We had a wonderful time staying at this VRBO…it truly is a relaxing retreat in the woods!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better for our large group. I would definitely recommend this house as we talked about staying here for our next get together.

Great Home in the Woods!

This property was secluded, modern, updated, clean and had many amenities including modern appliances, a pool table, great deck with fire table, where we watched deer feeding in the woods with our morning coffee. We were a group of twelve in Duluth for our youngest daughter's graduation from UMD and we had plenty of room to spread out. It checked all the boxes for us. Our host Heather was very responsive and good with communication. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a secluded, modern property.

Excellent property and management

We really enjoyed our stay at the relaxing retreat in the woods. The property was perfect and the communication with Heather was exceptional. She even provided recommendations for activities. We really appreciated the extra touch of her adding a Christmas Tree to the property. It was such a pleasant experience.

House was very nice. Hosts were very responsive to our needs. The oven stopped working during our stay and they showed up with a new one before we needed it again!Unfortunately, we did need a home without scents, as several of our family have allergies. Although we discussed this with the hosts before we arrived, the house still had air fresheners in the house and the bedding had been washed with scented detergent. I'm sure this is not an issue for most people, but if you are looking for a scent-free VRBO, this home might not be for you.The house did sleep our party with room to spare although we did run out of hot water when we were all trying to get ready in the morning.VRBO is on a very quiet rural road. If you're wanting a quiet get-away, this would meet your needs. It's not too far from Duluth and we were also able to get to the North Shore easily.

Away from home

This rental property is bit far away from actual Duluth but having big lot and surrounded by lot is trees was nice. This house has good layout and bedrooms are good size. Overall this was great property and we had great time. Only thing was concerning was there was pet hair all over floor, carpet, and bedroom blanket when we arrived.

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!

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!

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!

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!
