Why the Owner Chose Duluth
The beach is like nothing else in this part of the country, it's like being at the ocean. The water is warm enough to swim in, you can walk forever, and the infamous MN mosquito's are practically non existent because of the breezes off the lake. It's certainly a bonus to be a 15 minute walk down the beach to Canal Park or a short drive to the North Shore of Lake Superior.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The fire pit in the yard, the ability to spend time with family and friends yet not be right on top of each other because of the separate house and cottage. Certainly the beach!
Owner's Map of Duluth
We are a Twin Cities architect and artist who are always thrilled to spend time in Duluth. The House and Cottage on Park Point is our little place away from home to do that. We have enjoyed remodeling and updating the house and cottage and turning it into a comfortable home away from home. It's given us the opportunity to do something a little different that we can share with everyone else.

Fabulous two days. Best family vacation ever. Two buildings allow flexibility for day naps and for those who do not snooze. My family barely left the house, it was so comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Glorious kitchen with upscale stove and sink. House was beautiful Bathroom in the house had wonderful tub and stonework. The cabin felt like a family cabin that you are coming back year after year. Beds were very comfortable. Nice sized yard. We walked to Canal Park and to the lift bridge to see the ships arriving. We swam 3 times a day. Only a short walk though the dunes to a beautiful, clean beach. I miss it already.

My sisters, a sister-in-law and our grownup daughters spent the weekend at this house and cottage. The property had everything we needed and was spacious and very clean. We enjoyed the private yard and firepit and spent some time on the beautiful sandy beach with a view of the city. (It was especially beautiful at night to see the lights of Duluth.) The house is just a short drive or walk to the shops and restaurants in Canal Park. The owner was very helpful and quick with answers to my questions. I would recommend this property to other girls on a getaway weekend or families looking for a place to stay in Duluth.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We had two families plus Grandma staying in the house and cottage. Had a great time! Very clean and spacious. Kitchen was well-appointed. Very handy having laundry on-site! A good hike over the dunes and we were right on Lake Superior. Easy access to Canal Park. House is clean, cozy, with wonderful eclectic decor. Beds were comfortable. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
Owner response:Thank you Margaret for your warm comments your family is certainly welcome to stay again!

We spent 3 nights at this charming beach house and cottage with 10 family members from 3 generations. Grandpa Ron's 70th birthday celebration, and we could not have picked a better place!!!Amazing sandy beach, house is very clean, beautiful decor & artwork, full kitchen (everything you need), games & puzzles, great location (very close to canal park, but far enough away to feel relaxed and at home)! You will just LOVE it!!! Our girls (ages 4 & 7) cannot wait to go back!!! And while you are there... you MUST have dinner at the New Scenic Cafe! It is a 20 min drive up the Northshore... well worth the trip!!!

My Wife and I stayed with 2 of our extended family members at this enchanting home! First, the setting reminded me of NE coastal homes with the spacious lots, private sand dunes and wooded waterfront lots. I stay in Duluth often for work in the Canal Park area, yet found myself feeling I was far away from any tourist vibe. At the same time, we enjoyed (a few times) the 15 minute beautiful walk along the Lake Superior coast to the Canal Park attractions. The house and cottage had an "I belong here" feel. It was a clean, well cared for home, with unique and interesting spaces, furnishing and decorating! But you didn't feel like you had to worry about the kids breaking something every second. The owners even had a variety of board games, reading materials and barbecue/firepit supplies. It provided a great mix of intimate spaces and areas to gather! As I write this, I can't wait to go back!! One tip...the house is easy to drive past the first time, so watch the house numbers. The owners are really great to work with and were available to answer specific questions and requests.

We just returned from a week long stay at your house and cottage with our extended family of 13. We had a wonderful time on the beach, around the firepit, enjoying the sites, and playing games at the house on a rainy day. The location is great and the house accommodates us well. Thanks again! We'll be back next year!

What a great location! Just a few blocks from Canal Park and a short walk to the beach. The house and cottage worked well for all 14 of us! We'll be back again and I'm recommending it to friends!

This is a fantastic location, only a few blocks from down town. We enjoyed every bit of the house and the cottage. This place is great for larger crowds. The house had everything we needed. We Will always recommend this place to anyone. The owner was very helpful.

We had a bachelorette party at this cabin in August and had a wonderful time. The cabin is clean, well cared for, and is a great space for large groups! Will be keeping this cabin in mind for future get aways!

We had a family reunion in early August with 11 people and the Park Point Cottage and guest homes were just great. Very clean and great location. The beach is a short walk through the dunes, reminds me east coast beaches. Fully stocked with everything you would need including firewood. Great place to stay in the Duluth area, we will be back.
