Our family had a wonderful stay at the Duluth home for our Christmas vacation! Morgan was a very responsive, kind and helpful host, and the home was set up with everything we needed. My Florida kids had their first real snow experience, and were thrilled to play in the huge yard, watch a family of deer right outside, and roast marshmallows by the fire pit. It feels very private, while still being within 20 minutes of downtown. The views and overlooks off North Shore drive are stunning. Would definitely recommend!

Very relaxing and comfortable place to stay. The host was very easy to communicate with and helpful. We came as our bible study and were able to not only enjoy r&r but grow in our bonds. The fireplace was cozy and the kitchen was the best stocked Ive ever been in. Very quite beautiful location, we had some deer joining us one morning for breakfast. Will look to come back again and recommend to my family.

Plenty of beds for all of us and very easy to work with and communicate with the owner. Only suggestion would be to have staples in the kitchen (towels/rags, ziplock baggies, etc) but otherwise it was a perfect space!

We loved this property during our weekend visit! The host was extremely communicative and made sure the process was easy and straightforward. The amenities were great and all of the outdoor areas were nice for a fall weekend up north. I didn’t personally stay in the master bedroom, but our friends who did said they found a lot of hair on the sheets. Other than that, everything was perfect! We would definitely stay again.

This was a wonderful home for our family of seven to stay while we explored Duluth and the North Shore! There was plenty of room to spread out, and the basement was the perfect hangout area for our young adult kids. We loved the sauna, fireplace, and outdoor propane fire table. The location is secluded, yet conveniently located for driving to the many beautiful destinations such as Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock, Tettegouche, Park Point, etc. This was actually our second stay at this VRBO, and we’d love to come back again!
