Extremely clean beautiful home. Very comfortable climate controlled rooms. The oversized covered balcony was the highlight and accommodated our extended family perfectly for morning coffee and other meals. I can’t say enough good things about our stay, we enjoyed it thoroughly! Communication with the host was extremely easy and prompt. The property was in perfect proximity to all of the activities we wanted to do and sights we wanted to see along the North Shore as well as in the city of Duluth.
