Charming home to enjoy Two Harbors. Family loved staying here. Interesting to read about the history of the home. It's beautiful with lots of character and charm, but despite the age has great amenities. The deck(s) were pleasant places to sip coffee and enjoy the evening. Great location, just a few minutes walk to trails, shore, restaurants, and shopping.

This historic home was the perfect place to stay during our family vacation to the North Shore of Lake Superior! It was clean, spacious, and had a little somethimg for everyone in our family, including a piano, board games, and a front porch swing. It was the perfect location for exploring Two Harbors and other beautiful locations along the North Shore, and it was so nice to return to this home base after a day of adventuring. Nadine is a thoughtful and attentive hostess. Highly recommend!

Love this house!

We had the best time in this beautiful old house! It is in such great shape and gave easy access to lots of great hikes on the north shore. We also loved being able to walk down to the water and the brewery. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyable stay

The house is very well maintained. Be aware there is a full bathroom upstairs plus a stool in the basement. It worked fine for the 8 of us with getting a routine down. That may be a little hairy for some people. Otherwise, it had a spacious dining room for eating and games. It made for an enjoyable stay.

Two Harbors Snowmobile trip

Nadine and Jayme were awesome to work with. We were able to leave our snowmobiles and trailers at there property which was super nice since we coudn't leave them in town. The house was spectacular and had everything that we needed. Nadine answered any questions that we had from when we first started looking for a spot to stay, and up until the very end when we left. We would defiantly stay here again!

Charming and cozy historic stay

Excellent property in quaint location, close to shops and restaurants, and brimming with wildlife. Cozy home with lots of room and plenty of amenities. Home was clean, neat and well stocked with essentials. Just over an hour to Lutsen where we enjoyed two full days of skiing. Thank you for the complimentary coffee/tea/hot cocoa and the welcome basket. House was decorated for he holidays and made our stay between Christmas and New Years special. Don’t miss Do North pizza in town - delicious! Thank you for the hospitality - we look forward to another stay

Historic Getaway!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful historical home! Plenty of space for each of us to relax. Our son, who loves to write, spent a bit of time putting the roll top desk upstairs to use. The amenities were easily accessible and the home was sparkling clean. Above all, Nadine was a gracious host, providing plenty of info in the description and in reaching out to us with more details, as we got closer to our visit. She made herself readily available, should we need anything, and welcomed us with a fun basket of "treats" and a note waiting for us when we arrived. The only disappointment for us was that we didn't have the time for a longer stay. Maybe on our next visit! :)
