We had a great time with our adult kids at this home away from home. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make a meal or hang out. Extra touches like firestarters and color additives for the bon fire was so fun! Walked to Agate Bay and enjoyed the museum and hunting for agates. Golf was very close too. Relaxing even with the creaking floors which were fun! Would stay again!

Cute house in two harbors

Very nice quaint historic home in downtown Two Harbors. Location is fantastic as you can walk to lighthouse and downtown restaurants but also access north shore activities. The owners provide extra little touches that make it stand out from normal rental: coffee, tea and hot chocolate, snacks, nice toilet paper! Overall a fabulous place.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Harbor House! Anna is a very thoughtful host and took extra care of us while we were hit with a blizzard! Not only she arranged for daily snow removal, she checked in on us regularly to make us feel comfortable as we were waiting out the storm. We ended up extending our trip and Anna accommodated us without any issues. Beautiful house, neat town. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Anna Polley

Host profile image
Hi there! Born and raised in Russia, I have been enjoying life in the Midwest since 2001. Having learned about the Lake Superior all the way across the world, it was simply surreal to move to Minnesota and to visit it in person. Fast forward many years, not only do we get to visit Lake Superior more often, we get to share this historic home with fellow travelers. We hope you enjoy it!

Why they chose this property

Two Harbors is an amazingly convenient cute small town! When visiting, you can spend the day exploring town or drive up the shore to the beautiful state parks rich with waterfalls, lakeview and deep forests. One cannot find a better place to decompress from the busy life and re-connect with nature.

What makes this property unique

Harbor House is a cozy home, filled with light and cozy atmosphere, in close proximity to the magnificent Lake Superior . You can feel the presence of the past in small details of the home and yet enjoy the modern amenities that we are used to these days.
