About this property

Enjoy Duluth's best trails/parks from our backyard with Outdoor Sauna

Location is the key with this beautiful home! Nestled quietly in the woods on the base of Spirit Mountain. Walk out the back door and enjoy a multitude of things to do including mountain biking, down hill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, and much more. Across the street is the Munger Trail for those that prefer to bike and hike on pavement. The St. Louis River is located right down the road for boating, fishing, or kayaking. Lake Superior/Canal Park and Park Point is within a short 15 minute drive. You will also find the craft district full of restaurants and breweries within 10 minutes.

The space
Enjoy the whole newly remodeled home. There are two private bedrooms (Bedroom #1 has one queen bed and Bedroom #2 has two twin beds). There is a full bath with two sinks, tub/shower unit, and toilet. Enjoy the open living space with a gas fireplace, cozy leather furniture and solid wood floors. There is a brand new kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, microwave, oven/range, and coffee pot along with a dining space to relax and eat. Out back there is a deck with a grill and patio table to enjoy the outdoors. The lower level has another living room with another full-size bed (this considered the 3rd bedroom) and bathroom with a walk in shower. Relax and kick back with a large fire pit to warm up and roast some marshmallows. There is also a barrel sauna for your use. You will never want to leave!

Beautiful property!
We loved this vacation rental! The setting in the woods was beautiful, the house was amazing and clean with great views, and the hosts were very responsive! We were in town for a trail race and loved that we could walk to the superior hiking trail from our back yard! We would definitely stay again!

Cute & clean
Great spot- beautiful location next to a hiking trail, cute and clean house- our kids (ages 5-10) adored the house too! Sauna was a fun bonus. Did an easy day trip up the North Shore- Black Beach, Split Rock Lighthouse trail, Gooseberry Falls, and Canal Park. Had the feeling of being more remote (with large windows overlooking beautiful trees), yet was convenient. Would love to come back and do more hikes out the backyard. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

Great Upnorth Stay for the Whole Family
We recently stayed at this wonderful property up north, and it was absolutely perfect for our family! The place was incredibly clean and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. With younger children, we appreciated the family-friendly setup—plenty of space for them to play and explore. The back yard goes under appreciated, lots of space with trail access and secluded fire pit. The amenities were fantastic, especially the sauna, which was great after the kids went to bed. The hosts were amazing—helpful, responsive, and quick to answer any questions. The property has a the cabin charm, but it’s also conveniently located close to Duluth’s attractions. It’s the ideal spot for families looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty to do nearby. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Duluth getaway
Mark and Jamie, we had a great stay. The accommodations were everything we hoped for. We loved our home away from home. The convenience of being so close to many Duluth attractions was a big plus. We only wish our vacation could have lasted longer. Looking forward to future visits at this peaceful “Retreat”.

Another great stay
As repeat renters for this location, my friends and I were thrilled once again. This home is clean and inviting, had everything we needed to cook and feel comfortable, and is in a safe and private location. We plan a third stay next year. :)

Fabulous Duluth property
The house is exactly as pictured yet somehow even better. The owners have done an amazing job remodeling this property, making it quaint, modern, clean, inviting, just overall fabulous. They have considered every possible amenity; we could not find a single thing they did not have. They are excellent communicators and overall consummate hosts. We would stay in any property they owned again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

A very cozy quiet stay. The house is clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed skiing out the back door and then came back to an incredible sauna and a warm relaxing retreat. Thanks so much. We will be back for hiking season.

Hidden Gen
The property was a little oasis in Duluth, you feel like you’re tucked back into the woods but have a 10 mins drive to anywhere. The property interior and exterior was very well kept and clean. The property owners were very well with communication and flexibility We enjoyed the backyard area every night.

Fantastic property. Clean, comfortable and easy access to all attractions around Duluth. Owners were easily accessible though not needed since everything was in good order with the property. Will definitely stay here again when we get back to Duluth.

Great find!
We couldn’t have been happier and more comfortable with this house. So clean and had everything we needed. Little far from downtown Duluth but that was ok. Guessing it is absolutely ideal for ski weekends but we had a short summer getaway. Would stay here again if in the area.

Gem in Duluth
We enjoyed our time here! It was clean and just as they said it is. We stay here with our 3 kids (7,3,1) and they loved the place. Quiet yard and access to trails out the back and down the front. We hope to return the next time our travels take us to Duluth.
