Needs some work
It isn't terrible, but it isn't a 5. The two most concerning things were their posted Duluth rental license was 8 months out of date and the top step down to the apartment was falling apart.

Beautiful stay
I loved the easy entry to the property. Using a number I know instead of something I would need to remember makes it a breeze. The amenities were great. Very clean. The rug in front of the main door kept getting caught under the door because of the fluffy carpet which was inconvenient so I moved it. I would stay here again and recommend it to others!

Very nice stay
Great accommodations, comfortable and cozy. Nice lake view, easy lake access by foot or car. Love the location, between Duluth and Two Harbors with a short drive to either and easy drive to all points North Shore. We had too much stuff as this was the third leg of a ten day trip. In future I'd pack lighter for easier load in/out on the stairs, otherwise no worries. Would love to return, wonderful experience
