Nine of us stayed at Caribou Cove in June. I thought this place was a great value! The lake is calm and quiet during the week. We loved the fire pit, patio, decks. The place is well considered, with many hang out spots. The host was very responsive and helpful. Our whole family could gather on the patio or to watch a movie. We loved having more than 1 TV for sports fans in the basement. The place is in great shape, fresh, bright. The hosts left us snacks and a cute souvenir bag. The location was very convenient to visit the sites in Duluth. I would say this place was pretty perfect, but 2 things worth mentioning. We were hoping to rent a pontoon from an off site rental place, but the dock is pretty small and the hosts had their pontoon parked there. The host did offer that we could park on the other side of the dock, but there was a pipe sticking out awkwardly and we felt uncomfortable grounding it on the beach. The other thing to mention is that we were counting on the pull out couch in the basement for our 9th family member. The couch and pull out were quite uncomfortable, so this person ended up sleeping on the floor instead. Worked out fine for us, but not great for a light sleeper. As i said, these are small points, and we would definitely come back again.
