It is located only two (2) blocks from Brighton Beach Park (Kitchi Gammi) and Lester River Park for great hiking or mountain biking. Grocery store within two (2) blocks. The Gales, on the lakeside of London Road (which can become busy in the tourist season), is one of the two units in this up and down Villa. PL 22-012. The upper villa is a vacation rental called “The Vue on Lake Superior”. If you’re interested in booking the entire property, please contact the host.
ROAD CONSTRUCTION: Please note: London Road (Hwy 61) will be under construction during the 2026 season, beginning in late April and continuing into the fall. During this project, northbound traffic on London Road will remain open, but southbound traffic will be detoured to Superior Street through portions of the work area.
For guests, the main impact will be extra travel time when heading south toward downtown Duluth, Canal Park, and other western parts of the city. The detour is expected to affect travel patterns for much of the construction season, so we recommend allowing a little extra time when arriving, departing, or planning outings.
Our goal is to make your stay as smooth as possible, and we simply want guests to be aware of the roadwork before arrival. For the most current project details and detour maps, please review the official MnDOT information below:

This is a beautiful home, gorgeous view. Everything you need is available. We only wished it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the fire pit! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
Property was very clean and well stocked, great view of Lake Superior, and good location to access Duluth and the Northshore. Only problem was the constant sound of vehicles driving fast on London Road.
Loved the views, ships, sailboats & waves!!! Super chill…loved everything except the Keurig was not working….need a new coffee machine….otherwise everything was amazing!!! Thank you for a relaxing week!!!
Location is awesome, inside is bright and clean, you can hear the lake at night, right on the scenic trail, you can watch the ore ships go right by, everything we wanted!
Everything you would want at your own home & more, great views of ships, wildlife & listening to the waves. Totally awesome experience, will definitely book another vacation at this location!!!
Sometimes when you book a VRBO, the pictures sure look better than the actual place. Not the case here! This place was SO amazing!! The location, the amenities, the view, the rooms, etc. My adult children absolutely adored it, wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place! 12/10 stars!!
