NOT A 'PARTY HOUSE'

Gentlemen...does she keep telling you to come up with something for your anniversary, or her birthday, Guys! Call me...I can help you plan something that will have her marveling at your thoughtfulness and bragging to her friends. You can do it, I can help. Call. Theresa at 218-310-4721

This home is not rented as a 'party house'. There are guest limits. Suited for responsible groups, families, church groups, ladies retreats, or scrap booking party, Birthdays, and nature lovers. Celebrate mom and dads 50 anniversary with a family getaway, Business trip?... Bring the whole family. Just minutes from local hospitals - Extend your stay in comfort while visiting loved ones, or have peace and quiet while you recover from illness or loss. Is your house is too small for all the kids to come home? Gather all your adult children and their growing families and enjoy a holiday or anytime in this home away from home.

Enjoy family time with the little ones or teens, cooking together in the fully equipped kitchen, going hiking, water rafting, rock climbing, skiing, shopping, kayaking, fishing and exploring all that the Duluth area has to offer. This house allows you to be creative. Don't hesitate to call with questions.

The adventure is right in your own back yard!: This home offers so much history and comfort, while still providing an outdoor adventure. The yard is a 1/2 city block with an array of trees and plant life. Deer are often seen walking through to nibble on the apple trees and occasional a friendly fox pounces around. It may be rare, but you may even sight a curios black bear.

The yard boarders on a creek with lovely waters falls, paths, bridge and a occasional bench to sit on and just take it all in. In the winter this area is breathtaking. Large sheets of frozen water cling to the cliff walls, the air is crisp and fresh. The paths are always used, but not over used. Just perfect.

Graduation Weekend

The house was perfect for our group of 11. The large deck was a great place to hangout and relax while celebrating our son’s graduation from UMD. The setting was private but only a 10 minute drive to Canal Park. Our host was wonderful and very responsive.

Shopping in Duluth, trips to local breweries, hiking on the Northshore & a magical stroll through the festive Bentleyville - delightful!We were warmly welcomed by host, Theresa & provided with clear information re: the home.

Annual family gathering

We were a group of 4 sisters who gathered with our spouses and adult children from all over the country (CA to Boston and TX to MN and in between). The house provided a great location for indoor and outdoor visiting, group meals and games. We really liked the location including the pathway to to beautiful walk along the river.

Host profile image
I have been sharing the Hawthorne Manor since 2011 and absolutely love it. We lived here prior to offering the home to others as a vacation home, and have had so many great gatherings of friends and family members over the years. There is just something special about this home. I am thrilled to have so many repeat guests. It means a lot to me that the home will meet their expectations.
