**Snow Removal / Winter Note**: Please note that we make every effort to keep the driveway plowed and the sidewalk cleared for our guests~ for your safety and because we live here too! We recently had two guests who complained that the sidewalk and driveway were not freshly cleared...both in the middle of a snowstorm. This I simply will not tolerate. If we are delayed in clearing, its because we are waiting for the snowstorm to pass or because we are taking care of our busy family inside~ not because we are neglecting you! Your grace, patience, and understanding are welcomed during the winter months as we tend to get A LOT of snow and do our best to keep up!

Easy trip to Duluth for a few hours of shopping- back to the property for relaxation! Immaculate, well- stocked, felt like home. Will visit again! Thanks!"

Pike Lake Lodge is nestled on 2.5 wooded acres just outside Duluth and only 2.5 hours from Minneapolis. Located on the shoreline of Pike Lake - one of the most popular lakes in the area. It's known for its clear water and sandy beaches.

There is a golf course and restaurant on the east end of the lake (Pike Lake Golf and Beach Club) that is open to the public. In the summer you can rent a pontoon boat there. The property features several nice amenities such as a Finnish sauna, sport court, outdoor fire pit (some wood provided), private sandy beach, pinball machine, bubble hockey, wet bar, ping pong table, gas fireplace and beach house with additional sleeping areas. Beautifully lit pathways guide your stroll around the property. Inside the home is a true 'up north' feel and you'll have more than enough space for your entire group with over 4,300 sq. ft. and an awe-inspiring 30' high vaulted living room ceiling. Cozy up with a good book by the fireplace. Or get the whole family together for a movie in the basement on the 70" big screen TV. Music lovers will enjoy speakers throughout the home and outdoors, where you can immerse yourself in sound. Kids will enjoy the pinball machine and bubble hockey in the basement and ping pong table in the garage. And everyone will enjoy the hot tub too! At Pike Lake Lodge, there's something for everyone no matter what age!

- "Everything about our stay and the property was amazing" - "Wow! That was my husband's response when we drove in for our son's wedding weekend in the area...it was more beautiful than the photos and had everything we could've wanted. We were talking about booking a return vacation before we even looked at everything, and everyone wants to go back on a regular basis. Our only regret was we didn't book more days this time. We loved it and it was perfect for our large family!"

You will love being surrounded by beautiful trees on your scenic drive up the 1/2 mile driveway. When you reach the end of the road, you have arrived. The property is on a small private lake where you can enjoy fishing off the dock, lounging in the hammocks or boathouse, paddling around the island on a paddle board, kayak, canoe or enjoy a bonfire any time of the day. There are many 4-wheeler and snowmobile trails nearby if you choose to bring them along.

The winter months are great for ice fishing (bass and Northern Pike), snowmobiling, X-C Skiing, snowshoeing or biking on your Fat Bike. Groomed X-C ski trails near the loft are 10 minutes away. Spirit Mountain is a 30 minute drive for winter skiing, snowboarding and biking trails. Duluth has many beautiful mountain bike trails for all levels and have gorgeous scenery year round.

You will most certainly see loons, geese, deer, beavers, wild turkeys, sandhill cranes, Trumpeter Swans and eagles that surround the property. The loft above the garage is an inviting private Nordic hideaway with a cozy canopy bed, French press with provided coffee and the lake, sauna and boathouse are just a minutes walk.

The owners live on the property and may or may not be present during your stay, but will always respect your space.

The historic boathouse is a common space for guests to enjoy and it's located on the shore of our lake. Perfect for reading, getting out of the sun, having coffee, drinks or dining. It is not exclusive to the rental of the loft as the owners of the property may also be present and the geodesic dome in the woods is an additional rental in the summer months. The boathouse is open from May - October (although this depends on the weather). There is absolutely no overnight sleeping in the boathouse.

The property is 23 miles from Canal Park in Duluth, just under 30 minutes

- "Hunter was great with any questions we had, the house was great and had everything we needed. The property was an awesome spot on the lake to relax and have a good time!" - "We came for my cousin’s bachelorette. We had so much fun relaxing by the lake, canoeing, and playing games together. The house was clean and had all the essentials for a fun weekend (even croquet!) I’d highly recommend this stay and will definitely come back if time allows."
