Very comfortable and private location. The house is clean and well maintained. The location is easy to get to downtown and Spirit Mountain. The sauna is a bonus.
We loved this vacation rental! The setting in the woods was beautiful, the house was amazing and clean with great views, and the hosts were very responsive! We were in town for a trail race and loved that we could walk to the superior hiking trail from our back yard! We would definitely stay again!
We stayed here while skiing at Spirit Mountain for the weekend. The house was awesome and in a great location. The house has been very nicely updated and was very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend this place!
Fantastic property. Clean, comfortable and easy access to all attractions around Duluth. Owners were easily accessible though not needed since everything was in good order with the property. Will definitely stay here again when we get back to Duluth.
Mark and Jamie, we had a great stay. The accommodations were everything we hoped for. We loved our home away from home. The convenience of being so close to many Duluth attractions was a big plus. We only wish our vacation could have lasted longer. Looking forward to future visits at this peaceful “Retreat”.
What a gem!
From the space, to the sauna and yard, to the proximity to downhill, nordic, and bike trails, this place has it all.
Thanks for making our Duluth trip relaxing and memorable. We'll be back!
As repeat renters for this location, my friends and I were thrilled once again. This home is clean and inviting, had everything we needed to cook and feel comfortable, and is in a safe and private location. We plan a third stay next year. :)
A very cozy quiet stay. The house is clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed skiing out the back door and then came back to an incredible sauna and a warm relaxing retreat. Thanks so much. We will be back for hiking season.
Great home for a friend weekend in Duluth. This house is right next to Spirit Mountain and about 10-15 minutes from Canal. Very nice kitchen and great room. Clean home and great yard.
Wonderful weekend catching up with friends biking, hiking to waterfalls and enjoying each other’s company. Great location for bike trail and quiet neighborhood to relax and unwind! We even used the sauna which was a great experience!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Spirit Mountain Retreat! It’s absolutely beautiful and warm and inviting. Everything is new and fresh. Jaime and Mark were amazing hosts! Providing everything from toilet paper to snow plowing. We had such an amazing experience and we can’t wait to return.
We couldn’t have been happier and more comfortable with this house. So clean and had everything we needed. Little far from downtown Duluth but that was ok. Guessing it is absolutely ideal for ski weekends but we had a short summer getaway. Would stay here again if in the area.
Great spot- beautiful location next to a hiking trail, cute and clean house- our kids (ages 5-10) adored the house too! Sauna was a fun bonus. Did an easy day trip up the North Shore- Black Beach, Split Rock Lighthouse trail, Gooseberry Falls, and Canal Park. Had the feeling of being more remote (with large windows overlooking beautiful trees), yet was convenient. Would love to come back and do more hikes out the backyard. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
My friends and I love this home so much that we’ve now stayed here three consecutive years. Mark and Jamie are so easy to work with - ensuring we have all we need and setting us up for a great stay.
We loved exploring the woods behind the house, coming across a small frozen waterfall. The location made it easy for us to get to and from shops, restaurants, and Bentleyville. The kitchen had all we needed to make some meals in-house.
We appreciate the holiday decor, which helped us get into the Christmas spirit.
Can’t wait for year four!
The property was a little oasis in Duluth, you feel like you’re tucked back into the woods but have a 10 mins drive to anywhere. The property interior and exterior was very well kept and clean. The property owners were very well with communication and flexibility
We enjoyed the backyard area every night.
The house is exactly as pictured yet somehow even better. The owners have done an amazing job remodeling this property, making it quaint, modern, clean, inviting, just overall fabulous. They have considered every possible amenity; we could not find a single thing they did not have. They are excellent communicators and overall consummate hosts. We would stay in any property they owned again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
We recently stayed at this wonderful property up north, and it was absolutely perfect for our family! The place was incredibly clean and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. With younger children, we appreciated the family-friendly setup—plenty of space for them to play and explore. The back yard goes under appreciated, lots of space with trail access and secluded fire pit.
The amenities were fantastic, especially the sauna, which was great after the kids went to bed. The hosts were amazing—helpful, responsive, and quick to answer any questions.
The property has a the cabin charm, but it’s also conveniently located close to Duluth’s attractions. It’s the ideal spot for families looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty to do nearby. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning!
