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!
Family vacation with littles and adults. Great space and everything is set-up very nicely. Would love to come back for the winter as it's located perfectly for Spirit Mountain fun!
We hosted our entire family for a college graduation weekend. Everything exceeded our expectations and it made for a perfect memorable weekend!Everything was well supplied. We would love to go back to enjoy the outdoor activities available nearby!
Our book club rented the house for a retreat weekend. It was a beautiful home with plenty of space for 9 women to relax and recharge. The location is conveniently located near a couple of trails for walking or biking and the awesome Burnett Dairy store is a few blocks away.
We stayed in this property for a family reunion. The house is beautiful and very well equipped. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out and not feel cramped. Nicely located by the trail and very pet friendly. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent again.
We loved our stay at The Ski house! It was the perfect space for our family of eight adults. It was clean, well-appointed, and the property manager was fabulously responsive to any/all questions! Highly recommend! Hope to return!
This rental property suited our family well. Merissa communicated well and timely. The furnishings were lovely and it was well equipped and supplied for everything we needed. We enjoyed our family getaway here! Thank you, Merissa!
The house was spacious and had awesome views. It was clean and ready when we arrived. The check in process was easy and host had great communication. Discounted Spirit lift tickets and the sauna were a great bonus! We will likely be back!
This place is absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for our large group of friends celebrating a milestone birthday. Everything is beautifully decorated and every amenity was thought of. The common areas had plenty of space for all 10 adults to hang out and enjoy each other's company. Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. Great communication, will absolutely consider staying here again!
Beautiful home! Well stocked with necessities! The owner came and met us on the first day and suggested some places to eat. He was super nice. We had a great time!
Our family stayed at river west for a long weekend and the place was awesome. There was plenty of room for everyone and it was stocked with everything you would need. We were all very impressed. Melissa was very helpful and responded to my questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.
This home appears to be brand new. Beautifully decorated, located close to the base of Spirit Mountain. You can see the slopes from the windows. We were two families with 3 teens, and the four bedrooms provided lots of space. We also enjoyed the sauna!
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!
This place is gorgeous. Lots of room. Great layout. Beds and bedrooms were great. Really a wonderful place!
The only negative, the garage was too small to hold two of our vehicles. We easily found street parking for all our vehicles, so not that big of a negative.
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.
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.
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!
Modern new 3 story home with a view of Spirit Mountain off one deck and the St. Louis river off the other. Two master bedrooms with private bathrooms. Two additional bedrooms that share a bath. Smart TVs in all bedrooms Laundry off the half bath on main floor and full bath on second floor. Large kitchen island with lots of seating, and a large living/dining area as well. Open concept. Well supplied kitchen including double ovens which allowed plenty of room for our Thanksgiving turkey and other fixings! Even has a heated garage.
15 minute drive to all the fun of downtown Duluth. Half a block from a beautiful, paved hiking walking trail and the Grand Ave entrance to Spirit Mountain. appreciated having our furry family members with us as well. We will definitely stay here again!
