Beautiful stay

We had an amazing stay at the Lester retreat! It is perfectly located near the town but far enough away to feel situated in wilderness. We were especially thankful for the large backyard and activities for our kids to run and play. Hot tub was an added bonus. We were pleasantly surprised to have two bathrooms at the property. Check in process was a breeze and the property managers were very communicative and helpful throughout our stay.

In Duluth for Trampled by Turtles. First friend vacation. All 9 of us fit comfortably. We were pleasantly surprised to find a second bathroom. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!
