Clean, incredibly stocked and attentive hosts! The fireplace, sauna and heated floors were so appreciated during our chilly winter weekend!
Beautiful home and location was beautiful. Even got to see some wildlife right out the patio door! Amazing hosts and accommodated our needs above and beyond. Made our weekend so special! Will definitely be staying here again, thank you!
The host was very responsive. Our family had a great time at this place. The sauna was a special treat on a cold day. Its a very nice, quiet, and clean house.
Host was very helpful, attentive and welcoming! The home was exactly what we were looking for, well stocked, warm and comfortable. I hope we get a chance to come back and stay again!
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Duluth home for our Christmas vacation! Morgan was a very responsive, kind and helpful host, and the home was set up with everything we needed. My Florida kids had their first real snow experience, and were thrilled to play in the huge yard, watch a family of deer right outside, and roast marshmallows by the fire pit. It feels very private, while still being within 20 minutes of downtown. The views and overlooks off North Shore drive are stunning. Would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed our stay so much!!! Morgan was amazing to work with!! I would recommend everyone to choose this place!! The house is beautiful!! The peace and quiet was remarkable!! Nothing like going outside and hearing nothing but nature!! The kids enjoyed going outside and looking around and seeing the animals we don’t get to see living in town!! I give this place and Morgan a 10 out of 10!!! Thank you for your hospitality!!
Very relaxing and comfortable place to stay. The host was very easy to communicate with and helpful. We came as our bible study and were able to not only enjoy r&r but grow in our bonds. The fireplace was cozy and the kitchen was the best stocked Ive ever been in. Very quite beautiful location, we had some deer joining us one morning for breakfast. Will look to come back again and recommend to my family.

Nice home for a family! Lots of space to sleep and hang out! Nice location between Duluth and Two Harbors! Easy check in! Would stay again!
We loved this property during our weekend visit! The host was extremely communicative and made sure the process was easy and straightforward. The amenities were great and all of the outdoor areas were nice for a fall weekend up north. I didn’t personally stay in the master bedroom, but our friends who did said they found a lot of hair on the sheets. Other than that, everything was perfect! We would definitely stay again.
Our extended family was traveling to the North Shore for a vacation. This was a great place to stay with lots of room. We really enjoyed the fire pit, blackstone grill and sauna. It’s a little off the beaten path which was great for having some privacy and relaxation after days of travel and sightseeing.
This was a wonderful home for our family of seven to stay while we explored Duluth and the North Shore! There was plenty of room to spread out, and the basement was the perfect hangout area for our young adult kids. We loved the sauna, fireplace, and outdoor propane fire table. The location is secluded, yet conveniently located for driving to the many beautiful destinations such as Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock, Tettegouche, Park Point, etc. This was actually our second stay at this VRBO, and we’d love to come back again!
Great property to stay at with a large group! It was great having so many rooms available for sleeping and we loved all of the rooms to hang out in. The outdoor space was perfect for playing outdoor games and sitting around a fire. The close proximity to Duluth and hiking trails made this the perfect location for us. Morgan was super responsive and provided all the information we needed! We loved this place and definitely hope to visit again.
Aside from the big rain we had which cause a little leak downstairs, I notified the owners and they came and cleaned it up in a timely manner and was just as dry as when we had first checked in. The views were beautiful along with the big spacious yard. Last but not least was the neighbors pet bunny Bruce! Nice little fella, we fed it some carrots and celery sticks!
Great location, plenty of space, loved the outdoor fire pit and natural setting, well stocked kitchen, communicative and kind hosts that went the extra mile
This cabin was in the perfect place for our family. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The guys loved the fire ring in the evening and the kitchen had all we needed.
We had an amazing time. There was so much space for our kiddos to run around inside and outside. The property was clean and very private with lots of outdoor chairs to sit in. We would definitely stay again!
Great quiet/private/ peaceful setting located in the middle of attractions and hwy61. Easy to find. Everything worked well and living room and kitchen were perfect for Gathering when not outside.
Eight of us came up from Arkansas to visit family who lives in Duluth. We needed a place large enough for all of us and this house was perfect! Beautiful house and property , comfortable beds, loved the sauna! Short drive into town. Definitely recommend this place.
We were a group of seven adults and four small kids that really enjoyed staying at this large cabin. Completely private, lovely outdoor spaces for gathering in the evenings. Easy access to stores and restaurants in Duluth, and easy to drive further up the shore for adventure!
We stayed during memorial weekend! The house was amazing! It had everything we needed and more! If you want to cook all the pots/pan and all the cooking supplies you need. The beds were super comfortable! The host was attentive!
We will stay again! Highly recommend staying here!
