Mark and Jamie, we had a great stay. The accommodations were everything we hoped for. We loved our home away from home. The convenience of being so close to many Duluth attractions was a big plus. We only wish our vacation could have lasted longer. Looking forward to future visits at this peaceful “Retreat”.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Spirit Mountain Retreat! It’s absolutely beautiful and warm and inviting. Everything is new and fresh. Jaime and Mark were amazing hosts! Providing everything from toilet paper to snow plowing. We had such an amazing experience and we can’t wait to return.

What a gem!
From the space, to the sauna and yard, to the proximity to downhill, nordic, and bike trails, this place has it all.
Thanks for making our Duluth trip relaxing and memorable. We'll be back!

The house is exactly as pictured yet somehow even better. The owners have done an amazing job remodeling this property, making it quaint, modern, clean, inviting, just overall fabulous. They have considered every possible amenity; we could not find a single thing they did not have. They are excellent communicators and overall consummate hosts. We would stay in any property they owned again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

A very cozy quiet stay. The house is clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed skiing out the back door and then came back to an incredible sauna and a warm relaxing retreat. Thanks so much. We will be back for hiking season.

Great home for a friend weekend in Duluth. This house is right next to Spirit Mountain and about 10-15 minutes from Canal. Very nice kitchen and great room. Clean home and great yard.

The property was a little oasis in Duluth, you feel like you’re tucked back into the woods but have a 10 mins drive to anywhere. The property interior and exterior was very well kept and clean. The property owners were very well with communication and flexibility
We enjoyed the backyard area every night.

Wonderful weekend catching up with friends biking, hiking to waterfalls and enjoying each other’s company. Great location for bike trail and quiet neighborhood to relax and unwind! We even used the sauna which was a great experience!

Fantastic property. Clean, comfortable and easy access to all attractions around Duluth. Owners were easily accessible though not needed since everything was in good order with the property. Will definitely stay here again when we get back to Duluth.

We couldn’t have been happier and more comfortable with this house. So clean and had everything we needed. Little far from downtown Duluth but that was ok. Guessing it is absolutely ideal for ski weekends but we had a short summer getaway. Would stay here again if in the area.
5.0
We enjoyed our time here! It was clean and just as they said it is.
We stay here with our 3 kids (7,3,1) and they loved the place. Quiet yard and access to trails out the back and down the front.
We hope to return the next time our travels take us to Duluth.

We enjoyed our visit to this property. The home was very clean and had a nice private setting. Communication with the owners was excellent. They resolved an issue we had with the grill immediately. The owners go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your vacation.

Great location in close proximity to the trails, and just a 10-15 minute drive into the heart of Duluth. The sauna was awesome and the house had all the amenities that we needed.

Very easy check in process and great communication from the owners. Great secluded location while still being close enough to stores and the city.
The only drawback was there was not a washer and dryer available to do laundry on site. Other than that we loved it!

This home was so lovely and clean! Beautiful window scenaries. I love that this house gives you the feel like you are tucked away in the forest even though you are in a residential area. Love that it had a hiking trail in the backyard. And the drive to most attractions are only 15-20 minutes away.
The hosts responds very quickly to any questions I have. Check in and check out was a breeze!
My family would really love to stay here again!

My friends and I had a lovely girls weekend here! The home is so beautiful and has everything you need. The location was perfect — just a short drive to downtown or to Jay Cooke State Park! Hosts were so friendly, accommodating, and responsive. I wish I could stay longer!

Our time was short and filled with Duluth activities but it was nice to have such a nice gathering space for family. Clean, welcoming, comfortable. Thank you!

This is a very well-appointed and comfortable VRBO. Proximity to numerous trails (Duluth Traverse, SHT, Waabizheshikana, Munger, DWP, Grand Avenue Nordic, and of course Spirit Mountain for Alpine/Nordic ski, tubing and gonzo downhill MTB. Duluth's East end & Canal Park get way too much of the attention for outdoor rec, West Duluth is not to be missed. You can literally walk to all of this stuff and we did. The wood-fired barrel sauna was awesome. Acces to laundry machines would be nice for longer stays.

The house is even more impressive in person. It was very clean!! The home felt warm and cozy and the beds were all really comfortable. We had a wonderful time. We did a lot of outdoor activities so it was great to come home to this place, warm up, play games, watch movies, and use the sauna. We had snow one morning and the owner was quick to communicate and remove the snow for us. The kids already asked if we could come back next year. Looking forward to another stay here.

Clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated; this home is perfect for a relaxing stay! You can’t find a better location for access to Spirit Mountain. The attention to detail and ease in communication make Mark & Jamie the perfect hosts. Highly recommend this home!

We had a wonderful trip and stay over President’s weekend with Don, daughter in law and two granddaughters. This property easily accommodated our party and was SO CONVENIENT to Spirit Mtn and other outdoor activities. The lower Chalet was just around the block, Jay Cook was a 20 minute drive and Duluth restaurants a short drive away.
The property was very clean, nicely decorated (so cute!) and we really enjoyed the cedar sauna after a day of outdoor skiing and hiking. The owners have thought of everything! Plenty of dishes, all the utensils and pots/ pans anyone would need. Very well stocked! And, they were attentive when we had questions. We loved it!!
Five stars all around!

Great place, great location and great hosts! Everything was clean and the sauna was excellent. Easy access to the trails for snowshoeing. Mark and Jamie were always available if needed, definitely will stay here again.

This is what a VRBO should be! Impeccably clean, comfortable, and easy. The house was even better than the pictures - spacious and charming, tucked away enough that it felt remote, but really just a quick drive to downtown. Our hosts were gracious and efficient, with a simple list of need/nice to know things, and had the sauna ready for us to light. All in all, a great little holiday!

I just need to stay that this was the best experience I've had staying in a vacation rental! The rental was clean which is above all else important to me. Not to mention beautifully decorated and accurately represented. So many nice touches throughout. The owner was so generous and accommodating to us when we requested an early check in (There was a winter storm that changed our travel plans). While the weather and windchills foiled some of our ski and outdoor plans we had for our visit, we kept busy with a little winter hiking from the trail (it really is right there from the back yard), board games, books, not to mention the Sauna! We got a lot of relaxing done on this trip. A short drive into Duluth, not far from places to eat and get groceries. We spent Christmas here and were so surprised to find a Christmas tree and holiday decorations set up to make it even more festive! You will not regret booking this wonderful home. We will be back!

Great location for access to cross country ski trails, down hill skiing, and fat tire bike trails. We loved coming back to a warm fire and sauna .

A beautiful place to stay! Everything was nice and clean, I’m super picky about things like this. Stayed with husband and kids the weekend before the Christmas holiday. House was beautifully decorated for Christmas, it was so comfy and cozy! We had a lot of great family time.
The hosts were great and easy to get in touch with if needed. Short drive to Duluth and found many great restaurants and things to do! We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

Mark and Jamie were excellent hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed. Their communication and flexibility was great. The house was perfectly clean and cozy. The beautiful views outside of the large windows were a favorite perk. Beds were comfortable, appliances were top notch, and the sauna was charming. My friends and I gushed about the house all weekend. We were surprised with a Christmas tree in the house and that made things even cozier. We had all we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. The location was great for shopping and restaurants. We plan to book a stay for next year. Very highly recommended!

What a gorgeous property! Stayed with my family just before Thanksgiving and just adored this home. We loved hiking - with access to trails and woods just off the backyard. The kids had some nice downtime playing video games downstairs, and the icing on the cake were the cozy fireplace and relaxing sauna. This place had plenty of special touches that made it feel like home.
The hosts were fantastic and easy to reach if needed, and it was a short drive to downtown Duluth, where we found great restaurants and things to do in the evenings. Would love to stay again whenever we’re in Duluth!
