Train car was adorable, with fun and unique details. Check in and out was easy. Very close to the beach, which was a huge hit with our family. If you have small kids, be aware that there is an open access utility area (just behind a curtain). If your kids are older, they are going to adore the bedrooms.

House is super cute! There is an upstairs with a big bed and plenty of room for baby crib if you needed. Kitchen was stocked. Beds were clean. Only downfall was spiders, it’ must be spider time in Duluth but thankfully my husband was there as I couldn’t get into the property there was so many huge ones. Didn’t find too many in the house. But we would def stay here again in the summer months as it seems it’s close to water so could go exploring. Walking to the pier was a breeze too.
