Great place to stay

Great location. It felt very homey and had a lot of extras in the kitchen that would have been great if we would have stayed longer. We didn’t realize the owner lived downstairs, though that wasn’t really an issue; just unexpected. Overall a great stay.

Relaxing stay!

Really enjoyed staying in this historic property! Close access to everything. Could get pretty much everywhere on foot or a short drive. Great time of year to be up on the Shore as well! Prompt communications with the host throughout our stay.

Cute, clean, & comfy home

Without construction, the location of the house is very accessible. The house itself had so much charm and character, very clean and quiet too. I'm looking forward to returning for a longer stay!

We had a great trip to Duluth. The Host was kind and very accommodating. The house had a cute set up and was clean when we arrived. One of the best features was the outdoor patio where we enjoyed two of our evenings. Thank you to the host for everything Thank

Great house!

The house is super cute and has tons of character--the backyard and garden are great, too. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds comfy and the kids enjoyed Netflix during the rain. There's so much within walking distance and getting in and out by car was fine (a bit more complicated with construction, but not a big deal), and the Positively 3rd Street Bakery a few blocks away is amazing and the Chester Creek area was lovely for a little light hiking.

Great spot

We had a great time staying here! The house was very clean, had everything we could need, and we loved all the handmade pottery and all the houseplants around. It gave it such a fun vibe. We were surprised to learn the owner was staying in the basement unit, it seemed that should have been mentioned in the listing. But the place was great, we played quite a bit of cribbage and board games around the table, the outdoor patio area seemed like it'd be really nice for the summer, and the location was great for all the local spots we wanted to check out.

Cozy home base

We had the things we needed in the house and it was comfortable but did not realize the owner was going to be in a separate basement apartment while we were there. It wasn't a problem, just unexpected.

Cute place close to Lake Superior

The living room is really comfortable and has little fold out tables if you decide to eat and watch tv. Big dining table, full kitchen. It is a really old home with a lot of charm. I loved all the little rabbit and the black and gray squirrels that come out every morning (I’m sure less likely to see them in the middle of winter. The owner is very responsive and nice. We didn’t hear anything from her except when we needed another key. Has a nice little deck and garden in the back. Good place because it encourages hanging out together downstairs. Definitely recommend.

Lovely cozy home with character!

The living room is really cozy and has a smart tv. It has a full kitchen with an island and Tupperware for any leftovers you want to keep in the full size fridge. This is actually my second time staying here. The host cleared the back entry porch and sidewalk when it snowed. It was a great place to stay. I can only speak for the winter spring time, but you can see Lake Superior from the upper bedroom and a little bit from the porch, and living room. They have some games and I believe a puzzle or two. Also there is a table runner you or the kids can color with the markers provided! :) I liked all the plants as well. Centrally located if you want to go downtown or up 61 to see water falls. Hospital is nearby if you are there to work at the hospital.

Close to downtown!

Communication with owner was great, we asked for Iron, she brought us iron, I asked for a bike lock she brought me a bike lock. That was very nice of her. I believe she does live below the rental. We were there on a VERY hot weekend. Temps were >90 degrees everyday. This home has AC window units in 2 of the 3 bedrooms so one room was left without AC which was warm. Everything else was as advertised and if you plan on being out and about in Duluth this would be a good place to stay.

Lovely house

We loved the house, but we probably won’t stay there again. The house was super cute and has everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We loved the outdoor space and The bathroom seemed clean and updated. There are two rooms upstairs and one on the main level which with younger kids didn’t work that great for us. The stairs are very steep and the bathroom is on the main level. But the rooms were nice and had everything we needed. One downfall what that there seemed to be someone who lived in the basement. We think this because we heard music coming from the vents all day. It wasn’t too loud-but it was there. I guess we weren’t aware that anyone else was in the house. And even though they were separate we felt awkward and like we needed to be quieter than we would have felt in the house by ourselves. Overall the house and location were great!
