We definitely recommend this beautiful home and we will definitely stay here again. We would love to take another trip north with friends and stay here.Hot tub was great kids loved it. Next time we will definitely book a longer stay to hopefully get to enjoy the fire pit and hot tub more. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need from spices to crockpots. Awesome. Thank you for great memories. ##### Karen G.

The house and amenities were above our expectations. Everything was well stocked for us to prepare meals together. The floor plan was perfect for us to be together while still having our own space. And its an easy drive into Duluth to enjoy the attractions. We loved our stay and are already discussing a return trip! ##### Jackie D.

The home was very clean, nicely updated, thoughtfully stocked and well organized. The size and layout accommodated our family perfectly. The Home is conveniently located to stores yet peacefully remote as well. These wonderful hosts and their welcoming home far exceeded our expectations! Thank you! ##### Theresa K.

Boulderbelle Retreat was perfect for our party of 8\. We were celebrating my Dad’s 80th birthday and wanted enough room for all of us to spread out while still being close to downtown Duluth and the Shore. This is a difficult ask in Duluth in the summer but Boulderbelle was it! Well stocked with everything for 3 days of entertaining. Great outdoor spaces and the hot tub and fireplace were a huge plus. Easy access to food/drink/groceries, etc. Kate’s communication was fantastic. Highly recommended hidden gem! ##### Jason G.

The location was ideal for us. Close to the wedding venue and to Duluth. The home was large, spacious, cozy and inviting. I appreciated how clean it was. The large bedrooms and bathrooms allowed us plenty of space for my family. We really loved the open floor plan of the kitchen, dining and living area -allowing the adults and grandchildren space to visit and play. Kate was very kind with her communications and feedback. Thank you Kate and Ryan for the oppertunity to stay at your lovely Boulderbelle Retreat. We would love to come back and enjoy your home and all that the North Shore has to offer. ##### Jodi W.

The high top table by the kitchen was great for prep and quick bites while the larger dining room table was very comfortable for meals and board games. The bathrooms were super clean and the laundry room had a modern and large washer and dryer. Sitting around the fire pit and night you could see the stars and woods but it was far enough from trees and leaves to feel very safe having a fire. The citronella candles were a welcome touch. It was comfortable and quiet yet close to Hermantown amenities. Any questions or problems that arose were IMMEDIATELY taken care of. Thank you so much for that. ##### Nancy N.
