Yes this place is as adorable as it looks with its theme and liberal use of Hobby Lobby signs. It was also clean and well stocked. The downtown area is only about 4 blocks away but the places on route 61 are really close. Super close. That is because the house is located on 61, and if you are unfamiliar, route 61 is the main road up and down the north shore.
Like any house it has some good and some not as good:
1) You share the house with other renters. Being an older house, you can hear them. You are renting the top floor and upon entering you have about a 14 step climb to your area.
2) The house is on route 61 and you should expect a lot of traffic noise. A. Lot.
3) Wifi wasn't great. We ended up using our phone hotspot for the majority of our stay.
4) The rooms can get pretty warm during the summer, and there is an air conditioner, but it's in the kitchen and doesn't really cool the rest of the house off. (We put one of their fans in the kitchen doorway and that helped a little)
5) Great theme - adds to the ambiance.
6) It was super clean.

We had a great time in the Two Harbors area; so much so that we didnt spend much time at the property. It was perfect for what we needed.

We stayed here for our annual Mother’s Day trip.
Very cute - clean and fun
There are a set of killer stairs to climb so if you have folks with knee issues it is something to be aware of 😊

Stayed for a youth hockey tournament. Wonderful location for that! A few blocks from the rink and all the local restaurants! The only negative was the stairs in and out. I must have missed them being listed as I have severely bad knees making entering and exiting very difficult.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen items were plentiful, even the knives were sharp! I would risk the issues getting up and down to stay again. We really enjoyed it! The popcorn machine was a nice touch that made movie time a pleasure!

Close to every where you need to go, easy to find. Was a little loud right in highway 61, but the nights were quiet and we were able to sleep well.
The decor is fun and interesting.
Very enjoyable stay. Thank you very much!

Enjoyed our weekend at this house on the main strip of Two Harbors. Themed in 50’s decor and appointed with lots of fun like popcorn maker, turntable and records, marshmallow cooker, themed rooms and more. Extremely clean. Walkable to restaurants, bars, shoreline, and brewery. We’d stay there again.

This place was great! Everything went along with the themed decor, there is so much attention to detail. And not only did it look cool, but the beds and furniture were comfortable too. Great location, easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. I’d definitely stay here again.

Twist and Shout had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We enjoyed being able to walk to ice cream, Castle Danger Brewing, and the Agate Beach along Lake Superior. It was a great launch pad for our North Shore hiking adventure.

This was a good location and a cutely decorated rental. Everything was perfect except the pillows. We need thinner pillows and they were all lofty, would recommend more of a selection.

Loved listening to the old music, being surrounded by all the 50s decor, the small touches that they have taken the time to add. Thank goodness for the air conditioning and fans. Loved this place, would come again. The one down side, 1 bathroom. Would recommend this VRBO. Janelle was a wonderful host. Thank you.

Super cute property! We REALLY enjoyed our stay! Be aware that this is the upper level of a house, so there are stairs to get to the property. Also, there is no central air conditioning - only a room air conditioner in the kitchen. We brought 2 box fans with us for the bedroom windows and they helped to circulate the cooler evening air into the rooms.

Cute place!!
Very cute property - the property owner must of had a blast decorating! Close to downtown on the main street going through town. A bit noisy but was hilarious hearing the big rigs going by putting on their jake breaks!! Reminded us of another time in our lives and apartment living. We had a couple of hot days, Janelle called to say the air conditioner came in and had the maintenance guy bring it up to install, we only had it running probably an hour since we were gone touring in the daytime & it cooled off nice at night, the breeze through the windows was awesome & plenty of ceiling fans to help. A good time was had and was of course, too short. Hope to be back again someday - the North Shore is just beautiful. Thanks Janelle for a nice stay!!

Gitchi Gami ride
Great location for a North shore base.
Two Harbors has everything needed for the time we spent here.
Still need to travel north to get on Gitch-Gami trail.

Girlfriend getaway
Beware of steep stairs to property. It was unseasonably hot for the North Shore. There is no air conditioning. So we tried opening all windows and turned on the 2 ceiling fans. The windows had to be propped up with cans and cooking utensils as no dowels provided. The first night was challenging as so hot. I requested floor fans for the second night which was not provided. The second night the temperature lower. However be aware of location and street noise. The high outdoor temp was a big factor for a pleasant stay. Cute place.

Exactly as pictured!
The property has a one-of-a-kind feel that is true to the pictures! Conveniently located along the main road, which was helpful for our group traveling to Lutsen for a wedding. Thanks!

Absolutely adorable
This place is adorable beyond words. Decorated with great memorabilia from Elvis, Marilyn and eclectic 50’s fun themed items. We enjoyed the varied selection of original records and played them nightly as we rested from our day’s activities. Janelle the owner was great, she communicated with all the details we needed. This place does not have ac but with the north shore breezes we made due. I do wish it had some fans to provide some white noise for sleeping with the windows open the passing cars were a bit loud. All that said I would stay here again in a minute. I would highly recommend this charming place. Clean, safe, great beds, all the kitchen items you’d ever need, a fun old fashioned movie type popcorn popper, easy access…and a great host. Book it now if you can.

Great environment to relax in
What a great place to come ‘home to’ when on vacation! Big enough to stretch out and not feel cramped but cozy all the same!

Fantastic place and awesome hosts!
We LOVED this property! It's the perfect getaway location in Two Harbors, within walking distance to many fun shops. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was large enough for multiple cooks! The nostalgic theme throughout was perfectly done and Janelle and Brad were excellent hosts - very good communication and they responded immediately to my questions when we booked and when we stayed. They even decorated for our birthday celebration!! I would definitely stay again and will recommend this property to my friends and family!

Great home away from home
Janelle provided a really great space for us. The kitchen has any plate, bowl, glass, pot or pan that you could possibly need. We brought our sharp knives, but didn’t need to bring any other kitchen items up from the car. Comfy bed, hot shower, great stove and fridge. And LOTS of fun things everywhere. You will keep finding them, like Easter eggs, throughout your stay. Good Wi-Fi and satellite TV, too! We loved our 5 nights in Two Harbors.

Fun Decor & Nice Touches
The property was super fun, great location and walkable to Two Harbors restaurants. The door lock was a bit tricky. We had trouble unlocking and locking throughout our stay. The beds were comfy, nice selection of movies and entertainment. Loved the theme and the cute touches throughout (popcorn machine, record player). We had a great stay. Thank you!

This property is so thoroughly committed to the 1950's theme that discovering all the details was a delightful Easter egg hunt, and hostess Janelle was a jewel! Just be aware (for accessibility) that there is a steep stairway into the space.
