We loved this cottage! It was clean and cozy and had so many great extra features like the outside sitting area. Loved all the gnomes placed around the house and backyard. The only thing we had trouble with were the beds. They weren’t the most comfortable. But other than that, great place to stay!

Pretty straight forward. We cooked often taking advantage of the fully stocked kitchen. No A/C. Luckily it was on the cooler side for most of our trip. Multiple fans allowed for air the circulate. Decor and quality of finishes was better than expected - not cheap like many short term rentals. Screened in gazebo was great! We were surprised by a skunk on more than one occasion. The owner may want to look into having someone trap it and relocate it. The only downside I can think of was that the cleaner was not finished by our 4:00pm check-in, but it wasn’t a big deal. Played some board games and there was plenty of propane to grill. Thanks for a great experience!

Yard was definitely not well kept, but the home, ease of check-in, and amenities were top-notch! Stunning home and the best rental I have ever stayed in! Highly recommend!

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!

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and extra blankets that were provided. It was clean, easy check in and the host was very responsive to our need of fixing something!

Overall good. Wish it was air conditioned after the heat MN has had!
The toilet seat in master bedroom is very loose and would not tighten
Kitchen was very well stocked we wished that all the windows would open! Thank you

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 !

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!

We have stayed in many houses on vacation and this was one of the best. Very clean and looked just like the pictures online. It was great for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Two Harbors is a cute little town and great location for visiting all the places on the north shore. We had a fun family vacation and enjoyed the house! Thanks!

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.

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!

We had a wonderful girls weekend! The weather may not have cooperated, but we found the cottage to be very comfortable, clean, and gave us a beautiful place to hang out, talk and catch up with one another.

Everything was exactly as described. Very cute well appointed home. Bathrooms were enormous! Located very close to downtown Two Harbors. Easy drive up along the North Shore. Would stay again in a minute.

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!

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.

This was our first trip north of Duluth. Two Harbors was a good place to go with kids. We could drive to several natural locations and eat in town. The house was very cute character and clean. Communication was excellent with host. Definitely would recommend :)

Everything at the cottage was wonderful! The place was very clean and so well decorated. We really enjoyed the outside area in the back yard. We were able to enjoy the outdoors at night without any bugs. Definitely would recommend this location to our friends in the future!

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.

Kitchen was stocked and clean. Bathrooms were simple elegance! A perfect winter retreat with the beauty of the North Shore every day.

The cottage was the perfect place to spend an ‘up north’ weekend getaway.
Contactless check in made arrival seamless and the hosts were great to communicate with before and during our stay. The pictures are exactly what you’ll get when staying here, everything felt clean and modern. Loved that we were walking distance from a local coffee shop as well as close to the brewery and restaurants near by. We will absolutely recommend to friends and family and already are looking forward to our next stay here!
