Hi Maddy, thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! I’m so happy to hear you had such a wonderful stay and enjoyed your time with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back again anytime! – Paula, Heirloom Vacations
We absolutely LOVED this place! Seven adults, three kids ages 5 - 9 and we did not feel cramped at all. The porch was excellent for a family night of Yahtzee. It feels like you are a long drive away from Duluth, but it takes 15-20 minutes to get to Canal Park. I would highly recommend this for a family get away.
Great for all ages! Yard was beautiful. Location was great for a quiet secluded area but still easy to access all things

Thank you so much, Cassie! I’m so happy your whole group had a wonderful stay and was able to enjoy the peaceful setting while still being close to everything. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! - Paula, Heirloom Vacations
The location is perfect! Feels like you're in the sticks, but you're 10 minutes from everything. The yard is beyond gorgeous. It was too hot for a fire, but the pit area is really unique. The house is clean, and there's AC units in every room. Didn't need to cook, but they have everything you need. Lots of rooms, lots of beds, plenty of hangout spaces. Really pleased with the whole thing.

Strider, thank you so much for this amazing review! I’m thrilled you got the best of both worlds, a peaceful getaway without being far from everything. It also makes me so happy knowing everyone had plenty of room to spread out and feel at home. Hopefully, your next visit brings cooler weather so you can enjoy the fire pit, too! We’d love to welcome you back anytime. - Paula, Heirloom Vacations
A great place to spend a cozy winter holiday with friends!

Stayed at this property to ski at Spirit and hang out in Duluth. Nice location for access to both and enjoyed hiking around the property too. Plenty of space for our big group.

Claudia - I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Serenity Cottage. It’s a beautiful spot, and it’s great to know you were able to take advantage of the outdoors, exploring everything that Duluth has to offer. If your travels bring you back to the area, I’d be honored to host you once more!

This was a great place to stay. Lot's of parking and we felt by ourselves. The house was clean and well stocked with the little things you forget to bring. The large table was so awesome for playing games and hanging out with others by the living room. The sauna was not working but they compensated us with no issues. We would stay here again !!!
Four friends got together for a much-needed relaxation weekend. It was easy to get to, easy to get to other places, and lots of space for us. The only thing we missed was using the sauna. Having directions posted how it worked, or if it wasn't available would have been nice. The kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of rooms/beds and we would stay again.

Thank you for the lovely review! We are here to help you plan your next adventure. Reach out anytime in the future.
The home is clean, the gardens are absolutely beautiful, and the property management was very communicative. Just down the street is a beautiful park with a new playground for children and walking trails. However, the house has not been updated in many years and it’s pretty basic bones. Unless you are taking full advantage of using it to host 10 or 11 people, you will likely find it overpriced for the quality of the home. It was a lovely stay. It’s simply priced quite high for a property that hasn’t been updated in decades.

Jessica, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed the gardens and nearby park. We appreciate your feedback and will take this into consideration. We hope to have the chance to host you again.
I stayed with 5 of my college girl friends. We absolutely loved the cottage. It has such unique charm and character. It was clean with all the little touches dialed in. Everything from shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup remover to plenty of outlets, bedside lamps, cozy blankets, fireplace, a well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable with new bedding and plenty of sleeping space. Lots of parking. Quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay again!!

Serenity Cottage had lots of great spaces for everyone in our group to hang out, both indoors and out.Our one issue was that there didn't seem to be enough hot water. One morning there seemed to be no hot water at all. We called and someone came out promptly to address the issue. But even then with one person in the basement shower, very little hot water was left for the first floor shower.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad the cottage provided ample space for your group to relax. We apologize for the hot water issue and appreciate your patience while we addressed it during your stay. Since then we have actually replaced that water heater to assure this does not continue to happen for future guests.
We loved the property and beautiful gardens surrounding the house. The location felt like you were out in the country, but you are 10-15 minutes from anything you’d need. Keene Creek Park is a short walk down the road and there is an Artesian well along the way. Great trails for walking, hiking and biking nearby. The accommodations in the house were good. The bedrooms upstairs can be challenging to regulate the temp during hotter weather and not having a bathroom on the upper level can be an inconvenience for “older folks”. We would definitely return to continue exploring all of the great outdoor activities that Duluth and North Shore have to offer. P. S. I did have a chance to meet the property owner when he came over to put out the garbage cans. He was very pleasant and we had a nice chat about the “old country.”

Doug, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad you appreciated the gardens, location, and nearby trails. We appreciate your feedback about the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom layout, and will keep it in mind. It’s great to hear you enjoyed meeting the owner and sharing stories. We look forward to welcoming you back to explore more of Duluth and the North Shore.
This property has a lot of potential. Upon arrival the beautiful flower gardens greet you. Cell service at this location is minimal to none and you have to sign into their WiFi. If you’re here to disconnect then you’re good. Our group ran into issues with the house not being properly cleaned, by the management company, and we spent part of the second day cleaning and vacuuming. Once that was behind us we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit area that night and the front porch the next day for our morning coffee. The air conditioning is individual room air conditioners, with the exception of one upstairs bedroom that does not have any air conditioning. The beds, we found, are very firm.Please note that there are moisture sensor alarms in the basement, this was not indicated in the listing at the time of our renting.The house is a spacious, older, well loved home. With a good top to bottom cleaning, and moisture management for the basement, this house will be a great retreat.

Jackie – Thank you for your detailed feedback and for recognizing the charm of the property. We apologize for the cleaning issues you encountered and appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can address it with our team to ensure future stays meet the highest standards. We understand the importance of clear communication and will update our listing to better inform guests about the moisture alarms and the air conditioning setup. It’s good to hear you enjoyed the outdoor spaces despite these challenges. Your insights are valuable as we continue improving the home to provide a comfortable and relaxing retreat.
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the hill, this spacious home was just right for our family getaway to Duluth and the North Shore. The sauna in the basement was a huge bonus. We went for a sweat each evening of our stay. The house is well-located for easy access to downtown Duluth and the lakeshore, bakeries, coffeshops, cafes, and more.The living room had the perfect layout for the family to have extended evenings by the gas fireplace, which provided ample warmth.As an added bonus, the home is almost entirely surrounded by forest (Keane Creek Park). Very quiet and beautiful.The owners are very prompt with snow removal; we experienced a minor blizzard (8 inches of snow) during our stay, and someone had already plowed the street and driveway by the time we were preparing to head out for the day.Check-in was easy, with clear instructions from the owners and a few reminders on the door before we entered.The only thing worthy of mention for future vacationers is to beware of google maps when entering the address. It does not bring you to the right location. This is not a big deal at all, but we are just mentioning that here. Check with the hosts about finding the right place.A stay. We will gladly visit this beautiful home again with friends and family.
