Wonderful Home Base for Duluth Activities

Beautiful home, well-stocked kitchen and baths, cozy living space, and fun entertainment options. We felt at home immediately and we are already planning our return trip. The open floor plan worked well for our family member who uses mobility aids. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Beautiful home

This home is AMAZING! Beautifully decorated, clean, updated, and perfect for a family stay. The bonus game room was perfect for the teenagers and we all had plenty of space and bathrooms to be really comfortable. We didn't use the sauna but it was like a picture from a magazine! It was so cute and cozy. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely home as pictured. It was really easy to get to. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of room. Our party had 6 adults and 2 teenagers. The teens loved the game room - kept the grandparents busy too! Will definitely stay again the next time we are in the area.

Wonderful Retreat

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The house was immaculate and well stocked. The location is private and very quiet. We especially loved the large kitchen and master bath. The game room was phenomenal and would be perfect for family/group gatherings of all ages. Mark and Jamie were great with communicating and the check-in/out was a breeze. We look forward to staying again in the future. Thanks for letting us stay at your amazing house!
