Very nice stay

Great accommodations, comfortable and cozy. Nice lake view, easy lake access by foot or car. Love the location, between Duluth and Two Harbors with a short drive to either and easy drive to all points North Shore. We had too much stuff as this was the third leg of a ten day trip. In future I'd pack lighter for easier load in/out on the stairs, otherwise no worries. Would love to return, wonderful experience

Beautiful stay

I loved the easy entry to the property. Using a number I know instead of something I would need to remember makes it a breeze. The amenities were great. Very clean. The rug in front of the main door kept getting caught under the door because of the fluffy carpet which was inconvenient so I moved it. I would stay here again and recommend it to others!

Needs some work

It isn't terrible, but it isn't a 5. The two most concerning things were their posted Duluth rental license was 8 months out of date and the top step down to the apartment was falling apart.
