Holiday Family Gathering

We enjoyed time spent in Duluth area visiting family. The Lake made us feel as if we were up the North Shore yet still in the city and able to run to a grocery store or establishments close by. Spent time in a beautiful home playing board games and using the sauna. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Awesome place.

Very cozy, beautiful lake views

We stayed here with our 2, 7, and 10 year-old kids. We basically lived in the back room with the cozy fireplace and incredible Lake Superior views! We took advantage of the grill for cooking dinner, and were able to get the sauna heated up with ease. Almost every night was spent at the dining room table playing a game from the game cabinet! Overall, a fantastic place for my family to unwind and enjoy the lake!

Stylish and comfortable house, gorgeously furnished on the shore of Lake Superior

This is one of the most beautiful vacation rental properties we have ever stayed in. Wonderful amenities and great location an easy walk from Superior Brewery and an easy drive from Glensheen Mansion. If you are lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday evening during the summer go check out the free live music on the grounds of Glensheen. We had a great meal Superior Brewery. Loved our stay!
