About this property
Hawthorne Manor- Perfect Duluth Location! Amazing historic home.
THE CITY OF DULUTH REQUIRES ALL VRBOs IN DULUTH TO HAVE A PERMIT. THE HAWTHORNE MANOR HAS A PERMIT PLIUP 2502-0007. Ask for a permit number, if a VRBO in Duluth doesn't have one, find an authorized rental for your our protection. We are also inspected and approved by the Health and the Fire Departments. Amazing housekeeping team! Check the reviews for all the "very clean house" comments.
Fantastic Location. Prestigious area. Huge tree filled yard bordering creek and waterfalls. This home is special. It has beautiful woodwork, 4 usable fireplaces, and tons of character. Views of Lake Superior from several rooms. The kitchen has been update with cherry cabinets and granite counters and stone flooring. There are several sitting areas to enjoy the view with a cup of coffee or to break away into a smaller group.
Although the home is large enough to host a large family gathering, the home maintains a cozy atmosphere perfect for romantic getaways, or smaller groups. There is a large deck nestled in the trees with table, chairs and BBQ grill. It has the convenience of being in town but with the feel of being in the country. Wander through the wooded yard to the adjacent park and hike along the creek and water falls.
Features: Cable TV, WIFI, washer/ dryer, Fitness/exercise room with treadmill and a weight machine. Patio furniture (seasonal), Play all your favorites on the baby grand piano in the living room. 2 night possible depending on schedule - The home in its self is a vacation get away, at a convenient location to all that Duluth has to offer.
Family Room - Kick back at the end of the day on the leather sectional with two reclining seats and watch a movie on the big 50 inch screen TV, located in the lower level family room with a fireplace. This room also has a counter height table and 4 chairs. DVDs, games, toys.
NOT A 'PARTY HOUSE'
Gentlemen...does she keep telling you to come up with something for your anniversary, or her birthday, Guys! Call me...I can help you plan something that will have her marveling at your thoughtfulness and bragging to her friends. You can do it, I can help. Call. Theresa at 218-310-4721
This home is not rented as a 'party house'. There are guest limits. Suited for responsible groups, families, church groups, ladies retreats, or scrap booking party, Birthdays, and nature lovers. Celebrate mom and dads 50 anniversary with a family getaway, Business trip?... Bring the whole family. Just minutes from local hospitals - Extend your stay in comfort while visiting loved ones, or have peace and quiet while you recover from illness or loss. Is your house is too small for all the kids to come home? Gather all your adult children and their growing families and enjoy a holiday or anytime in this home away from home.
Enjoy family time with the little ones or teens, cooking together in the fully equipped kitchen, going hiking, water rafting, rock climbing, skiing, shopping, kayaking, fishing and exploring all that the Duluth area has to offer. This house allows you to be creative. Don't hesitate to call with questions.
The adventure is right in your own back yard!: This home offers so much history and comfort, while still providing an outdoor adventure. The yard is a 1/2 city block with an array of trees and plant life. Deer are often seen walking through to nibble on the apple trees and occasional a friendly fox pounces around. It may be rare, but you may even sight a curios black bear.
The yard boarders on a creek with lovely waters falls, paths, bridge and a occasional bench to sit on and just take it all in. In the winter this area is breathtaking. Large sheets of frozen water cling to the cliff walls, the air is crisp and fresh. The paths are always used, but not over used. Just perfect.

About the host
Hosted by Theresa H. - Owner/Manager
I have been sharing the Hawthorne Manor since 2011 and absolutely love it. We lived here prior to offering the home to others as a vacation home, and have had so many great gatherings of friends and family members over the years. There is just something special about this home. I am thrilled to have so many repeat guests. It means a lot to me that the home will meet their expectations.

What makes this property unique
What does the Hawthorne have that other rentals in Duluth don't have? Besides an amazing housekeeping team...1. Location - convenient, just a few miles from canal park, a mile from golf course, and down town...very safe and desirable neighborhood with large prestigious homes. 2.Yard - 1/2 city block, trees, privacy, and bordering an amazing park with creek and falls. Large 25x25 deck, grill and patio furniture nestled in the trees 3. Size- large enough for multiple families and space for all, yet comfortable enough for smaller groups as well. We have had several couples celebrate their anniversaries...husbands wowing their wives in a big way. 4. Parking- Private driveway holds up to 7 cars plus one in the garage. 5. Details - fireplaces, baby grand piano, pack and play crib, BBQ grill, updates through out, weight room, interesting history to the home, clean and comfortable. We understand how important your time is. Whether your planning a work meeting, or precious time with family, we strive to provide the best value and experience possible. You work hard for your money, and your time is valuable. Helping you make your plans a success and a warm happy memory is very important to us.
