Great place to stay

Fantastic place to stay for a North Shore trip. Close to many favorite places like Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse. The attention to details was over the top. Many little extras to make your stay easier. Like charging stations, toys and games too many to list. Definitely would stay here again

Cozy, comfy & adorable

We loved our stay. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Loved the location. It was close enough to spend a day in Duluth and close enough to spend a day driving up the North Shore. Two harbors also had a lot to offer. Our host was amazing to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy and Bob Wuorio

We are lifers here- born and raised, having never wanted to leave. We enjoy the 4 seasons and everything they bring (even the snow-Especially the snow) Quiet, safe living is what we have enjoyed. Two Harbors was the perfect spot to raise our family. We never tire of the beautiful big lake scenery and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We had the opportunity to buy this property in 2021. We have poured our hearts into this house for someone else to enjoy a stay here in Two Harbors.

What makes this property unique

This home is quiet, yet close to all the activities here in town. The farmers market, groceries and the beach are a short drive away. The neighborhood is full of kind and friendly people. Be part of a small community for a short time, you will love it.
