North shore
Stayed last summer. Loved the spaciousness and location. Still the same issues as last summer. Multiple repairs still not addressed. Looks like it’s up for sale. No plans for a repeat here next year.

Two Harbors Adventure
We wanted a prime location as we made our adventure of hiking along the North Shore. The location was great. For a house 120 years old, it had character and provided what was needed. The house provided plenty of space and each had their own room. We were within walking distance of the pier, beach, and restaurants & the iconic Castle Danger brewery. Bonus was music in the park.
We had a very nice time on our 3 day adventure.

Time in Two Harbors
Location was great. Having 6 bedrooms was great. Family of nine were able to walk around Two Harbors for restaurants and shopping with ease. Easy shot to head further up the shore for hiking and quiet time along Burlington beach hunting for agates. The place is still being renovated and needs a LOT of work. Didn’t expect that and how much still needed to be done. Cracked windows, ill fitted storm door that ripped into carpet in the porch, no decent outside space with seating, only seating for 6 in the dining area. Should probably had more work done before renting. But our kids and grandkids really liked having the space. Would consider it again if more has been completed.

Long weekend away
Just wanted to get away for the weekend with our family and we enjoy the beauty of the North Shore. The home is definitely older but the spaces were well used. It was very nice to have had a large garage to park our vehicles in as it was Heritage Days in Two Harbors and it would have been hard to park if there had not been a garage.

Outside and inside looks
The outside needs A lot of updating so it doesn’t look so run down. The work inside was just half done(paint tape and residue left on windows)
Front storm door needs fixed and moved up so it actually opens.
Really appreciated the toiletry items left in shower, beds and pillows were very comfortable!
Would stay here again

Grand Old House
My family spent 3 nights in the house. It was very clean and spacious. You can tell the house went through a reno and money was spent in the right places. The bedrooms and living room were very comfortable. There was enough seating and a bed for everyone. The beds were extremely comfortable.
Had a little trouble with the lock and the air conditioning, but once we figured it out, all went well.
Thanks for the stay.
