About this house rental
This large yet cozy family friendly cottage was featured in the Minnesota publication of Women Today (July 2022) and sits right on the shores of Lake Superior with breathtaking views in every season. Enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, ice fishing and everything else Duluth and the North Shore have to offer. After a full day of exploring, you can retreat back to your home away from home and grill out on the back deck in the summer or relax by the fire on a cold winter evening. Minutes from canal park, hiking, golf, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and a short drive to Gooseberry Falls & up north attractions. Cozy bedrooms, open concept kitchen with wine fridge, coffee bar with traditional coffee maker & Kuerig, dining room, comfortable living room, a fully stocked kitchen with your basic essentials, large deck, gas fire pit & grill with the gorgeous Lake Superior as the backdrop.
**Please note, in order to enjoy the breathtaking view, the large 2nd floor bedroom with lake views does not have window blinds. This room faces southwest
SUMMER IS BUSY IN CANAL PARK! There will be traffic on most weekends, especially with special events going on so just be aware when making your vacation plans. Also, It snows here. It's very unpredictable but we do have snow removal that will be triggered with a 2" minimum. Please allow at least 12 hours after a snowfall for our company to get out to plow/shovel as necessary. During the busy summer boat traffic months, you will be what locals call "Bridged" while waiting for ships to pass under the Lift Bridge. This can take anywhere from 5-25 mins. Enjoy watching the big boats passing by!
***The grill is an added amenity provided for your enjoyment. Please use the provided grill brush to clean up after you're finished. If the grill is left for our staff to clean, there will be an additional $75 cleaning fee. Propane is included.
***No smoking: Smoking is not permitted on the entire premises. If evidence of smoking is found on the property, inside or outside, this will result in a $50-100 fee.
This is not a 'party house'. Price listed is subject to change. Standard two night minimum as required by the City of Duluth. #PL-22-077

Lovely property set up right where we wanted to be in Duluth…I have stayed in many Vrbo houses and this kitchen was set up and stocked with every type of (quality) pan, pot, plate, gadget a cooking hack or top chef could want!!…But the biggest surprise was how kid friendly it was…we had a 4 and almost 2 year old with us, and they had a ball with all the toys and books available to them ( and their parents were oh so grateful for high chairs and the potable crib - one less thing to have to haul for a short weekend!!)…perfectly timed communications about check-in and check-out info and rapid response to a question we had…was truly a wonderful “vacation” for all of us!!!

My sister, mom and I brought the kids north for a weekend getaway over president’s day weekend. The house was not only beautiful but it was comfortable and well suited for all ages. We loved the location as we enjoyed the seasonal beach views and the access to the bridge area. I highly recommend this location if you are considering a visit to Duluth!
