All was terrific and as advertised! One suggestion: Paint the Gales sidewalk’s one step either yellow or red or anything other than white. White was tough to see in snow, even after we shoveled the walk.

We were very impressed by how well the units were stocked. Every conceivable pot, pan and utensil was available for our use. The unit was very clean and the locations was perfect! Convenience to the grocery store was amazing. We didn't utilize them, but there were two kayaks available for guest use. We did use the lakeside fire pit as well as the propane heater on the porch. You could probably find a less expensive VRBO listing, but you would be hard pressed to find a better unit. I give this property my highest recommendation.

Sometimes when you book a VRBO, the pictures sure look better than the actual place. Not the case here! This place was SO amazing!! The location, the amenities, the view, the rooms, etc. My adult children absolutely adored it, wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place! 12/10 stars!!

Spectacular View on Lake Superior

The location was superb, the proximity to get to everything was spot-on. The cleanliness and updated amenities and bathrooms were appreciated. The towels and bedding and beds were clean and comfortable for a 4-night stay. We used the dishes to make meals and loved the ice-maker in the fridge. Definitely felt like enough room for the 4 of us in that space and close to everything we experienced in and near Duluth. The only suggestion I would have is to get a different/bigger couch in the main living area, that one was smaller than a futon and uncomfortable for a full grown adult. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Would love to stay again someday!

Beautiful

A lot of thoughtful attention clearly went into designing and furnishing this lovely property, and it's obvious that the hosts prioritize ease and comfort for guests. It's cozy, quiet, and restful. The rooms and kitchen are well provided -- far more than everything we needed. And the light! The view out of all the big windows overlooking the lake was fabulous. It was unfortunately a bit too cold for us to take full advantage of the outdoor area; in warmer weather, we absolutely would have enjoyed the patio and a fire.
