Overview
Newly Built Suite In A Beautiful "Lighthouse" Building Near Lake Superior
The North Shore Lighthouse Suites are completely finished. The building was a copy of a lighthouse in Copper Harbor Michigan. Prior to our purchase of the property, in the fall of 2014, the building served as a quaint nautical themed restaurant.

♦ ♦ We now have an outdoor sauna....one for each suite. Pictures coming soon ♦ ♦
It has now become two very spacious living quarters with all the comforts of home and more. Each unit has been named after two infamous Lake Superior Ships, the Fitzgerald and the Anderson. Each suite offers large master bedrooms with spacious bathrooms, including whirlpool tubs. The additional bedroom is also spacious and comfortable. The open floor plan for the kitchen and living room make it perfect for your group to unwind after a long day exploring the North Shore. Along with the cozy gas fireplaces, you will find your own large private patio. Equipped with furniture and gas grill. You will also find massive fire pits that will seat everyone in your group. No need to bring firewood, that is supplied free of charge. Need to do laundry? No problem, we have a washer and dryer conveniently located in each suite.
We can supply you maps of beautiful hiking trails with hidden waterfalls when you book with us. We are working on other "perks" as well.
As skiing season approaches we are only 3 miles from the Korkki Nordic ski area. The Errik Harju Ski trail is just north of us in Two Harbors and the Lester Park ski trail is south of us about 10 minutes. Down hill skiing is about 30 minutes away at Spirit Mountain.
Big groups or families can rent out both suites to accommodate up to 12 people!

About Kathy Kunst
We are business owners in Duluth MN. Every year we take our kids on a family vacation and rent through VRBO. We always talked about opening up a vacation rental and when the Lighthouse Restaurant was for sale we knew exactly what we wanted to do with it!
Kathy Kunst purchased this house in 2014
Why Kathy Kunst chose Minnesota
The lighthouse suites are located between Duluth and Two Harbors, 150 yards from the shores of Lake Superior. This unique building was built in 2007 as a quaint nautical themed restaurant. When the business closed it's doors we were were able to purchase it with one thing in mind, to create one of the most unique and incredible places to stay on the North Shore.
What makes this house unique
We were able to take the wide open space of the building and sculpt it into 2 spacious suites. This allow us to rent them separately or together for large groups or families.
The North Shore scenic railroad runs near the suites. On this night there were 2 trains switching direction on the track One was a sight seeing train and one was a mystery train tour. This is one as it left our area heading back to Duluth. The tracks are used for entertainment only.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(43 traveler reviews)
The property was well kept up, clean, and the owner thought of everything we needed for our stay.
My family had a great time here because the owner did so much to make sure we felt like we were at home. The house had everything you would find at home including the dishes, firewood for the fire pit, and the bug spray just in case we forgot it. The owner made the booking process easy and she included easy to follow directions for all the aspects of the house. When she found out we were bringing children she even provided a high chair, which really came in handy. Everything in the house was well taken care and my family had a great time. We would highly recommend this property to other families looking to spend some time in Duluth.
It was beautiful!
It was a great place to stay and Kathy was amazing with accommodating everything. We will definitely go back!
Great Property!
We rented both sides of the property for a family weekend. It worked great for 4 couples and 2 teenagers. The suites were well appointed. We all had a great time and were impressed with the property. It was nice to have the fire pits and saunas to use. Kathy was great to work with. We would stay here again!
Great stay, very kid friendly.
We are a family of 5 with 3 young children. This place is very kid friendly being set back from the road with a large yard and easy side entry/exit.
We will definitely stay here again.
Highly recommended.
Very clean and very well appointed.
5 of us stayed here fir a ski weekend in Duluth. King bed was ok, but mattress was worn to the point like we felt we were in 2 hammocks. Otherwise the property is very nice. We definitely would come again.
The suite was great! I would stay here again.
The suite we stayed in was great. Everything is very new and works great. Everything you could think of was available to us. Kathy was always available to us if we needed anything and made sure we had a great stay. Thank you!
Map
The lighthouse suites are located between Duluth and Two Harbors, 150 yards from the shores of Lake Superior. This unique building was built in 2007 as a quaint nautical themed restaurant. When the business closed it's doors we were were able to purchase it with one thing in mind, to create one of the most unique and incredible places to stay on the North Shore. Nestled between little Sucker and Sucker rivers, the beauty is everywhere. Just a 15 minute drive from Duluth and 10 minutes to Two Harbors. Knife River is just 4 miles from the suites. This old fishing village has the famous Russ Kendall's smoked fish house. Emily's Lighthouse restaurant and a family run candy shop that cannot be missed. There is also a marina. The McQuade safe harbor is a few miles away and has public access to Lake Superior. Tom's logging camp is a mile away. A great place to learn about the history of the lumberjacks and see some animals. A must see if you have children. The sucker river is one of the most beautiful rivers on the North Shore. It flies under the radar of visitors because it is not a state park. You'll find it a great place to explore and you might decide to jump in the many swimming holes it offers.
