The place itself is beautifully kept. Everything was clean and comfortable. The place is spacious. You can tell the owners have put a lot of care into it.
The location is fine; definitely on the edge of Duluth. The kitchen overlooks an RV campground.

Lots of space. Part of our group could not make it. But had there been 10 people there still would have been enough space. We initially had plans of driving to Duluth but there was so much to see in Fond Du Lac that we never drove there. From the State Park to going to a gorgeous place called the Trophy Lodge for cocktails there was no shortage of things to do. I would say the only complaint we all had was the dining room and deck chairs did not have cushions. All of us could not sit on them long before moving to the couch. Especially the dining room chairs. This is a real easy fix if they choose to do it or you might want to bring your own cushions. Again we would stay here again.

House was perfect for 6 ladies. Mirrors and lights at the three upstairs desks would help to provide makeup and hair styling stations to free up the bathrooms.
But that is minor detail not needed by all. House was quiet and we felt safe.

We rented this house for a quick family vacation. Worked perfectly for our family. Large rooms, large house, plenty of chairs, and sitting space. Just what we needed for our stay. Plenty of room for parking. Our group had 4 vehicles. We would stay here again if we come back to this area.

Trailhouse is a very appropriate name for this hidden gem! It's roomy, well stocked and the perfect location for visiting parks or MTB trails. Plenty of parking, comfy beds and a stocked kitchen means you'll be cooking up some delish meals after your adventure. With 2 TVs your group could break off and watch their own movies. The hosts are very informative and the listing was accurate. Any questions were answered quickly and they offered up activities to help make sure we were having a good time. We'll be back for sure!

There was plenty of room for our kids and adult chaperones. The kitchen was great for preparing and serving meals. The kids loved the fire pit in the backyard. It was easy to get everyone ready and out of the door in the morning. Clean and comfortable.

Check in process was easy. The house is a bit run down, but functioned nicely for our group of 8. Location was not my favorite. Located right next to a RV campground. All and all it was a good stay.

Very pleased!!! House was perfect for our group of 8 ladies. Inside was recently remodeled and very clean. Location was great with park and walking trails nearby. Host was very accommodating and quick to respond plus shared suggestions of what to do and where to eat. Thanks for making us feel welcome!

We had family ages 88 to 60 from all over the country staying for a wedding. The house was perfect for 9 of us, 4 couples and 1 single. It was VERY clean and so spacious. We had many meals there with up to 25, including 5 children, so having two gathering spaces was wonderful (kids in the upstairs living room with movies streaming). We stayed for 5 days and could not imagine being in a hotel over this house. We had room to play table games, set up a puzzle, watch TV, be on a computer, or just sit and chat (all at the same time...so much room!). The internet failed the last day but the owner was easy to contact and worked hard to get it back online. A hotel would never have provided us the family time together. This was my first VRBO experience and I'm sure we'll do it again. I hope other rentals are as nice as this one.
For future renters wondering: The beds are comfortable and come with linens. There are extra blankets available. Bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths are also provided, although there weren't enough wash cloths unless we did a load of laundry. Laundry detergent is provided. In the kitchen there are plenty of dishware (plates, cups, etc), flatware, knives, toaster, coffee makers, blender, pizza pans, flat baking pans. There was plenty of napkins but we needed more paper towels and toilet paper. There were no kitchen towels or dish cloths, just a sponge. The hand soap provided was foam and too watered down. There is an iron and ironing board. Overall, it is well supplied but we did have to buy a few inexpensive things that we typically use.

Spacious quiet house
Very clean and lots of room. All 5 bedrooms decent size and nice to have 3 bathrooms. Good sized living area. We were there in Winter (-20 degrees) and would like to come back in Summer as a park w/ trail access right across the street. About 20 min from heart of Duluth though around the corner from Fond Du Lac ski hill and close to the back entrance of Spirit Mtn. Overall a great place and we would like to come back.

Perfect Outdoor Getaway Weekend
We had a great time at the Trail House, which was the perfect home base for our outdoor getaway weekend. We had 3 kids under 6 who loved the park at Chambers Grove just a block away, and the house had plenty of space for our group to relax and recharge when we weren't out and about. We loved how close the house is to Jay Cooke State Park, and we also were able to take a quick trip into Canal Park downtown Duluth. The Trail House is a great spot - we'd love to stay here again!

Great place!
The property offered plenty of room for our family to park (2 vehicles and an RV), work, play, and sleep. The house was spotless. Matthew always responded quickly and provided assistance when needed. It was great to have WiFi and the washer and dryer. Beautiful drive through Jay Cooke state park. Would stay again!

Great house! Clean and comfortable! 20 minutes from Duluth but very near Jay Cooke State Park. We had a wonderful time. Matthew was great to work with! Sammies Pizza is near by. Excellent pizza with 2 gluten free crust options both 10 and 12 inch pies!!!!

Fond du Lac getaway
Property is well located for enjoyment of the area. We enjoyed hiking, biking and boating. Property is near highway and next to campground and a short walk from river.

Perfect
We had a wonderful stay. Plenty of room for a group. Would recommend.

Very good experience
We were impressed by the cleanliness and open floor plan. The only drawback was how far away it was from Duluth which is about 25 minutes. If you don't care about proximity to Duluth it is perfect. It is right on the river with easy access to county and state parks. It was very good for five adults and three children.

Super clean, plenty of room, great for families!
This was our first time using VRBO and I was nervous about what we would find. We had an amazing experience! The property was wonderful and Matthew was great at communicating. The house is updated, very clean, and we had everything we needed from extra towels to spices. We loved the nearby park, which had plenty to do for the kids during down time. The only reason I gave the location a 4 instead of 5 stars was simply because there wasn't a lot nearby in terms of restaurants and such. Most days though we were doing activities downtown Duluth and ate there, so it wasn't a problem at all. We'd definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Our Family Vacation 2021
House well laid out. Really fit our needs for sleeping arrangements. Could have used a TV upstairs. Could have been better stocked with TP and paper towels. Was nice to be a reasonable distance from Duluth. Our toddler granddaughter loved the close by playground.

Wedding week
The house was really great. It was far out from central Duluth but we did know that when we booked. The space itself was spacious, clean, and well stocked. There wasn’t a bunch of stuff my kids could break which I appreciated and it helped me enjoy it more.

Great Location for Variety of Activities
Awesome space for gathering our family. Big open family area on main floor, and smaller area to relax on second floor. Very clean. Did lots of hiking in Jay Cooke State Park, went into Duluth to sight see/shop. Next time we'll bring our kayaks/canoes. Sat out at the little park around the corner on the water to watch fourth of July fireworks and got quite a show. Minnie vs. Wisco. Super easy to get access to house.
