Great space and very clean. Easy parking and check-in. The view of the lake from inside is beautiful, even in the winter! We didn't get to use the patio due to the January weather, but we would definitely stay here again.

All was terrific and as advertised! One suggestion: Paint the Gales sidewalk’s one step either yellow or red or anything other than white. White was tough to see in snow, even after we shoveled the walk.

We were very impressed by how well the units were stocked. Every conceivable pot, pan and utensil was available for our use. The unit was very clean and the locations was perfect! Convenience to the grocery store was amazing. We didn't utilize them, but there were two kayaks available for guest use. We did use the lakeside fire pit as well as the propane heater on the porch. You could probably find a less expensive VRBO listing, but you would be hard pressed to find a better unit. I give this property my highest recommendation.

Sometimes when you book a VRBO, the pictures sure look better than the actual place. Not the case here! This place was SO amazing!!

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!
