A great property with a fun hiking trail down to the river, water was low enough we spent a few hours hiking the river. Cottage was warm and cozy, clean and inviting. A great place to stay splitting the difference between Duluth and north shore sites

We are so happy you enjoyed our wonderful river trail; easy access to Lake Superior beaches and our sweet Wildwood Cottage. Lots of love went into the design and building of the cottage and art created by local artists adds so much. We sincerely hope you’ll return next trip to the North Shore! Your hosts, Rita and Amy

We had a wonderful time at Wildwood with our family of 6. The cottage is tucked in the woods, with privacy and great views. It is very clean, with all the necessities we needed for our stay. The cottage is maintained extremely well, with beautiful furnishings and decor. We hiked the trails and explored the river. Amy and Rita were perfect hosts and made sure we had all we needed for our stay. We can’t wait to return to Wildwood.

Gorgeous, but comfortable property which had us conveniently located for travels to Duluth or heading up along the North Shore. We had plenty of space for our family of 6 to spread out. The house was clean and perfectly decorated. The hosts were gracious and great with communication. Definitely recommend this for your family’s next stay.

We had a great stay at Wildwood Cottages! I reached out to the host prior to our arrival and they were able to accommodate a simple request before we even got there. A bulb went out in the bathroom and they replaced it right away. Our whole family was excited about the river and waterfalls that were within walking distance. We could hear the rushing of the waterfalls before we could even see it! We saw several deer during our stay, some right outside the living room window. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The home is right between Two Harbors and Duluth. Will definitely stay again!
