safe. This will definitely be a place that I come back to time and time again. I also love that at night we could have the windows open and hear the call of the loons on the lake.

Wow! It was such a beautiful home, and the area was incredible and so peaceful. The house truly had everything we needed and more. It had a huge kitchen, large eating spaces, beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds. We loved the bunk room combined with a game room/movie projector area! Outside we enjoyed playing corn hole, Jenga and s’mores around the fire pit. My entire family had a wonderful vacation. Such a fabulous way to start the summer. Jake and Annie were great hosts. Excellent communication! Always received a prompt response.

We had a great stay at this home! We loved how clean and homey it was, had gorgeous views, and was walkable to canal park! The beach is gorgeous and was fun to spend time on the upper deck. Opening the windows and listening to the waves was a wonderful way to relax! We would absolutely recommend this home and will be back!

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!

It’s very clean and a neat place to stay great view of the lake watched the the full moon rise out the windows. Would love to have stayed longer. We may be back.

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!

Incredible location right over the lift bridge. Easy to get to and find. Central to restaurants and breweries and quick drives to multiple state parks. Great spot

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 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.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay at Valerie's cabins. We loved the location, which is close to Sax Zim Bog and the Wilbert Cafe. The main cabin and additional cabin were perfect for our group of three birders. The kitchen was big with lots of amenities and the heat worked great. We are all from Florida and were warm and toasty, even with temps below zero. The wood stove was a nice touch and added ambience. I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again on my next visit.

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.
