Our family had a great time staying at your property for the weekend! Conveniently close to Duluth for quick trips in to do sightseeing, shopping, etc. Loved the pool table and gaming system for the cold weekend we had. Wish the downstairs heat would have worked so those staying downstairs had a bit of a chilly stay. All and all a great stay.

Great Home in the Woods!

This property was secluded, modern, updated, clean and had many amenities including modern appliances, a pool table, great deck with fire table, where we watched deer feeding in the woods with our morning coffee. We were a group of twelve in Duluth for our youngest daughter's graduation from UMD and we had plenty of room to spread out. It checked all the boxes for us. Our host Heather was very responsive and good with communication. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a secluded, modern property.

Away from home

This rental property is bit far away from actual Duluth but having big lot and surrounded by lot is trees was nice. This house has good layout and bedrooms are good size. Overall this was great property and we had great time. Only thing was concerning was there was pet hair all over floor, carpet, and bedroom blanket when we arrived.
