Gorgeous, but comfortable property which had us conveniently located for travels to Duluth or heading up along the North Shore. We had plenty of space for our family of 6 to spread out. The house was clean and perfectly decorated. The hosts were gracious and great with communication. Definitely recommend this for your family’s next stay.

We had a great stay at Wildwood Cottages! I reached out to the host prior to our arrival and they were able to accommodate a simple request before we even got there. A bulb went out in the bathroom and they replaced it right away. Our whole family was excited about the river and waterfalls that were within walking distance. We could hear the rushing of the waterfalls before we could even see it! We saw several deer during our stay, some right outside the living room window. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The home is right between Two Harbors and Duluth. Will definitely stay again!
