Relaxing stay!
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.

Cute, clean, & comfy home
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!

Girls Trip
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.

Tamara’s home is very unique in its decor. She has covered the needed amenities very well. We were a girls weekend getaway but amenities offered will cover a family with children very well.

Great Loction
Nice classic home to stay in. There is a coop grocery with deli close by. Easy walk to downtown and the lake area. Stairs to the bedrooms a bit steep, but manageable as long as you are mobile enough.

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.

Cozy home base
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.

Cozy Home
It was a very cozy home with enough sleeping places for all 6 of our party. The one thing I didn’t realize is that owners have a separate place they stay in (essentially the basement). It had an entirely different entrance and we never actually saw them so it’s like they weren’t even there. But we didn’t expect there to be “quiet hours” (11pm) due to the booking being a house. As a bunch of young adults hanging out on New Years weekend, we had late nights hanging out and having fun. That being said we definitely were up and hanging out long past 11:00 pm and we never got any complaints from the owners, nor did we ever see them so it really didn’t hinder our experience, just surprised me is all. About the quiet hours, maybe that was stated elsewhere in the booking information and I didn’t see it. Still overall a great experience!

Lovely house
We loved the house, but we probably won’t stay there again. The house was super cute and has everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We loved the outdoor space and The bathroom seemed clean and updated. There are two rooms upstairs and one on the main level which with younger kids didn’t work that great for us. The stairs are very steep and the bathroom is on the main level. But the rooms were nice and had everything we needed. One downfall what that there seemed to be someone who lived in the basement. We think this because we heard music coming from the vents all day. It wasn’t too loud-but it was there. I guess we weren’t aware that anyone else was in the house. And even though they were separate we felt awkward and like we needed to be quieter than we would have felt in the house by ourselves. Overall the house and location were great!

Close to downtown!
Communication with owner was great, we asked for Iron, she brought us iron, I asked for a bike lock she brought me a bike lock. That was very nice of her. I believe she does live below the rental. We were there on a VERY hot weekend. Temps were >90 degrees everyday. This home has AC window units in 2 of the 3 bedrooms so one room was left without AC which was warm. Everything else was as advertised and if you plan on being out and about in Duluth this would be a good place to stay.

Cozy home with a great location for many Duluth attractions. Would definitely stay here again. Would have been a tight fit for sleeping arrangements for six, but with only three, it was comfy. Kind and communicative host.

Exactly what we were looking for
Being right in town, we were able to take the Lake Walk to Canal Park. Tamara was wonderful host and was quick to respond when we had to reach out. She also recommended a couple places nearby with creeks and waterfalls if we wanted to hike. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will plan to stay there again next time we travel to Duluth.

Hidden Gem!
Nestled into the hillside, has made a very cool historic home into a lovely space inside and out! If you appreciate the care and dedication that goes into modernizing a 150+ year home, you will love this adorable space. The outdoor space is amazing as well, with a grill fire pit and gardens galore. The house is squeaky clean and has e everything you’d need to function away from home. We loved our stay at Amber’s place and have already booked it again for next summer!

Hi All!
My cat Norman and I live in the basement of the house. I enjoy living in Duluth and doing all the outdoors actives. I like to do pottery and lampwork. I enjoy sharing our great city with all my guests.

Why they chose this property

I suppose I am biased but I have put tons of work into this house! I did most of it myself with some help from friends and my nephew Thomas. I think it is quaint and comfortable, love the backyard and the location!
Hope you enjoy it also!
