Sandra was such a gracious host, communication was easy to understand. The home - because it felt like home - was super clean, cozy, cute and had everything we needed. I didn’t realize the basement had such a nice rec area. It was just my husband and me so we didn’t use the rec room but it would be great for a bigger family with kids. Parking was great - even had access to the garage!!! We will definitely stay here again.

Host profile image
We are lifers here- born and raised, having never wanted to leave. We enjoy the 4 seasons and everything they bring (even the snow-Especially the snow) Quiet, safe living is what we have enjoyed. Two Harbors was the perfect spot to raise our family. We never tire of the beautiful big lake scenery and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We had the opportunity to buy this property in 2021. We have poured our hearts into this house for someone else to enjoy a stay here in Two Harbors.

What makes this property unique

This home is quiet, yet close to all the activities here in town. The farmers market, groceries and the beach are a short drive away. The neighborhood is full of kind and friendly people. Be part of a small community for a short time, you will love it.
