This house was exactly as described. The two bedrooms upstairs have a little bit of a steep stairway so wouldn’t be great for someone with mobility issues. The one bathroom is on the main floor of the house. All of the beds were very comfortable and the location is very central in Duluth.

Very close to everything we wanted to see. I was glad we could park right behind the house. The backyard area is a nice private hangout space. It was convenient to have spices in the kitchen.

Great weekend getaway

My family of 6 stayed for 2 nights at this charming house. The owner stayed in the basement the first night, and we enjoyed getting to know a little more about her and the area. Definitely would stay again.

Great place to stay

Great location. It felt very homey and had a lot of extras in the kitchen that would have been great if we would have stayed longer. We didn’t realize the owner lived downstairs, though that wasn’t really an issue; just unexpected. Overall a great stay.

I loved everything except the beds. The mattresses felt flimsy and had a scary lack of edge support. Like, if you try to sit on the side of the bed, you might fall off if you don't expect it. I ended up sleeping on the couch the second night, which was decent by comparison. Otherwise this is a great place to stay. Cute house, homey decor, very well-stocked kitchen, nice shower, a/c in the bedrooms, awesome location, no hassle check in or out.Higher quality mattresses would make this a 5 star stay.Still highly recommended.

Relaxing stay!

Really enjoyed staying in this historic property! Close access to everything. Could get pretty much everywhere on foot or a short drive. Great time of year to be up on the Shore as well! Prompt communications with the host throughout our stay.
