    The space
    The Ski House stands out as a premier vacation rental within the River West Development, renowned for its charm and the loyalty of returning guests. This inviting home is enhanced by thoughtful, unique decorations that reflect the area's thrilling outdoor adventures, particularly its Nordic and downhill skiing.

    Guests are treated to exceptional in-house cleaning services, ensuring a pristine environment to relax and unwind after a day on the slopes. The heart of the home features a spacious family room, perfect for gathering together, whether for cozy evenings by the fire or lively game nights. The expansive kitchen is a culinary haven, designed for entertaining, complete with ample space for preparing and enjoying meals with friends and family.

    One of the standout features of the Ski House is its 8-person sauna —an oasis of relaxation that offers a perfect way to soothe tired muscles after a day in the snow. Additionally, this property offers the rare advantage of two sets of washers and dryers, a convenient feature that guests appreciate immensely after long, wet days outdoors. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a welcoming, comfortable retreat for all who stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was well stocked with kitchen items and made our day of cooking and dinner easy! The lower level was a bit chilly, and maybe that’s because we couldn’t fully figure out the thermostat. But having the wall fireplace was perfect!

Great place for a girlfriend retreat!

Work trip

We had a convention at the DECC for work and needed a nice place to stay where we could relax and spend time together away from work. We found that here! Very good use of space for the footprint of the house and stocked like you would expect a house to be. Everyone in the group was very happy with their stay. I will most likely stay here again if I have the opportunity. I highly recommend this property!

Girls weekend

This house was perfect for a girls weekend trip! It was so easy to get to Duluth. The open floor plan and multiple seating options made it easy for the eight of us to hang out and play games at the end of the night. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place in Duluth. The only downside is all of the stairs getting up to the bedrooms. It would be a challenge to stay here will older family members.

What’s not to love!?!

This house was so beautiful and even tastefully decorated for Christmas. 🎄❤️ Our family was able to comfortably gather, watch football, make holiday cocktail/mocktails, wear matching Christmas pj’s, and play games. This house provided everything you could possibly need. When we arrived, the beds all had a welcoming little stack of towels, makeup wipes, and toothbrush kits. Definitely a five star rental. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to come back again and again.

Family getaway

This space was PERFECT for our family! Everyone had their own privacy, yet we could all gather together on the main floor. There were a lot of amenities provided for us as well. We LOVED the sauna. What a cool idea! We really want to come back in the winter! The only negatives were that there wasn’t any blinds on the main floor so everyone could look in, one of the showers wasn’t clean, and there were dead flies scattered in places. Other then that, we LOVE this place! Thank you!
