Wonderful stay! We brought our two dogs - one that recently had ACL surgery and needed no stairs. Our friends stayed in the main house and us in the cabin. Great location for beach time and dog walks. We had all we needed and loved the decor!

We loved the house and location, and had a great time. We were a group of seven women in Duluth for a convention and wished we could have had more time to enjoy the house and fire pit and beach, and were very happy we stayed where we did. Having the parking on the street was very convenient as we had to arrive at different times and had 5 cars there, but it wasn't a problem. They allow pets, and we didn't bring any, but I was happy to notice that it was not obvious that pets had been there. My allergies maybe kicked in a little at times, but not like they usually do in a pet house, so that was good. We would be happy to stay there again! Thank you for the great stay!!

We were looking for a place to stay while on spring break visiting our daughter at college. This worked out great! The cottage was very cute and had plenty of space between the two houses. Our favorite was the beach where we waked with our dog each day and the kids went to find dinosaur bones. Even though it was still cold, it was a wonderful time to stay on the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Michels

Host profile image
We are a Twin Cities architect and artist who are always thrilled to spend family 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 with a relaxing livable atmosphere. It's given us the opportunity to do something a little different that we can share with everyone else.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

We are just a bit unique in that there are two units we rent together. Put the kids in one or even grandma if she prefers to have her own quarters. Sometimes it's just a fight to see who gets the cottage!

And of course the location- beach, Canal Park, Lake Superior, the North Shore, restaurants...!
