Weekend in Duluth
My three sisters and I rented Eve's home for a weekend. We loved the house. It was very comfortable. She gave us a tour of the house and gave us plenty of suggestions of what to do during our visit. I would recommend Eve's house to anyone visiting Duluth.
We loved our time in Duluth. Great town for hiking, exploring and relaxing
We had 3 long time friends getting together for a reunion weekend. This house was perfect for us. Good location, cute, a little “funky”, quiet and safe. We loved it
Great Location in Duluth
This house had all the amenities that we could want and more than other places we have stayed. Great location and easy to navigate around Duluth. We will definitely use this place again for our next trip to Duluth! Eve and Wayne were more than accommodating.
The family enjoyed the property thoroughly.
Our stay at the East Hillside property was enjoyable. There was ample room and everything was provided. We used the property as a meeting place for the family who attended our son's graduation from the University of MN Duluth. The property met our needs.
Weekend get away
Very clean, and lots of space
Just as described!
Great people with a great property!
