Duluth VRBO
Beautiful property. In my opinion, first and lasting impression could be increased greatly by eliminating the overgrown weedbeds around the property. As they are not used they are an eyesore. Maintenance of the yard would also be quicker and easier without them. With that said, the home managed our party of 12 wonderfully and handled every one from 1 to 83 years old. Would definitely stay here again, even with the weed gardens!

Very nice stay
The house was large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. The lower level was quite chilly but after we got the fireplace working , more comfortable. Not too many wanted to use the tub in the master as we didn’t want to clean it after each person. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. Thank you!

Couples Weekend
The property is beautiful and spacious! There were 10 of us staying there and it never felt crammed. There was plenty of space for us to all lounge and hang out in the house and if it wasn’t November in Duluth, we would have absolutely enjoyed the beautiful deck space they had too. The downstairs area was perfect for playing games, and despite our crew getting a bit noisy and competitive, you couldn’t hear them in the upstairs bedrooms (big added bonus for us as we had an infant with us that went to bed early). It was so peaceful and tucked back just a bit outside of Duluth. I would definitely recommend it!

Such a great property
We had such a lovely weekend. The beds were comfortable, and I was impressed the home slept all 9 grown adults with room to spare. The kitchen was perfect for group meals (and VERY well stocked - pressure cooker, blender, etc). We came in after some pretty gnarly storms and hosts were very responsive to our needs. 10/10 would stay again. The garden was impressive and we enjoyed some apples from the tree in the backyard. 10/10 would stay again. Thank you for hosting us!

Terrific home, but could use a deep cleaning.
It fit our needs very well. We were up for my son’s wedding and were able to fit the rest of our family and get ready for the wedding. A couple things to know: We experienced some issues with the VRBO app, I was very glad that they also gave us their regular email address so we could get info to them. The carpet downstairs needs to be cleaned. We have a 2 year old grandson that was playing down there and his socks and knees got pretty grubby. The master bathroom doesn’t have a standard shower so all of us were trying to cycle through one bathroom to get ready before the wedding. Overall the property was pretty much what we were expecting. It was pouring all weekend so we weren’t able to be outside, but the yard looked to be really nice. I also appreciated that we were able to park in the garage. It helped tremendously when we were trying to unload and load with all the rain! It was also nice to have a spare refrigerator in the garage as we provided the food for the night before and lunch the day of the wedding and we could store it there before bringing it to where it was being served. They were terrific hosts.

Beautiful property!
The property was beautiful and perfect for our weekend stay. The fridge in the kitchen didn’t keep food cold so we used the one in the garage instead. Otherwise everything was great.

We had a wonderful time with lots of visiting, games and laughs. We are so fortunate to still have our 97 yo mother be an active part of this yearly celebration. It was the perfect setting for us and we thank the hosts for sharing the property with us.

We had a great time here! We were all pleasantly surprised upon arrival because the place was even nicer than in the pictures. The outdoor space is fantastic, but fair warning, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer! The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Would happily stay again!

Comfortable Retreat
Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Nice kitchen space for gathering and meal prep. Close proximity to St. Scholastica but out enough to have quiet retreat. Enjoyed watching the deer come up for breakfast and dinner in the gardens! Be prepared for a slow drive to house once you leave the black top road. Hosts were super responsive! 5 stars!

I wish we’d booked for a week as we didn’t want to leave! This is a beautiful, very comfortable home and the owners were so responsive to our questions! We ran short of an essential item & they deliver extra on our doorstep. The gardens are so lovely. We all enjoyed wandering on the property. We highly recommend this beautiful property!
