Weekend Fun!

Great location and a cozy place! Easy drive to nearby hikes/Duluth/attractions. Our group of 5 also had fun watching freight trains pass (did not disturb sleep)!

Over good place. When we arrived there was an excessive amount of flies all over the doors and windows. I was able to contact the owner of the property and we discussed it. We were there mainly for hiking and sight seeing so all we needed was a place to wash up and sleep. Over all good place. 4.5 out of 5 is what I would rate it if I can.

Great Stay!

We stayed at this property over Labor Day weekend for a family wedding and reunion. The house was well-appointed and had all the essentials. The property is beautiful and well taken care of. It was an easy drive to Duluth. We would definitely stay again.

Great place outside of Duluth

We loved staying here! It was perfect for being close enough to everything, while having more privacy than at a hotel. There is a train nearby, but you can barely hear it when inside the house. The beds are comfy and it’s a great deal!

Nice property!

This was a nice secluded location in the country for our girls get away. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with dishes and cookware. A firepit with more wood than we could ever burn.. Anna was very responsive. There is a market nearby. Just a great experience!

Cute house with all the essentials provided! We enjoyed the area with access to campfires.

Very easy to book and Anna was very prompt in responding to questions I had before our stay. Quick 20 min drive to downtown Duluth! Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Nice quiet stay

Nice place to rent, you get more room for your money than going to a hotel. Property is about 15 minutes from downtown Duluth which made us having to plan the day thoroughly instead of at a downtown hotel where the planning can be more low key.

Perfect Spot

We needed a safe and clean place for our Boy Scout Crew to stay on their way to Northern Tier. This was the perfect location. Lots of room to run and explore outside and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Thank you for having them!

5 out of 5 FOR SURE !!!!

This property is EXACTLY like advertised. Anna is very easy and pleasant to communicate with. I loved that this property far enough out for privacy and quiet with just a short drive to all attractions. VERY happy with our first Vrbo experience. :)
