There are restaurants, bars and coffee shops all within walking distance. Hop on the trail for a quick walk to my favorite, the Cedar Coffee shop.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at this VRBO and absolutely love how cozy this little house is for family visits. The owners did a wonderful job renovating the home and providing many little nooks and livings spaces for families to hang out, play games, and relax. We loved going in the Coop at night as well!
We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and extra blankets that were provided. It was clean, easy check in and the host was very responsive to our need of fixing something!
This is a very comfortable and beautiful place. It was very clean and comfortable. They had everything we needed. We did have a lot of trouble with the front lock not letting us in so we did have to go around to the back door a few times. This is definitely place that left us with some fond memories and we would look to come back to.
Very nice house that was close to the North Shore. Great location and very clean.

Yard was definitely not well kept, but the home, ease of check-in, and amenities were top-notch! Stunning home and the best rental I have ever stayed in! Highly recommend!
Was a very nice set up with everything you need for cooking. From a nice stove and cookware inside to a gas grill outside. All around nice place to stay! Would recommend to anyone! Very nice set up for fisher people with boats to park which is hard to find at alot of places.
Stayed a couple nights while visiting the north shore. House was clean, and as stated. Comfy, had everything we needed. Nice touch was a fun kids room under the stairs with colored lights, kept the kids busy after a long day of site seeing. Would visit again.
The cottage was the perfect place to spend an ‘up north’ weekend getaway.
Contactless check in made arrival seamless and the hosts were great to communicate with before and during our stay. The pictures are exactly what you’ll get when staying here, everything felt clean and modern. Loved that we were walking distance from a local coffee shop as well as close to the brewery and restaurants near by. We will absolutely recommend to friends and family and already are looking forward to our next stay here!
Everything was exactly as described. Very cute well appointed home. Bathrooms were enormous! Located very close to downtown Two Harbors. Easy drive up along the North Shore. Would stay again in a minute.

Hi Scott, We really appreciate your kind words and we are happy you enjoyed the cottage!
We have stayed in many houses on vacation and this was one of the best. Very clean and looked just like the pictures online. It was great for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Two Harbors is a cute little town and great location for visiting all the places on the north shore. We had a fun family vacation and enjoyed the house! Thanks!
We had a wonderful girls weekend! The weather may not have cooperated, but we found the cottage to be very comfortable, clean, and gave us a beautiful place to hang out, talk and catch up with one another.
Beautiful cottage, just like the pictures. We were in town for my nieces wedding on the beach of Lake Superior - Gooseberry Falls State Park. It was an awesome weekend! We grilled out, sat by a bonfire, and enjoyed family. The location is convenient walking distance to the water, lighthouse, restaurants and breweries. Great place for family and friends and making memories!
We loved this cottage! It was clean and cozy and had so many great extra features like the outside sitting area. Loved all the gnomes placed around the house and backyard. The only thing we had trouble with were the beds. They weren’t the most comfortable. But other than that, great place to stay!
For the most part we really enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice if there was A/C. The stairs were a little scary. We spent our evenings in the screened in area which was enjoyable. The neighborhood seemed pretty quiet. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals.
We were in town for a soccer tournament in Duluth.
Awesome location to both Duluth and two harbors.
We couldn't of been happier with the property. It had everything we needed and more.
My children LOVED the fun room under the stairs.
The hosts were wonderful to work with and there whenever you needed them.
I would recommend this property and stay again in a heart beat.
The cottage is so well kept and has beautiful furnishings.
Thank you John and Kerry we will be back!
We enjoyed our stay. Immentities were fine, beds good. Bath areas good. My husband and our son are both over six foot so they would of preferrred reclining chairs. Little Girls loved the cubby area ! We had fun finding the gnomes. Think we ended up with 15 if we counted the outside ones. All in all we had a pleasant stay. Thanks !
The property was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was perfect for our group as we planned to cook all of our meals. The home was beautifully decorated and it was a very comfortable stay for 6 adults with 2 kids. We had 1 minor hiccup with the shower but John/Mac took care of it within an hour of contacting them. John even bought us a round at Castle Danger Brewery for the small inconvenience :) It was easy to check in/out of the property; we would definitely book again!

Overall good. Wish it was air conditioned after the heat MN has had!
The toilet seat in master bedroom is very loose and would not tighten
Kitchen was very well stocked we wished that all the windows would open! Thank you
Pretty straight forward. We cooked often taking advantage of the fully stocked kitchen. No A/C. Luckily it was on the cooler side for most of our trip. Multiple fans allowed for air the circulate. Decor and quality of finishes was better than expected - not cheap like many short term rentals. Screened in gazebo was great! We were surprised by a skunk on more than one occasion. The owner may want to look into having someone trap it and relocate it. The only downside I can think of was that the cleaner was not finished by our 4:00pm check-in, but it wasn’t a big deal. Played some board games and there was plenty of propane to grill. Thanks for a great experience!
