A wonderful place for our group of 7 adults. More than enough bedrooms, bathrooms, places to park, places to sit around the table, etc. Comfy beds, cute amenities in the house, enough items in the kitchen to cook a big meal, and a great location... everything you would need in a rental. The management company was super friendly and communicative as well!

Nice place to stay

Most aspects of this property are excellent, as expected based on pictures and price. Check-in was easy. The kitchen is well equipped, but we had issues with the disposal tripping a breaker repeatedly and the dishwasher being a challenge to run. Either printed or online access to information on these appliances and their quirks would be helpful. In addition, based on the cost of our stay, I would have expected everything to be top quality. A picky thing, but an important detail: the tissues were poor quality and uncomfortable to use. One other little detail is that each bedroom should have a small wastebasket. Overall though, a lovely property in a beautiful natural setting with views of the river and wildlife.

Good location, good space, good access to Duluth

Check in was easy, the door was a little tricky to unlock but I got it in a few tries. The space was big and open and had plenty of room for us to spread out. The yard space was nice and being right between the river and spirit mountain is pretty awesome. There’s a neighborhood market just up the street so good access to quick snacks. It was a great time and a very new home that had everything we could have wanted!
