Family Vacation
Beautiful, peaceful property. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Separate climate control in the living and bedroom areas. Sauna was great. Horses weren't out when we woke up in the morning and didn't get a reply about if they were around, they were out later though and the rest of the trip. . Snacks and drinks available.

Quiet Stay Outside of Duluth
This is the perfect place for anyone wanting to visit Duluth during the day and have a quiet, beautiful place to enjoy in the evening.
The hosts were very welcoming and kind.
They add a personal touch to your stay by greeting you, helping as needed, and providing treats and cookies!
It was a wonderful place to stay.

A lovely visit
We genuinely enjoyed our stay! It was a perfect space for our needs, and we loved that our hosts let us meet the horses. It was a little further from Duluth than we realized, but still a reasonable drive. Thanks so much!

Great memory of our stay
My now fiance and I absolutely loved our host and the studio that we stayed in minus the bed. The mattress felt very worn out and left us with aches and pains in the morning but other than that we loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

The perfect place with the perfect hosts
This rental is one of the best that we have stayed at, and we have stayed at many. The location was peaceful, the apartment was beautiful, and Ron & Deb were wonderful hosts. Included with the apartment were so many perks, including coffee, snacks, and a view with horses. We would return again for sure and would recommend this VRBO with 5+ stars.

An Inspiring Beauty
This property was breath taking. It is remote and privately located down a gravel road. The residence was pristine and the grounds had a 360 degree view reminiscent of a Van Gough painting. I highly recommend this property especially if you want a break from crowds and desire a quiet one of a kind rural experience.

True Gem!
The unit is absolutely lovely and more charming and beautiful than pictured. It is 15 minutes away from the towns of Duluth, Cloquet, and Carlton so you have to drive a bit but definitely worth it. Complimentary coffee and snacks were an unexpected surprise! 2 thumbs up!

2 day stay
Very nice experience. We were looking for peace and quiet while still being close to the urban areas and skiing. This worked out perfectly for us. The sauna and the horses were extra bonuses. Will highly recommend.
