The room was nice, but much smaller than the pictures lead me to believe. Our room was up three flights of stairs in the back corner of the house, so you should let people know there is no elevator. The clealiness was not great in our room, the whirlpool tub had a lot of hair in it and there were broken binders on the night table. Still gave it a four cause it was nice and an experience. Not to happy with yhe cleanliness of the room though.

Absolutely beautiful property. No one was present on site and I had to dig in my email to find key codes. It was good but a little disorienting.

We stayed at this property many times in the past as a B&B and were always happy with the condition and cleanliness. This stay, not so much. The room was dusty, the floor had paint chips scattered on the floor in the window area, the trim on the skylight window looked like it was about to fall off, and the water from the bathroom sink was brown. The color of the water did clear after running for about 10 minutes. The bathroom sink also drains very slowly. All of these items were minor, but if a room has not been rented in a while, it might be good practice to do a quick check before it is occupied. A positive for our room….the bed was very comfortable!

For starters, what a grand old house. The attention to details is a bit lacking for instance, the hair on the hardwood floor by the radiators, the dust on the bar fridge and ceiling fan. Topping it off was the 2 wet face clothes in the shower which was covered in hair along with the razor left for the next guest!!! Other than that the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were clean.....I think!!

This was a very cute well cared for property. The shower was strong and hot, and the bed was super comfortable. It’s really high off the ground though! In room coffee, glasses for whisky and wine, and a real corkscrew! Beautiful closed in porch for relaxing, and an huge open deck right outside our room. Nice furniture, fancy decor, and easy access. This boutique mansion was exactly what I wanted!

The property was absolutely beautiful! It’s on a quiet street with ample parking. My only complaint was the bathroom cleanliness. I found hair on the floor and in the shower and the tub was slow to drain.

Meticulously Detailed Retreat
This property was lovingly cared for, demonstrating good craftsmanship and tasteful detailing. It is located on a cul de sac, besides a stream. It is quiet. Even other guests and squeaky floors didn't disturb the peace, quiet, and serenity. Great neighborhood for walking around and viewing all the other mansions. Don't expect much in the way of breakfast and you will be very pleased with the accommodations.

Beautiful room
We had a wonderful stay at the GG Barnum Mansion in the Jay Cooke suite. The room was large and the bed was ver comfortable. The large shower was a dream we appreciated the little extra touches, like information about restaurants, filled ice cube trays, water bottles and although we didn’t use it—there was even a bag of microwave popcorn for us! I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re in Duluth.

Overall we had a great visit! The room and house was very clean and we really enjoyed the sauna! Only issues were parking the first night (no spaces because a trailer was occupying one space) and there was no coffee and limited breakfast items when we came downstairs (we aren’t early morning risers!). Location was good. We drove up on our motorcycle and took a ride up the north shore. Beautiful!

My son and I picked this property for our stay while he attended a football camp at UMD. It was close to everything we were looking to do and see. The place was clean and beautiful. My only complaints would be that when I booked, I booked a room with a jetted tub as my son was prepping for the camp and wanted to soak. When we arrived, there was only a stand up shower in our room. Second complaint was that we did not recieve the check in codes prior to our arrival and we had to call a few times to get through to talk to someone about getting the codes. After the long 6-hour drive, it was sort of a pain to have to stand outside and wait for someone to a. answer the call and b. be told it was sent but never was, so I had to call back again. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, clean and quiet place to stay.

This is an old mansion, so very unique with carved banisters and leather chairs. It also has very creaky floors. It is very quiet with no staff which is fine until you need them. The bed, a four poster, was lovely but I'm 5'9" and still needed a footstool to get in the thing. Over all a nice adventure. If you are into modern and having staff, this is not your place but if you want a unique experience that is quiet and out of the way then this place would be perfect.

The property is beautiful in a nice walking neighborhood. The house is amazing. Our room was nice with a comfortable bed and two cushy chairs for reading. Also had access to a rooftop seating area. Sadly, the bathroom looked very run down.The jetted tub didn’t work.The motor came on but it wouldn’t move the water. The drinking glasses were very water stained. In such a love place, that is something that is disappointing. Don’t count on breakfast if you plan to relax and sleep in. We got downstairs at 8 a.m. and there were 2 pieces of what looked like banana bread left. Not a big deal, we just went to a restaurant to eat. I would stay there again but choose a different room.
