Girls weekend

We had a great time showing out of state visitors around the Duluth, Lake Superior area. It was wonderful to have a clean and comfy spot to land, chat and sleep at the end of a day of adventures. Thank you.

The fireplace was nice and warm while we all gathered together watching Christmas movies in the living room. The host was amazing and there for us if we had any questions or needs. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is a very nice size. Lots of room for everyone to gather or sit somewhere quiet and read a book. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more! Plenty of parking. It was very convenient to have a Country store right next to us. The bedrooms are nice sizes also.We would definitely stay here again.

Ivy Black Groom's Family Headquarters

Rustic was the perfect location and size for the groom's family's 4-night stay. We were able to host our in-laws for a meal and store wedding decorations and suits in the office for the big day! The comfortable king-size beds provided much-needed rest. The living room was cozy with the fire yet large enough to finish last-minute decorations/planning. We loved the Christmas tree giving us the cheer of the holiday season :)

Nice home, newly renovated

We stayed here as it was close to Black Ivy wedding venue. The home is newly renovated, really clean and well stocked with any amenity you could need. The only thing that took us by surprise was that it is located at a gas station. We were not expecting it when our GPS had said we arrived. Though we always knew when we were getting close as we would follow the gas station signs. A perk was buy one get one ice cream coupons the owners provided us with.

I just want to clarify for future renters, we are located *Next to a gas station*. We do plan to put up a fence up in the front in the near future. The back yard is very secluded.
