About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a mile up from Lake Superior located in the middle of Duluth!

Urban Silent Sports Retreat is a house built in 1908 with all original wood floors, that is centrally located a mile up from beautiful Lake Superior. This spacious three bedroom, full bath and a half house with full unfinished basement and attached garage has plenty of safe storage for your bicycles, Nordic skis, canoe's and kayaks! Basement is set up for waxing your Nordic skis and we have some bikes and Nordic skis available for renters.

We are opening another rental June 1st near Wisconsin Point ! 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom sleeps 4 and we can rent it for just one night unlike this one!

If you are looking for posh, planning to party, smoke at all, do drugs or drink excessively, you'll have to find a different place to rent.

If you want a very quiet house in a nice established neighborhood to use as your home base while you paddle the rivers, bike, run, hike or ski the trails of Outdoor Magazine's top outside town, this is your place!

Home, with much of it's original woodwork, is located less than a mile from Chester Bowl and Bagley which have both running, mountain biking, and Nordic ski trails.

The home is just blocks from being on the Duluth Traverse, less than a mile from Chester, Leif Erickson, and Bagley. We are centrally located so you can quickly get to Spirit Mountain, Superior Hiking Trail, and so, so, so much more!!!

Your hosts spend most of their free time on the numerous trails and bodies of water in the area and would love to share their knowledge with you to help you plan your excursions!

Limit of 7 people, pets only upon approval, $75 pet fee.

Our home is a safe, secure, licensed rental PL20-089 .

Check in is after 3pm and check out is 10 am unless we are vacant after you, then you are welcome to stay all day, just ask us...we are super flexible if it's empty before or after! We recently updated the decor in the entire home, replaced quite a bit of the furniture, and got a new stove!

The house was clean and well appointed. It was in a great location with easy access to downtown. It was nice to have a garage, so we didn't have to park on the street. Loved the football theme. I have a lot of family in Wisconsin...go Packers!

Duluth Stay

The communications with the owners was excellent -- they were very nice, responsive, and answered all our questions. They even went out of the way to gather more information about the marathon route for us. The property is very centrally located to Duluth and easy to get to - this is definitely a plus! The house was very clean. Liked that there was a coffee pot, lots of towels, some snacks. Cute place!

Totally met our needs for our stay! Hosts communicated well in a timely manner. Place was clean & well appointed but is definitely an older home—floors are very creaky & wouldn’t recommend for light sleepers.

Nice Family Home

We chose this house because it is a similar layout to my grandparents' former home, which is a few blocks away. This is an older house in a quiet neighborhood, all the amenities of home, definitely not a hotel. Great selection of games and books and Up North Wisconsin decor. Kitchen has more dishes than you could ever need. There aren't cabinets available to stash your food while you stay, but there is some counter space and the garage has space to put your emptied cooler and boxes or bags.
