Vacation rentals with a fire pit in St. Louis County

Nicole and Steffan are great hosts. Very communicative! The house is very cozy and felt like home to us for several weeks.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The house was perfect for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 teenagers). We especially enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, frisbee, and the chess table.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to others! It was conveniently located to Duluth where we were visiting for a wedding. The entire house was clean and we were so thankful to be able to bring our pup along with us. Thanks for everything!

My family and I had such an incredible stay at Jennifer’s lake house. It was the perfect combination of spacious, cozy, and private for us to spend our Christmas week there. The location and wintry weather had us feeling like we were in a snow globe. The house was even decorated for the season, and had more than enough room for the group we had. Makes me excited for the summer months, as I would absolutely book here again!

My friends and I spent 3 nights here and enjoyed our time very much. Close to Duluth and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Only downside for me was the beds. I personally didn't find them comfortable at all and didn't sleep well as a result. They felt thin and the beds wobbled and squeaked at every slight shift. That said, the rest of the people in my party didn't think the beds were anything to complain about 🤷‍♀️ so might be personal preference!

Five friends had a great stay at The Trailhouse. We spent time at an event in Duluth, then explored Duluth and visited the lake. The house was a convenient drive to everything we wanted to do. Matthew was very responsive if we had questions. Everything was clean. Big functional kitchen, open to the dining and living room. Take the scenic drive from I35 on 210, if you can. It was beautiful.

This was my second stay at Maria’s place, and I/we truly love it here. It is clean, cozy, and fits our needs perfectly—so easy to settle in and feel at home. The garage is super convenient, and being right next to Kwik Trip (a Wisconsin classic!) is the cherry on top. Maria is a thoughtful, responsive host, and I am genuinely grateful to have found this spot. I am already looking forward to our next visit! Five stars.

We stayed at Nola’s place during the winter with two kids. The home was warm and easily baby proofed. Street parking is always available and the kitchen is well equipped. Nola supplies nice basics in the pantry, bathroom and washroom and a little extra (bug spray/ first aid kit/ many spices). The beds were very comfortable.

Beautiful home, well appointed and the view was stunning. Walkable to Lester Park and Brighton Beach. Tabitha was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

This is either our 2nd or third time staying at Greg's place and it is perfect for us. Located in a very peaceful area and near much of what Duluth has to offer us. Greg was always quick to respond to any questions we had and a super host. We would definitely book there again!!

We stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful 115 year old house. The house came with the creaks and groans of an historical home. What made this 5 star for us was the host, Debbie. Her generosity with provisions and the space and her welcome was much appreciated.

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.

Great place for me to stay while I was in the area for 2½ weeks. Quiet and convenient and great communication!

We had a wonderful stay in Ely, thanks to Debbie! The place is centrally located, but still quiet and off the main road. Check-in was easy and it was great to come back, make dinner, & relax after a day of dog sledding.

Great place! Spacious, very clean, cozy. Had everything we needed. The huge bathtub was a plus! Loved walking on the beach just behind the house. A definite must if you are planning a visit to Duluth. Highly recommend. Excellent hosts. Can't wait to book again:)

It's in the basement. But still a great place for the nature lovers. Saw the duck family at the creek and a couple of deers on the other side of the creek. Comfortable furniture. Well equipped kitchen. Wish the windows were a little bit lower to enjoy the view.

Wonderful weekend with the kids and the dog. Loved the hot tub and the game room. Lovely, cozy place to enjoy as a family.

Great cabin on the lake. Perfect for us to have a few days away. Loved our stay!

We had a great time in Ely! This cabin was the perfect fall weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back :)

Damian was a responsive and hospitable host. The cabin is gorgeous, the view was great, and the sauna was hot! Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

Great Place. Eric is a great host!

We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin is adorable with plenty of space around it. After reading a few reviews about the train tracks being so close I was a little concerned about safety and noise. Once we arrived I noticed that safety was not an issue as a river (stream) is located between the property and the tracks. The train runs through frequently but it didn't have a negative impact on our stay and we live in the country with no trains. Randy was very pleasant to work with and I can't say enough good things about our stay. it was a perfect fit!

This cabin made for a perfect fall weekend girls’ trip. Unfortunately did not get to see the northern lights, but we were able to see lots of stars and in the mornings, there were a couple trumpeter swans that hang out on the lake. The beds were comfortable and rooms were very clean.

The property is as in the photos, very spacious in the inside. Right on the water, only a minute or two from downtown Ely, but worlds away from the City. Nice setting, plenty of room for all in your group. Multiple levels, built to enjoy being on the lake, so many nice touches, and the kitchen is well stocked, with plenty of glasses/plates and everything required to feel at home. Plenty of towels! Hot tub is in a private setting! Second floor is reached by open stairway, includes an open area overlooking first floor, that includes conversation area with futon, and large bedroom with great view of sunrise and attached bathroom with shower and large jetted tub. We were just two, and felt comfortably together, larger groups will not feel crowded, and two cars can park in the garage, and they provide two remote garage door openers, so you do not have to get out of your car to open or close the garage door. Truly is like having your own place in the woods, if you were a millionaire!
