Beautiful

A lot of thoughtful attention clearly went into designing and furnishing this lovely property, and it's obvious that the hosts prioritize ease and comfort for guests. It's cozy, quiet, and restful. The rooms and kitchen are well provided -- far more than everything we needed. And the light! The view out of all the big windows overlooking the lake was fabulous. It was unfortunately a bit too cold for us to take full advantage of the outdoor area; in warmer weather, we absolutely would have enjoyed the patio and a fire.

Perfect place - 3 couples fit well. Kitchen was well-equipped so we had breakfasts and a supper there. Easy access to get to Bentleyville and the Glensheen Mansion. Loved listening to Lake Superior and watching the steam off the lake because of the cold!!

Great experience at the Gales!

We had a wonderful stay at the Gales! It was the perfect location for our group of 6.We met our adult children and their significant others for a holiday weekend. The house was clean and had everything we could ask for. The view was breathtaking and we were able to enjoy fun time together as a family while also having space for everyone to sleep and relax. If another trip to Duluth is in our future, we will definitely stay again and likely for longer. Thank you for an amazing family weekend and lots of wonderful memories made!
