This Premier Ski House is at the base of Spirit Mtn, the epicenter of Duluth. Enjoy a range of activities from this convenient and scenic location. Here’s what our guests have to say:

"We rented all 3 homes on this block for a family wedding, and everyone envied ours due to its stylish decor, fresh flowers, toiletries, and cleanliness. We clearly chose a higher-end option with great attention to detail. We'll be back!" - Sharon, Minneapolis

The space
The Ski House stands out as a premier vacation rental within the River West Development, renowned for its charm and the loyalty of returning guests. This inviting home is enhanced by thoughtful, unique decorations that reflect the area's thrilling outdoor adventures, particularly its Nordic and downhill skiing.

Guests are treated to exceptional in-house cleaning services, ensuring a pristine environment to relax and unwind after a day on the slopes. The heart of the home features a spacious family room, perfect for gathering together, whether for cozy evenings by the fire or lively game nights. The expansive kitchen is a culinary haven, designed for entertaining, complete with ample space for preparing and enjoying meals with friends and family.

One of the standout features of the Ski House is its 8-person sauna —an oasis of relaxation that offers a perfect way to soothe tired muscles after a day in the snow. Additionally, this property offers the rare advantage of two sets of washers and dryers, a convenient feature that guests appreciate immensely after long, wet days outdoors. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a welcoming, comfortable retreat for all who stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was well stocked with kitchen items and made our day of cooking and dinner easy! The lower level was a bit chilly, and maybe that’s because we couldn’t fully figure out the thermostat. But having the wall fireplace was perfect!

The Modern Ski House was the perfect place for our family stay for our daughter’s wedding. The house had every amenity we could ask for. It was to prepare and serve family meals with a great kitchen and enough seating for 11 people. The bedrooms were so comfortable and especially nice to have 3 full bathrooms and a powder room. We enjoyed the sauna and the walking paths nearby were wonderful to allow the children to release their energy. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable.

This house was so beautiful and even tastefully decorated for Christmas. 🎄❤️ Our family was able to comfortably gather, watch football, make holiday cocktail/mocktails, wear matching Christmas pj’s, and play games. This house provided everything you could possibly need. When we arrived, the beds all had a welcoming little stack of towels, makeup wipes, and toothbrush kits. Definitely a five star rental.
