Cozy home with all the conveniences

Had a great visit in Two Harbors and the North Shore. This home is so cozy and comfortable. Sandy has covered all the details - would Definitely stay again. Our friend from Florida was very impressed. The only thing we would have liked would be more television channels. The guys are huge baseball fans and could not watch the playoff. But that’s a minor detail. Thanks for wonderful visit

Fall on the North shore

We enjoyed our stay, we had everything we needed at the house after spending time enjoying all that the north shore has to offer. The ping pong table in the basement was a highlight and was enjoyed by the whole family.

Perfect for two!

We had a wonderful time! If this was the first VRBO a person stayed at they may be under prepared for what they get at future places. All the amenities as well as seasonings etc. My husband even grilled me a steak. It was very nice.

And So Much More

Of all the properties I have rented, this tops all of them in cleanliness, kitchen needs for cooking, extra towels and so much more. My sister and I loved our stay. There were nice chairs for relaxing in the backyard after a tiring day exploring the North Shore. The beds were great. The ping pong table was fun and hilarious (we are seniors and hadn't played in years)! Our thanks to the host!

Great place to stay

Fantastic place to stay for a North Shore trip. Close to many favorite places like Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse. The attention to details was over the top. Many little extras to make your stay easier. Like charging stations, toys and games too many to list. Definitely would stay here again

Details made this a gem

We loved this stop on our road trip. We stayed a couple nights. Able to do laundry, cook a few dinners and shower in a nice bathroom. From before you arrive you feel like this host understands travelers. After arrival, this feeling is solidified. The details in this house (both what is there and what is not there) make this place a gem! Host responded quickly with a question we had and really was a 5 star host!!!

Perfect for Heritage Days

My brother and I were in town for class reunion events associated with Heritage Days. We found this cute little house and knew just where we’d find it. For us, the location and setup were just perfect. The house was immaculate and had thoughtful touches like snacks and coffee. The host was very helpful and responsive so overall it was all good!
