Fabulous place. We would definitely stay here again. Tabitha was wonderful to deal with & very responsive to any questions we had. Even when we had to change our dates of travel, she worked with us. The home was in a beautiful location, very clean, and they offer anything & everything you could possibly need while staying there. The view was awesome as well, it was a great stay.

Spectacular View on Lake Superior

The location was superb, the proximity to get to everything was spot-on. The cleanliness and updated amenities and bathrooms were appreciated. The towels and bedding and beds were clean and comfortable for a 4-night stay. We used the dishes to make meals and loved the ice-maker in the fridge. Definitely felt like enough room for the 4 of us in that space and close to everything we experienced in and near Duluth. The only suggestion I would have is to get a different/bigger couch in the main living area, that one was smaller than a futon and uncomfortable for a full grown adult. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Would love to stay again someday!

Beautiful

A lot of thoughtful attention clearly went into designing and furnishing this lovely property, and it's obvious that the hosts prioritize ease and comfort for guests. It's cozy, quiet, and restful. The rooms and kitchen are well provided -- far more than everything we needed. And the light! The view out of all the big windows overlooking the lake was fabulous. It was unfortunately a bit too cold for us to take full advantage of the outdoor area; in warmer weather, we absolutely would have enjoyed the patio and a fire.

Spirit Mtn Ski Holiday

Very comfortable, well appointed and well suited to our group of 5. Beds were excellent. Several very nice little extras such as coffee pods, a small snack basket, and bath essentials. Kitchen was well equipped (a colander would be a good addition as well as more than one dish towel). Dishwasher instruction that the door must be closed before end of 'count down' would also be helpful. Clean approach to decorating was appreciated by all in our group.

Nice, but lacking full attention to detail.

Its a nice property, but there are some things that make it feel this is not a labor of love for the owners. Positives:That VIEW!Well stocked kitchen (including a garlic press!)Nicely decoratedHvac system keeps the home plenty warmClose to duluth and surrounding actvitiesManagement was very responsive.Good selection of games providedNegatives:I dont think the bedding was washed. The comforter in the main bedroom along w one of the robes definitely smelled of mens cologne.The washing machine is very dirty and has an intense mold smell and needs to be cleaned (regularly for a front load since the door gets closed a lot)The water heater is not sufficient for the amount of guests this location advertises as able to accomodate, and all 5 of us had to take cold showers one day even tho the dishwasher and wash machine had not been run 10 hours prior to showers.There was an issue w water leaking through the rock walls in one of the bedrooms (tho thus was addressed quickly)There was a black headband and a wine box discovered in a guest bedroom upon entry to the cottage which again indicates cleaning is not strongly emphasized.The front porch steps are exceedingly slippery on a cold morning following a foggy night...non skids should be put on the steps as several of us nearly fell down the stairs. No washcloths or hand towels provided in the bathrooms. We had to seek them out on our own from the locked storage area. Would i stay again? Maybe. But i would
