Adequate stay

Overall it was an adequate stay. It was a cute house within walking distance to the canal district. We felt like it wasn’t the nicest neighborhood with nighttime sounds from the neighbors that kept several in our group awake at night. On one walk to the canal district we went down the street closer to the hospital and encountered quite a few transients. Some of which approached us asking for food/money. As mentioned by other reviewers the owner lives in the basement but that wasn’t a problem at all, we could barely tell she was there.The house has a lived in feel with quite a bit of personal effects in the cupboards and family photos on the wall. It felt like we were visiting grandmas house who was out for the week. The decorations were cute but dusty.

Great weekend getaway

My family of 6 stayed for 2 nights at this charming house. The owner stayed in the basement the first night, and we enjoyed getting to know a little more about her and the area. Definitely would stay again.

Lovely cozy home with character!

The living room is really cozy and has a smart tv. It has a full kitchen with an island and Tupperware for any leftovers you want to keep in the full size fridge. This is actually my second time staying here. The host cleared the back entry porch and sidewalk when it snowed. It was a great place to stay. I can only speak for the winter spring time, but you can see Lake Superior from the upper bedroom and a little bit from the porch, and living room. They have some games and I believe a puzzle or two. Also there is a table runner you or the kids can color with the markers provided! :) I liked all the plants as well. Centrally located if you want to go downtown or up 61 to see water falls. Hospital is nearby if you are there to work at the hospital.

Cute place close to Lake Superior

The living room is really comfortable and has little fold out tables if you decide to eat and watch tv. Big dining table, full kitchen. It is a really old home with a lot of charm. I loved all the little rabbit and the black and gray squirrels that come out every morning (I’m sure less likely to see them in the middle of winter. The owner is very responsive and nice. We didn’t hear anything from her except when we needed another key. Has a nice little deck and garden in the back. Good place because it encourages hanging out together downstairs. Definitely recommend.

Great spot

We had a great time staying here! The house was very clean, had everything we could need, and we loved all the handmade pottery and all the houseplants around. It gave it such a fun vibe. We were surprised to learn the owner was staying in the basement unit, it seemed that should have been mentioned in the listing. But the place was great, we played quite a bit of cribbage and board games around the table, the outdoor patio area seemed like it'd be really nice for the summer, and the location was great for all the local spots we wanted to check out.

Really enjoyed staying in this historic property! Close access to everything. Could get pretty much everywhere on foot or a short drive. Great time of year to be up on the Shore as well! Prompt communications with the host throughout our stay.

Without construction, the location of the house is very accessible. The house itself had so much charm and character, very clean and quiet too. I'm looking forward to returning for a longer stay!

We had a great trip to Duluth. The Host was kind and very accommodating. The house had a cute set up and was clean when we arrived. One of the best features was the outdoor patio where we enjoyed two of our evenings. Thank you to the host for everything Thank

Great house!

The house is super cute and has tons of character--the backyard and garden are great, too. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds comfy and the kids enjoyed Netflix during the rain. There's so much within walking distance and getting in and out by car was fine (a bit more complicated with construction, but not a big deal), and the Positively 3rd Street Bakery a few blocks away is amazing and the Chester Creek area was lovely for a little light hiking.

Great place to stay

Great location. It felt very homey and had a lot of extras in the kitchen that would have been great if we would have stayed longer. We didn’t realize the owner lived downstairs, though that wasn’t really an issue; just unexpected. Overall a great stay.

We had the things we needed in the house and it was comfortable but did not realize the owner was going to be in a separate basement apartment while we were there. It wasn't a problem, just unexpected.
