Stayed during January and still leaving a big thumbs up!
Duluth is cold in January... duh!! This place was cozy for sure. It's location is absolutely the best, but in January we weren't outside much. We came to Duluth for a wedding and had several individual needs and a large group (6 adults and two dogs). This place was perfect and allowed for us all to have our own space. Bill was available for all questions too. Games on-site and that helped to make a fabulous weekend.

Fun and Funky
This was a fun place to stay. Great location with a trail from the house right to the beach. Well equipped kitchen and lots of games for the family. The cottage was liked by the young adult who chose to sleep out there. Not an issue for us but both bathrooms in the house are on the second floor. The cottage has a bathroom that does not require stairs, but you need to go outside to get to the cottage. It is very close to the Lift Bridge area attractions. It was a great place for us, and we enjoyed the eclectic decorating.

bentleyville weekend
We had a fun time going to see the lights at Bentleyville. We enjoyed the home. There were a few items that we thought needed help. First there were too many rugs along the floors. We did pull them up when we were they. We thought that with the age of the adults staying there this would me more of a tripping hazard then anything. Another item that was the rocks in the shower were very slippery. I know that there is not much that can be done for this just maybe put a cute sign up. The last item was more my issue. I didn't see until the end that we could have used the other cottage in the back. We had two people sleep out the day bed in the attic and we could have used the cottage in the back. Overall it was a nice stay and would like to maybe rent again in the summer.

Duluth family vacation
We loved the fact that we had access to the beach and Lake Superior! It was close to downtown so liked that we could go see the sights and get back quickly. The ceiling fans were beneficial when there wasn't a breeze or we didn't want to hear the early morning traffic. A plug in fan for the upstairs open bedroom area would be helpful. It was wonderful when we could open the windows for a nice breeze. With the extra cottage we had lots of space for everyone. Loved the fire pit. The door to the cottage needs to be fixed, it was stuck and hard to open. Tile is coming off the floor near the shower in the cottage which could rot the sub floor. The shower curtain had mildew on it and should be changed. My son was looking forward to playing the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 but it didn't work. We had a great time in Duluth.

Family beach vacation
We found the beach house & cottage clean and comfortable. The exterior of both is in need of some TLC. A short walk to the beach provided amazing water fun for our group of 10. Appreciated the air cond as it was really warm for Duluth (90).

Ideal location
Pros: Met priority needs for our extended family group of six adults, two preschoolers, two small dogs; host quickly accessible and accommodating; ideal location; 3 minute back yard walk to spectacular beach which feels private; close to Canal Park. House is old with many of the design issues that come with its era. (We know, we live in one.) However nicely remodeled and well stocked kitchen, large dining area; interesting and nicely updated bathrooms; private backyard; one of few rentals that allows dogs. Perfect for two people who biked all over Duluth and loved the bike lane in front of the house; old-fashioned three season front porch fun to watch the passersby. Made good use of the fire pit and appreciated the wood supply in the garage Cons; House and cottage could use some updates- most importantly need a cottage AC and dehumidifier, new cottage mattresses and double bed, linens both houses. Description of layout needs to be more clear for families and those with mobility issues. Be aware that house bathrooms and bedrooms are both on the upper floor so challenging for older folks and younger children. No elevator as stated in description.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Michels

Host profile image
We are a Twin Cities architect and artist who are always thrilled to spend family time in Duluth. The House and Cottage on Park Point is our little place away from home to do that. We have enjoyed remodeling and updating the house and cottage and turning it into a comfortable home with a relaxing livable atmosphere. It's given us the opportunity to do something a little different that we can share with everyone else.

Why they chose this property

The beach is like nothing else in this part of the country, it's like being at the ocean. The water is warm enough to swim in, you can walk forever, and the infamous MN mosquito's are practically non existent because of the breezes off the lake. It's certainly a bonus to be a 15 minute walk down the beach to Canal Park or a short drive to the North Shore of Lake Superior.

What makes this property unique

We are just a bit unique in that there are two units we rent together. Put the kids in one or even grandma if she prefers to have her own quarters. Sometimes it's just a fight to see who gets the cottage!

And of course the location- beach, Canal Park, Lake Superior, the North Shore, restaurants...!
