Nice, clean home...odd location

The place itself is beautifully kept. Everything was clean and comfortable. The place is spacious. You can tell the owners have put a lot of care into it. The location is fine; definitely on the edge of Duluth. The kitchen overlooks an RV campground.

Holiday Vacation

We rented this house for a quick family vacation. Worked perfectly for our family. Large rooms, large house, plenty of chairs, and sitting space. Just what we needed for our stay. Plenty of room for parking. Our group had 4 vehicles. We would stay here again if we come back to this area.

House was perfect for 6 ladies. Mirrors and lights at the three upstairs desks would help to provide makeup and hair styling stations to free up the bathrooms. But that is minor detail not needed by all. House was quiet and we felt safe.

A Hidden Gem

Trailhouse is a very appropriate name for this hidden gem! It's roomy, well stocked and the perfect location for visiting parks or MTB trails. Plenty of parking, comfy beds and a stocked kitchen means you'll be cooking up some delish meals after your adventure. With 2 TVs your group could break off and watch their own movies. The hosts are very informative and the listing was accurate. Any questions were answered quickly and they offered up activities to help make sure we were having a good time. We'll be back for sure!

The house was well equipped and comfortable for our party of nine. It is a twenty or so minute drive from downtown Duluth, but the roads were good and traffic was light. It was very quiet at the house so that’s was a plus.

The property was clean and bright, and was well set up for a group stay. Having 5 bedrooms and three bathrooms was luxurious…plenty of space for us to spread out, and get ready to go without being in each other’s way. The kitchen was well stocked, we found everything we needed for food prep and clean up. The large table was well lit, perfect for meals, games and jigsaw puzzling. We would definitely rent this property again.
