Fabulous place. We would definitely stay here again. Tabitha was wonderful to deal with & very responsive to any questions we had. Even when we had to change our dates of travel, she worked with us. The home was in a beautiful location, very clean, and they offer anything & everything you could possibly need while staying there. The view was awesome as well, it was a great stay.

The three of us always plan a trip during MLK holiday. It was perfect for us. We each had our own bedroom, a comfortable table for playing cards, a kitchen with all the amenities and a comfortable living room to watch TV. Thanks for the beautiful place to get together!

Beautiful

A lot of thoughtful attention clearly went into designing and furnishing this lovely property, and it's obvious that the hosts prioritize ease and comfort for guests. It's cozy, quiet, and restful. The rooms and kitchen are well provided -- far more than everything we needed. And the light! The view out of all the big windows overlooking the lake was fabulous. It was unfortunately a bit too cold for us to take full advantage of the outdoor area; in warmer weather, we absolutely would have enjoyed the patio and a fire.

Spectacular View on Lake Superior

The location was superb, the proximity to get to everything was spot-on. The cleanliness and updated amenities and bathrooms were appreciated. The towels and bedding and beds were clean and comfortable for a 4-night stay. We used the dishes to make meals and loved the ice-maker in the fridge. Definitely felt like enough room for the 4 of us in that space and close to everything we experienced in and near Duluth. The only suggestion I would have is to get a different/bigger couch in the main living area, that one was smaller than a futon and uncomfortable for a full grown adult. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Would love to stay again someday!
