Family stay

We had a great getaway with our toddler and baby. The house was very clean and set up great for us. Sandy even had a pack and play that she had all set up and ready to go for us. We especially appreciated all of the toys and books!

Cozy & Warm

The home was a perfect place to relax through the snowstorm happening outside. Clean, comfortable and close to anything we needed. Plus our son got to see a beautiful wintery Gooseberry Falls for the first time, after many years of spending time on the fantastic North Shore!

Quiet Oasis

Great location in Two Harbors. Close enough to walk to a few businesses to take in the fresh air of the north shore. Home was perfectly sized to accommodate our needs. Home was clean with all the necessary things to keep you entertained if a day inside was needed.

Great place for a getaway

we were up in the area for family pictures and Fall break weekend - staying here helped us to have a comfortable place to rest our heads, get ready for pictures and explore the area. The house was so perfect for our family! The kids loved the ping pong table downstairs and we all enjoyed kicking back in the living room to wind down after a long day of hiking and exploring the nearby state parks. Thank you for providing a truly fantastic place to stay for the long weekend!
