Situated on the serene shores of Island Lake, just a short drive north of Duluth, this charming 492-square-foot cottage is a remodeled retreat that beautifully embraces the changing seasons. Every surface has been thoughtfully updated, from gleaming hardwood floors to the tongue-and-groove ceiling, creating a seamless blend of timeless character and contemporary comfort. The modern kitchen integrates style and function, while the living and dining areas offer full, breathtaking views of the lake. The cozy two-bedroom layout includes a stylish half bath, ensuring a comfortable and modern living experience. Summer comes alive here with 100 feet of private shoreline, a true haven for water enthusiasts. In spring, enjoy peaceful paddles as loons return and the surrounding trails burst into bloom. Autumn transforms the woods into a tapestry of gold, inviting crisp hikes, fishing from the dock, and quiet evenings by the fire. Winter enchants with snowy solitude, cross-country skiing, and warm, cozy interiors. Outside, the property delights with a fire pit perfect for s’mores and relaxation. A charming "BunkHouse" is a great guest space or creative hideaway. At the same time, a new “privy” enhances the property’s rustic charm! This lakefront retreat is a unique and inviting escape year-round. Schedule your Private Showing Today!
