College Graduation
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay while we came up north for our daughter’s graduation. Super quiet and private spot.

Exactly what we wanted
This is a great place that has convenient access to all of the amenities you need for a VRBO. It's easy to get into Duluth proper, while having a back yard that feels quite and isolated. It was exactly what we wanted and we had a great time.

Beautiful stay
We had an amazing stay at the Lester retreat! It is perfectly located near the town but far enough away to feel situated in wilderness. We were especially thankful for the large backyard and activities for our kids to run and play. Hot tub was an added bonus. We were pleasantly surprised to have two bathrooms at the property. Check in process was a breeze and the property managers were very communicative and helpful throughout our stay.

Trampled by Balners
In Duluth for Trampled by Turtles. First friend vacation. All 9 of us fit comfortably. We were pleasantly surprised to find a second bathroom. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!
