About this property

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 area 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.

The property was clean and as advertised. The Host was unbelievably responsive to any and all questions during the process - A. If you read the property description, they tried to thoroughly explain any potential check-in challenges. We could really tell that the Host takes pride in the property. Everything was themed and had character. You want a Host that really cares about their property. This one does for sure. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Note that Google maps takes you to back of the house into what barely looks like an alley. The location is great! The house is as pictured, very cute and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet. There is one dog next door that barks when you enter the front door but seemed to be mostly quiet and we are very intolerant of barking dogs. We stayed in early June so it was neither hot or cold out. If it is summer and you require air conditioning this might not be your best option since the bedrooms are upstairs and window units are needed. No ceiling fans but there are box fans. We did not cook at the house so can't comment on the appliances or well supplied it was. Host is very kind and easy to reach quickly. We would rent here again.

Pleasant stay

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.

Nice family place

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.
