“The pictures don’t do justice as to how beautiful and comfortable this AIRBNB is! It’s huge inside, quiet, beautiful views, everything you’d have in your home plus more! You can see the trains go by and the lake view was spectacular! We all had fun down by the pool as well. ...”

“Our trip to Duluth and the North Shore was a huge success and this place had a lot to do with it. It worked out great for our young family of six instead of having a couple hotel rooms. It was close to many things so most times, driving isn’t necessary. Great memories thank you!”
