Room for everyone
We were here over Thanksgiving to spend time with family in the area. Everyone had a bed and space to hang out. Kitchen had everything we needed. Table big enough to seat 10 people. One bedroom is like a library with a ladder and shelves of books. Nice art on the walls. Exposed brick. Two floors. Most importantly two car spaces in the attached garage as this is in a busy downtown area. Parking limited. I have rented many homes over the years and this one is one of the most unique.

Great place in a prime location of the city
The house was spacious, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all of the reading spots throughout the house and the seating area by the fireplace was really cozy. We had a bit of a snafu with check-in, however we were able to get the issue resolved and the property manager was great to work with.

Good experience!
Only two recommendations would be to get the wooden sliding doors fixed on the main floor, and get the hot water heater to be a bit more consistent. Upstairs shower took forever to get warm, and then when it did it got so hot you could not use it.. Sounds like the other shows struggled to get good temp water too. Otherwise the house was clean, nice, and set up well!

Connecting with Canadian Friends
Paddle North Retreat was everything & more we'd hoped for. We had 2 couple from the twin cities & 2 couple from Canada. Duluth was a good 1/2 way point & this big house was the perfect place for 8! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and cook all our meals. The large dining room table was perfect for all the games we played. The bedrooms were amazing! The host was super attentive and responded to my questions right away. I would recommend Paddle North Retreat over and over again!

Great location, gorgeous historical home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this grand and beautifully-restored historical home. The architecture is a cool mix of old and new and renovations are high-end. Since we were there during a late-November cold snap, we really appreciated the two-car garage just steps away through the courtyard. The quality kitchen is fully equipped and the entire place was spotless. We were really impressed with how clean it was. While most of us relaxed in the living room in front of the fire, our daughter took advantage of the cardio equipment in the exercise room. The sauna in the primary bathroom was appreciated too. When we bundled up and headed out, Canal Park was a short walk away. We will definitely book this special place the next time our family returns to Duluth!
