Incredible views of Lake Superior, Canal Park, and the Aerial Lift Bridge. 4 bedroom/3 bath, fully furnished penthouse with parking ramp directly across the street. The Borealis House (formerly known as Blacklist Suites) is located on Superior St. in Downtown Duluth with a pedestrian bridge path and garden directly behind the building connecting you to Canal Park and the Duluth Lake Walk.
This open and accommodating penthouse with a rooftop deck and four season room overlooks Lake Superior and Canal Park. The roof top deck provides a great space to enjoy a sunny Duluth day and your favorite beverage. The condo has been completely redone (2019) and all furnishings and appliances are brand new. This unit is 100% dedicated to VRBO stays so you never have the feel that you're staying in someone else's home. This is a top floor unit and has a private and secure elevator to the suite. Two rooms have King beds, one room has a queen bed, and one bedroom has a twin bed and full bed. (No bunks!)

Had such a great time staying here with a group of friends! Would definitely recommend, amazing location and views of the lake. Alicia was very helpful and a great host!
We had a great time. Location was perfect for us. Walking distance to canal park. Coffee shop/ bakery in the building. Close to the north shore and the west Duluth night life.
This property is absolutely beautiful. The communication was detailed and timely including an after hour check in process and parking instructions. The location allowed us to walk to some delicious restaurants and bars as well as had amazing views while spending time in the property. It was well stocked with dishes and the coffee/tea bar had a lot of variety. The property pictures represented the atmosphere and the furniture was in great condition and comfortable. A wonderful stay and we have all saved this location for future trips to the area.
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was a gorgeous flat and the host thought of every thing, even down to the toliet paper! No single ply here! ! We will definitely stay here again. All the comforts of home and better.
We absolutely loved the facility. They thought of everything that you might need. The parking was a little sketchy as one of our people were handicapped. Also unloading our belongings was very creative.
I stayed at this spacious condo with four friends. From check in to check out, everything was perfect! Alicia was helpful and responded quickly. The space was clean, comfortable and furnished with everything a traveler needs. Easy access to shops, restaurants and the boardwalk! I will definitely be staying again!
We spent Christmas at this Condo and had a great holiday. The condo has charming bedrooms and great spaces for spending time together. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals. We loved the sunroom at the top of the stairs with an amazing view of the city and Lake Superior! The host had great communication throughout, and check in/out was a breeze. Our visit to this condo will be a great family memory!
The condo was everything we thought it would be. It was awesome and my friends raved about it. The entire check in process was great and Alicia was very nice to work with. Beautiful property. You will not believe how great it is until you are there. We will definitely stay here again and also tell others about it. Thank you.
This property is amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. You can see the lake from the main floor and the upstairs balcony had an excellent view! This property is above a bakery, so you will smell baked goods 24/7. The property is super spacious and had all the conveniences of home, including fans and sound machines
in the bedrooms.
Everything was exactly how we imagined it to be, and exceeded expectations. Had a group in town for a long weekend, and would stay here again. It’s close to everything, and as a downtown area it can also attract some “strange” people to the area. Overall a great experience.
Three family members and I spent four nights in this condo. It worked out perfectly as a base for fishing on Lake Superior and exploring the North Shore. The unit itself was clean, modern, and very comfortable. The kitchen and lounging areas (including the upstairs roof deck) were great. Restaurants and bars were within easy walking distance, and the lake views were great.
Communication also was prompt and easy. Check in was a breeze. We always got quick responses to questions.
I highly recommend this condo!
You can tell from the photos in the listing that this is a great condo. I can say that this place is even better in person. First, it’s huge. Along with 3 bed 3 bath, there are two living rooms, a large dining area, gorgeous kitchen, and a cozy room at the top of the building with amazing views! The beds are comfortable. The location is fantastic. If you stay there, don’t miss out on Duluth Coffee Company across the street. Highly recommend.
One small issue is that we did get some noise in the night that seemed to be coming from the roof. It was mostly in just one bedroom. So you might take ear plugs.

About the host
Hosted by Alicia Lillegard
I spent my summers for over 20 years working at my grandfather's small family vacation resort in Northern Minnesota, and now manage rental properties in the Duluth/Superior area. (You can bet I won't ever leave a mess for housekeeping where I travel!) Our Aurora House Condo is special because it belongs to our family! The rest of the year I am a wife, mom, handy-woman, and private math tutor. My hobbies include juggling, waterskiing, and DIY home-improvement projects.
What makes this property unique
The Borealis House has a spacious interior, unique bird's eye view of the Duluth and Lake Superior, hotel quality bedding, JW Marriot beds, and has a location that can't be beat. The condo is located steps away from Lake Superior, Canal Park, Fitgers Brew House, the DECC/Amsoil Arena, Bayfront Park, Blacklist Brewery, Fond-du-Luth Casino, The Greysolon Ballroom, and various restaurants. <-- All of that within 1.0 miles from our front door.
