What I disliked was the inconvenience of the place at times. If we wanted to see a movie, or buy clothes or unusual groceries, we had to drive 2+ hours to Duluth. But then Duluth is a great city itself so we never minded going there either.
What I loved was the wildlife and the lake. Just being near the lake and listening to it was fantastic; for 6 months we lived about 10 feet from the shore so we heard it and smelled it constantly. The lake in a storm is a fantastic thing too. We had an owl invasion our first winter there; one day we counted dozens of great grey owls between our house and Duluth, plus about 30 rough-legged hawks in a short stretch of a road. Lots of things were wonderful there, I can't look at the local websites without getting a little sad.
