Overall this quiet comfortable Hillside Retreat provided just about all I would ask for in a short term rental. I liked the convenient parking steps away from our door, having one and a half bathrooms. My favorite part about this spot was the private sauna. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here next time we are in Duluth.

My family and I were in town visiting when our lodging plans needed a last minute change. We found this property but were unable to book through VRBO for a same day check in.
The property manager was quick to contqct us and make arrangements for check in that night.
We fo u bd the house VERY clean, comfortable and relaxing. It is BLOCKS from my mothers house and an easy drive to all things "touristy" in Duluth.
All of us LOVED this place and we will definitely see if it is available next time we need a place to stay in Duluth.

Our son and daughter-in-law live just up the hill, so this location was perfect!
It was comfortable for us four parents of our kids, and it enabled us to participate in the Christmas cooking.
We would definitely recommend Hilltop Retreat!

We had a great time visiting Duluth! The house was a relaxing place to come back to, from a fire outside and driveway basketball to relaxing in the sauna, it was a perfect home base after hiking and exploring the Duluth area.

This was a very nice property. We took advantage of the fire pit and were surprised to see they had a basketball hoop in the driveway. Overall it was a very nice place and we would stay again.

Very nice place to stay. Clean and had plenty of room for family of 4. Had all the things needed for a 5 day stay. Sauna was nice but just used once. Would rent again for sure. Just not sure it had air conditioning even though the listing said it did. Couldn’t find any vents and it was a bit warmer than we wanted.

If I could give six stars, I would. Loved the setting, property was well-maintained, decor was wonderful and warm. Barely heard the people upstairs (like maybe 5 footsteps one night). Close to everything. Highly recommend!

Lovely apartment in a great neighborhood. The place was spotless, comfortable and we enjoyed our stay in Duluth from this home base.
5.0
This property couldn't have been better suited to our family's needs. As business owners we don't get a lot of downtime or many opportunities to get away. We weren't looking to be touristy. We wanted a space where we could just hang out together, play games and relax. The aesthetic was clean and cozy with clever, intentional touches. The furniture and beds were comfortable, and everything was in good working order. We had a small issue with an electrical breaker, but management was quick to respond and resolve the issue. We would definitely stay again. It felt like home away from home.
