Loved the Location

Charming old house, wonderful location for the Duluth area. We loved proximity to beach and canal park. House was very clean. Both bathrooms in house are upstairs just a note for people with mobility issues, Property owner quickly responded when we had an issue with it being too hot in house due to previous renter's scheduled settings on smart thermostat. We had a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed it very much, its very quaint and comfortable with beautiful access to the lake.

This home is the boyhood home of our Father and my Sister and I were very excited to be able spend a couple of days at the home. The birdbaths from over 77 years ago are still in the same place - amazing. The home has been well kept and mondernized to today's standards. There is a very nice fire pit adjacent to the home and although we did not use it It certainly is a nice touch for a family to enjoy themselves around a roaring fire. The home is very comfortable, very clean and we had a most enjoyable stay.

Stayed during January and still leaving a big thumbs up!

Duluth is cold in January... duh!! This place was cozy for sure. It's location is absolutely the best, but in January we weren't outside much. We came to Duluth for a wedding and had several individual needs and a large group (6 adults and two dogs). This place was perfect and allowed for us all to have our own space. Bill was available for all questions too. Games on-site and that helped to make a fabulous weekend.

Fun and Funky

This was a fun place to stay. Great location with a trail from the house right to the beach. Well equipped kitchen and lots of games for the family. The cottage was liked by the young adult who chose to sleep out there. Not an issue for us but both bathrooms in the house are on the second floor. The cottage has a bathroom that does not require stairs, but you need to go outside to get to the cottage. It is very close to the Lift Bridge area attractions. It was a great place for us, and we enjoyed the eclectic decorating.

bentleyville weekend

We had a fun time going to see the lights at Bentleyville. We enjoyed the home. There were a few items that we thought needed help. First there were too many rugs along the floors. We did pull them up when we were they. We thought that with the age of the adults staying there this would me more of a tripping hazard then anything. Another item that was the rocks in the shower were very slippery. I know that there is not much that can be done for this just maybe put a cute sign up. The last item was more my issue. I didn't see until the end that we could have used the other cottage in the back. We had two people sleep out the day bed in the attic and we could have used the cottage in the back. Overall it was a nice stay and would like to maybe rent again in the summer.

Duluth family vacation

We loved the fact that we had access to the beach and Lake Superior! It was close to downtown so liked that we could go see the sights and get back quickly. The ceiling fans were beneficial when there wasn't a breeze or we didn't want to hear the early morning traffic. A plug in fan for the upstairs open bedroom area would be helpful. It was wonderful when we could open the windows for a nice breeze. With the extra cottage we had lots of space for everyone. Loved the fire pit. The door to the cottage needs to be fixed, it was stuck and hard to open. Tile is coming off the floor near the shower in the cottage which could rot the sub floor. The shower curtain had mildew on it and should be changed. My son was looking forward to playing the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 but it didn't work. We had a great time in Duluth.

Great house and cottage in a perfect location to experience the beach and Duluth!

We had plenty of space for our big family, the house was well stocked with very easy check-in and check-out. It was a great place to stay overall - especially for walking a short distance to the beach!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Michels

Host profile image
We are a Twin Cities architect and artist who are always thrilled to spend family time in Duluth. The House and Cottage on Park Point is our little place away from home to do that. We have enjoyed remodeling and updating the house and cottage and turning it into a comfortable home with a relaxing livable atmosphere. It's given us the opportunity to do something a little different that we can share with everyone else.

Why they chose this property

The beach is like nothing else in this part of the country, it's like being at the ocean. The water is warm enough to swim in, you can walk forever, and the infamous MN mosquito's are practically non existent because of the breezes off the lake. It's certainly a bonus to be a 15 minute walk down the beach to Canal Park or a short drive to the North Shore of Lake Superior.

What makes this property unique

We are just a bit unique in that there are two units we rent together. Put the kids in one or even grandma if she prefers to have her own quarters. Sometimes it's just a fight to see who gets the cottage!

And of course the location- beach, Canal Park, Lake Superior, the North Shore, restaurants...!
