Super friendly hosts and our stay on the boat was clean and comfy. The marina restroom area was on the funky side, but at least on par with an older campground.

The boat was very clean and the host provided everything we could possibly need. The cabin was very comfortable for sleeping.This was an interesting experience since we had never spent time on a boat like this. The location is only 8 miles away from the downtown Duluth waterfront and aerial lift bridge.

We didn’t get our check in details before our stay so we needed to contact the host directly for the codes etc. Once we got connected everything worked perfect. The boat was great, cozy and even with the muggy hot weather was comfortable to sleep.

What a unique and charming experience. Our hosts really make an effort to provide feel welcome. I fresh basket of flowers hung on the deck. Freshly bought supplies were in the kitchen and the place was incredibly clean. We will be back again. So fun to stay on a boat

I can’t possibly sing enough praise about this stay. I’ve only stayed on a boat one other time and this experience far surpasses the other in every category. The boat was well maintained. The location was refreshingly quiet. The hosts were absolutely wonderful. The only unfortunate part is my stay was so short and we were so busy with our tournament and convention at the DECC that I will definitely need to stay again sometime to really fully enjoy the experience. I would be comfortable and glad to bring my family up this location in the future; I know they’d love it also.

Cozy and Comfortable!

My partner and I were looking for a unique way to stay in Duluth to enjoy the fall colors and activities. I found this listing and took a leap of faith, as I didn’t know what to expect staying in a boat! Mandy and John exceeded all expectation, and were very accommodating in making it a great experience. The beds were so warm, even on the chilly nights, the amenities made it feel as comfortable as home, and the whole stay was just the sense of adventure and coziness we were looking for. The stars and sunsets/sunrises from the dock certainly didn’t hurt either :) Thank you for letting us stay on your boat! I thoroughly recommend this vrbo to anyone considering a unique experience in Duluth!
