Plenty of room for family and friends. 3 floors so everyone can spread out. Nice yard for kids or dog. We enjoyed the main floor cooking, doing puzzles and having puppy playtime.

Heat went out on last day. Sink and shower hot water wouldn’t shut off. Otherwise building was as described and clean. House took money off for the inconvenience and then re-charged it immediately. Had to call again to get credit reinstated. Otherwise, it would’ve been five stars

Hi Erich! Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, we truly appreciate it. I’m really glad to hear you found the space clean and as described, that means a lot to us. I also want to sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced with the heat, hot water, and especially the billing confusion. We did look into what happened, and it turns out a newer team member was a bit overzealous while processing outstanding balances and unfortunately missed the refund that had already been issued. We’ve since addressed this with her supervisor, and additional training is being put in place to ensure this is double-checked moving forward. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we got everything sorted out. We’d absolutely love the opportunity to host you again and provide the smooth, seamless stay you deserve from start to finish. Thanks again for your valuable feedback! - Paula, Heirloom Vacations

The property company did NOT give me the code to get into the property until 30 minutes after I texted them. I had to cancel my party and check into a hotel because a significant blizzard was occurring when they texted me. I sat in the driveway with my daughter for over an hour looking for the email.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2026
Hi Gail, Thank you for following up and for sharing more about your experience. I do understand how frustrating that situation must have been, especially given the weather conditions. That said, I’d like to clarify that the check-in information and access details were sent 7 days prior to arrival and again on the morning of check-in via text to the phone number provided. We also note in the confirmation email that these details will be sent at those times via SMS. The only communication we received from you was through the Vrbo messaging platform, where we responded within 30 minutes by resending the full check-in instructions again. We also made three attempts to contact you by phone—twice prior to your messages and once the following day to check in on how your stay was going. Voicemails were left during two of those three attempts. After our response to your messages on Vrbo, we did not receive any further communication indicating you were still unable to access the property. We were also not informed that you would not be staying until after the scheduled check-out date, three days later. The reservation was held and made available for your stay, and the necessary access information and support were provided. We do our best to be responsive and accessible for our guests, and had we heard back from you at the time, we would have continued working with you to resolve the issue in the moment. - Paula, Heirloom Vacations

We had a good time. The stairs were a little steep, but that is to be expected in an older house sometimes. The main floor bathroom was located through the bedroom, that was a drawback. (I may have over looked/missed that in the description.) Overall, it was a decent place for the weekend.

Long weekend away

Just wanted to get away for the weekend with our family and we enjoy the beauty of the North Shore. The home is definitely older but the spaces were well used. It was very nice to have had a large garage to park our vehicles in as it was Heritage Days in Two Harbors and it would have been hard to park if there had not been a garage.

Return to Breakwater

Property a bit rundown with minimal repairs done since our last visit. . But this was our third year coming here. Family loves the space, walk ability to Two Harbors and the pier. Easy shot up to things to do up the Shore. Problems with the AC when we first got up there (usually not an issue but hit 80 that day and couldn’t cool the house). Management was great with responding and getting things arranged to be fixed.

Two Harbors Adventure

We wanted a prime location as we made our adventure of hiking along the North Shore. The location was great. For a house 120 years old, it had character and provided what was needed. The house provided plenty of space and each had their own room. We were within walking distance of the pier, beach, and restaurants & the iconic Castle Danger brewery. Bonus was music in the park. We had a very nice time on our 3 day adventure. Lois from Delano

Grand Old House

My family spent 3 nights in the house. It was very clean and spacious. You can tell the house went through a reno and money was spent in the right places. The bedrooms and living room were very comfortable. There was enough seating and a bed for everyone. The beds were extremely comfortable. Had a little trouble with the lock and the air conditioning, but once we figured it out, all went well. Thanks for the stay.

The stairs were extremely steep for two people with injured backs and two children 3 and under. The ac didn’t work which wasn’t mentioned. The windows if they opened had to be held open with a piece of wood which is fine except most of the screens have holes in them. And the furniture was extremely uncomfortable. Beds and couches The dishwasher ran but the dishes were dirtier when it was finished somehow. I’m not normally this person but the amount of money that we spent for this stay I am just baffled and do not want anyone else to go in blind like we did. The pics and description do not show what you are getting in this case

We will work to better clarify this in our listing so future guests can make a more informed decision based on their specific needs. We strive to address any issues that arise during a guest’s stay and would have welcomed the opportunity to assist in real-time to improve your experience. That said, your detailed comments will be thoroughly reviewed by our management team, and we may reach out to gather additional insight.

Time in Two Harbors

Location was great. Having 6 bedrooms was great. Family of nine were able to walk around Two Harbors for restaurants and shopping with ease. Easy shot to head further up the shore for hiking and quiet time along Burlington beach hunting for agates. The place is still being renovated and needs a LOT of work. Didn’t expect that and how much still needed to be done. Cracked windows, ill fitted storm door that ripped into carpet in the porch, no decent outside space with seating, only seating for 6 in the dining area. Should probably had more work done before renting. But our kids and grandkids really liked having the space. Would consider it again if more has been completed.

The outside needs A lot of updating so it doesn’t look so run down. The work inside was just half done(paint tape and residue left on windows) Front storm door needs fixed and moved up so it actually opens. Really appreciated the toiletry items left in shower, beds and pillows were very comfortable! Would stay here again
