Just a mile up from Lake Superior located in the middle of Duluth!
Urban Silent Sports Retreat is a house built in 1908 with all original wood floors, that is centrally located a mile up from beautiful Lake Superior. We are set up for everyone but geared to the silent sports folks like skiers, bikers, hikers! This spacious three bedroom, full bath and a half house with full unfinished basement and attached garage has plenty of safe storage for your bicycles, Nordic skis, canoe's and kayaks! Basement is set up for waxing your Nordic skis and we have some bikes and Nordic skis available for renters.
We just finished up our back deck! We now have a table, chairs and you can enjoy the sunshine! Our front deck has a nice porch swing and is covered for enjoyment even in inclement weather!
We opened another rental June 1st 2 miles from Wisconsin Point ! 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom sleeps 6 and we can rent it for just one night unlike this one! Rent both if you have a larger group!
If you are looking for posh, planning to party, smoke at all, do drugs or drink excessively, you'll have to find a different place to rent.
If you want a very quiet house in a nice established neighborhood to use as your home base while you paddle the rivers, bike, run, hike or ski the trails of Outdoor Magazine's top outside town, this is your place!
Home, with much of it's original woodwork, is located less than a mile from Chester Bowl and Bagley which have both running, mountain biking, and Nordic ski trails.
The home is just blocks from being on the Duluth Traverse, less than a mile from Chester, Leif Erickson, and Bagley. We are centrally located so you can quickly get to Spirit Mountain, Superior Hiking Trail, and so, so, so much more!!!
Your hosts spend most of their free time on the numerous trails and bodies of water in the area and would love to share their knowledge with you to help you plan your excursions! We have extra snowshoes, skis, bikes, kayaks and can also direct you to other places to rent. Want us to take you out on the trails? Teach you how to ski or snowshoe? That is our passion we would love to!
Limit of 7 people, pets only upon approval, $75 pet fee.
Our home is a safe, secure, licensed rental PL20-089 .
Check in is after 3pm and check out is 10 am unless we are vacant after you, then you are welcome to stay all day, just ask us...we are super flexible if it's empty before or after no extra charge! We recently added a ring doorbell on the front door and will be putting a camera in the garage also.

Was a good location and walking distance to the lake (about 10 blocks). Did not stay at the house much since we were out and about but did have everything we needed.
Quiet street, comfy beds, clean house, a garage to park in, and top notch communication with the property owner! We had a great stay and would definitely go back again!
Cute house set for a family stay! Everything we needed, family games, lots of places to lounge. Close to everything, great places to eat, fun exploring and great north shore sites!
Nice property. Plenty of room. Very squeaky wooden floors and stairs. A dog (In a kennel) next door would just bark at you incessantly if you were outside. Place was clean and comfortable.
We have extended family in the Duluth area that we visit and we needed to find a place that could host all our adult children and our beloved dog while we visited family.
The beds are comfy and the space is perfect for our needs. Thanks!
We were very happy with our stay. Lots room for the whole family. The kitchen was well stocked with items needed for cooking.
The floors were a little squeeky BUT to be expect with the age of the house.
We would definitely stay here again if visiting Duluth.
This property was perfect for my family. Close to everything in Duluth. The owners had great communication and I couldn’t be happier to have stayed there.
The place was clean and the host was very accommodating. The house location was close to everything we wanted to see. Recommend the Glensheen mansion and the SS meteor
My friends and I stayed here for Spring Break. It was awesome! We had a great time and had lots of entertainment options. Eve and Wayne were super nice, Eve was in communication with me at all times and even offered to let us stay longer after there was a snowstorm!
Centrally located, accurate listing details, friendly host, and clear instructions. Easy to find everything. Water temp and pressure were great. This home is great for a small family looking for a quiet, smoke-free location.
Totally met our needs for our stay! Hosts communicated well in a timely manner. Place was clean & well appointed but is definitely an older home—floors are very creaky & wouldn’t recommend for light sleepers.
This is only our 2nd vrbo experience and the communication was excellent. Especially good for WI sports fans even tho we route for purple and gold! Our college kids enjoyed the cozy environment for our UMD family weekend.
The house was clean and well appointed. It was in a great location with easy access to downtown. It was nice to have a garage, so we didn't have to park on the street. Loved the football theme. I have a lot of family in Wisconsin...go Packers!
