Charming Cottage! - 3 Bedrooms, 4 Beds, 2 Full Baths, 6 Adults

This beautifully renovated cottage is a bright and restful retreat and the perfect basecamp for exploring the magic of the North Shore. There are restaurants, bars and coffee shops all within walking distance. Hop on the trail for a quick walk to my favorite, the Cedar Coffee shop. The Two Harbors Light House, the Harbor and Castle Danger Brewery is approximately 10 easy blocks away. The Harbor is the perfect location to watch the ships come in...

The space is perfect for 2-6 adults, and still room for the kids!

The Polished Pebble Cottage, is a two-story home built in 1931. The cottage has undergone extensive interior renovations in 2021 and is all you will need to make memories on the North Shore. Enjoy all the charm with modern amenities!

The home is professionally cleaned and has 2 full bathrooms, both equipped with Jacuzzi tubs to take your stress away! One bathroom is conveniently located on the main floor and the 2nd is located off the master bedroom upstairs. Please note that they are combination Jacuzzi tub and shower units, so you will need to step into the tub to use the shower.

- The entire house is included in this rental, except for the basement and one supply closest that are locked.
- You will be given your own custom keypad code for easy access.
- There is off street parking in alley for 2 cars. There is also unlimited parking in front of house, except during winter months.

Fantastic Family Weekend
My husband and I along with our 2 young adult daughters spent Memorial Day weekend at the Polished Pebble Cottage. As other reviews have mentioned, the photos are true to the physical attributes of the rental. All of the bedrooms are on the second level. There was a very, very sufficient number of towels provided in each of the bedrooms for individuals to use. There was also small sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap, and lotion available in the bathrooms. The kitchen dishes, glasses, pots/pans, etc. were of high quality and met/exceeded our needs as we did "cook in" a couple times. We used the propane grill twice and again appreciated the quality of the grill and utensils provided in the basket by the back door. We took advantage of the jacuzzi tubs and there was sufficient hot water for a couple baths each day/night for individual family member's baths. It was still cool in the evenings at the end of May and we appreciated the "blankets" in the coop while using that area a couple of evenings. As far as local places, we enjoyed the coffee from White Pine Market and Cedar Coffee Company. In regards to communication, we received the check-in, Wi-Fi, check-out, etc. information ahead which was clear. Everything worked smoothly. Overall, we really enjoyed having a house to ourselves and while there are neighbors next door, they didn't appear to "be around" during our stay. Thanks for creating a welcoming home!

Cozy Cottage
The property was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was perfect for our group as we planned to cook all of our meals. The home was beautifully decorated and it was a very comfortable stay for 6 adults with 2 kids. We had 1 minor hiccup with the shower but John/Mac took care of it within an hour of contacting them. John even bought us a round at Castle Danger Brewery for the small inconvenience :) It was easy to check in/out of the property; we would definitely book again!

For the most part we really enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice if there was A/C. The stairs were a little scary. We spent our evenings in the screened in area which was enjoyable. The neighborhood seemed pretty quiet. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals.

We enjoyed our stay. Immentities were fine, beds good. Bath areas good. My husband and our son are both over six foot so they would of preferrred reclining chairs. Little Girls loved the cubby area ! We had fun finding the gnomes. Think we ended up with 15 if we counted the outside ones. All in all we had a pleasant stay. Thanks !

Relaxing and convenient
Beautiful cottage, just like the pictures. We were in town for my nieces wedding on the beach of Lake Superior - Gooseberry Falls State Park. It was an awesome weekend! We grilled out, sat by a bonfire, and enjoyed family. The location is convenient walking distance to the water, lighthouse, restaurants and breweries. Great place for family and friends and making memories!

Even better than expected
This rental is even better than it looks online. Every space is big, fresh, clean, cozy, not cluttered. Attention to detail is given for cleanliness. Clear, prompt and accurate communication by host. Excellent location for touring North Shore. About 15 minutes to Gooseberry Falls State Park. Thirty minutes into Duluth, but an easy and scenic drive. Comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. Caution if you have mobility issues in your group because the stairs up to the bedrooms are a little steep and curvy and the step into the jacuzzi size bathtubs could be a stretch for some individuals. We had no problem (60 somethings). No AC upstairs if you are staying in the summer, but fans are provided and kept us comfortable. Great kitchen, modern, well equipped. We didn’t use the coop, but it looks great. Outdoor furniture is high quality, comfy cushions, clean. Two Harbors is a fun little town: good selection and variety of places to eat in town, or within 10-15 minute drive. Nice big super market less than 5 minutes from rental. We enjoyed exploring the waterfront park at the historic Two Harbors lighthouse. We highly recommend this rental and challenge all guests to find the many hidden gnomes!

Stayed a couple nights while visiting the north shore. House was clean, and as stated. Comfy, had everything we needed. Nice touch was a fun kids room under the stairs with colored lights, kept the kids busy after a long day of site seeing. Would visit again.

Best for younger couples!
This was a very well maintained and clean property. It was as the owner suggested a good spot for exploring the North Shore! The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and cookware. We could have used paper towel, and another set of dish towels. The beds were comfortable and towels and bed linens were in good supply and very nice. The supplied toilet articles were rather luxurious. All the decorating touches made the home feel cozy. The main issue was that all four of us are in our 70's and the staircase was narrow and steep- pretty scary especially where it turns. Also the step into the tub-shower combo is very high, a good two feet. The need to step into the tub is mentioned, but the height it was still a surprise for us. If you are older or have mobility issues please take these issues into consideration. I think this would be a perfect place for younger couples and families!

Perfect little place…
We only stayed here to sleep as our trip there was to visit a family member on an acreage but this little house was perfect little setup and close to the main road going through Two Harbors which you can find plenty of shops and restaurants to try out. We never got around to use the fire pit or enclosed patio attached to the garage; neighbors kept to themselves and very quiet neighborhood.

Adorable find in Two Harbors!
My extended family and I booked this cute property for a weekend getaway on the North Shore. The location was perfect; walking distance to downtown Two Harbors, Cedar Coffee Company, and less than a half hour drive to Split Rock and Gooseberry Falls. The owners did an amazing job fixing up this old property, giving it new life in a refreshing fashion. Our family loved the modern decor, appliances, and unique touches like the children's play area under the stairs (our two year old absolutely loved it). The kitchen was fully stocked with new plates, dishes, mugs, and silverware, and made cooking our own meals (even a night of grilling thanks to the gas grill) a fun part of our trip. Last but not least, our favorite part of this property was the screen in porch, dubbed "The Coop," which had cozy lights and comfortable outdoor furniture, making it hard to leave the outdoors in the evenings. Would very much recommend this home in this quiet part of Two Harbors if you're looking for a place to stay with family and/or friends!

Comfort at the Polished Pebble
This is located in the heart of Two Harbors, getting to Duluth or Gooseberry Falls is a short drive. My husband and I stayed for our 10-year Wedding Anniversary. It was perfectly romantic with a slice of charm. The local bar is within walking distance and the views are breathtaking. Lots of hiking and delicious food. Highly recommended and can't wait to go back.
