Yurt in Two Harbors
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 233 reviews

Glamping, Heated, Sauna, Wifi, Quiet, Pet Friendly

MarlaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This place was great!!! The hosts gave clear, detailed instructions about the place and did small things like prepare a wagon for luggage and set out treats when we first arrived that made us feel very welcomed! The yurt itself was beautiful and we were in awe of it the entire time. We loved the location: it was close to town, but far enough away to feel like you’re off the grid. The amenities were so fun, the foldable kayaks were a treat to use and were very easy to figure out! The hosts were super helpful and responsive too when we had questions. Loved this place so much and hope to be back again sometime ❤️

Hillside Tiny Home with Private Sauna

MaddyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The perfect place to get away for a weekend - easily located between the main state parks along the North Shore. Winter still offered a load of activities including snowshoeing trails nearby, skiing at Lutsen Mountain, and relaxing in the sauna after a day of chilly activities. The hosts were very responsive and provided clear direction in advance for accessing the stay and using the amenities. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy Parkplace Cabin

TroyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We got married in Duluth and this is our 3rd time staying at Parkplace and we loved it! I asked if we could check in a little early and Daniel confirmed that would be fine. Our two dogs love the cozy cabin and being able to go on walks everyday on the trail along the beautiful Lake Superior. Parkplace will always have a special place in our hearts!

Great neighborhood with restaurants and shops in walking distance. Not far from other parts of town that we wanted to see. Appreciated multiple parking spots we could use as street parking got full around the area.

Applegate Cottage - South Shore of Lake Superior

JaronRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Staying at this Airbnb was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how well-equipped and comfortable the place was. It truly had everything you could think of and more. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and then some, making it easy to have a cup of coffee or heat up a meal! The living spaces were cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The attention to detail was evident everywhere. There were thoughtful touches like extra blankets, a variety of board games, and even a selection of books! The host went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, providing toiletries, laundry supplies, and even brochures of things to do nearby! The location was fantastic, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. Overall, this Aironb exceeded all expectations and made for a truly memorable stay. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Eric was very easy to work with and accommodated an earlier check-in and the later checkout. The house was very clean. It was perfect for myself, my daughter and our dog. Easy access to freeway and downtown Duluth. Would have loved to use the fireplace, but the weather did not cooperate. Everything you need is there. We enjoyed our stay!! Thank you!

We had beautiful few days here. It is a great location between Duluth and split rock light house. Dan and Sylvia were amazing hosts and incredibly accommodating. We would definitely stay here again instead of a hotel in Duluth for 3-4 people.

Secluded woods/lakeshore home, complete amenities

BenjiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is our third year staying at this AirBnB and we love it. It has plenty of space for our family and is beautiful and peaceful. The game room is great for the kids and we enjoy cozying up around the fireplace and playing games around the table. There’s a small hill for the younger kids to sled down and we hike around the lake when the weather is cold. Thanks for letting us use your place and we look forward to staying their again!

Nature Retreat in the City near UMD

IliaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It's in the basement. But still a great place for the nature lovers. Saw the duck family at the creek and a couple of deers on the other side of the creek. Comfortable furniture. Well equipped kitchen. Wish the windows were a little bit lower to enjoy the view.

Ino Inn - Your Gateway to the Northwoods!

ColleenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This cabin was in a beautiful, private and peaceful location. Hiking trails are available on the property. There are many hiking trails to different waterfalls within a reasonable driving distance away. Scott was very responsive with communication. I made the mistake of not realizing that all the beds are twin bunk beds. I, for whatever reason, assumed the bunks to be either full or queen bunk beds as I have experienced at another cabin. Again my mistake. I would recommend staying at Scott’s Ino Cabin.

HellerRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Five friends had a great stay at The Trailhouse. We spent time at an event in Duluth, then explored Duluth and visited the lake. The house was a convenient drive to everything we wanted to do. Matthew was very responsive if we had questions. Everything was clean. Big functional kitchen, open to the dining and living room. Take the scenic drive from I35 on 210, if you can. It was beautiful.

RonaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was exceptionally clean, neat, and tidy—one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. Its location is also very convenient, close to everything you might need. What truly stood out was the host’s dedication to ensuring a comfortable experience. Despite a winter storm, they made the extra effort to plow the walkway and driveway, which I deeply appreciated. Highly commendable for cleanliness, hospitality and location. I would definitely stay here again!

Our daughter calls it her "Duluth home" as we stay here a few times a year. The most responsive and accommodating hosts. We will be back in June! For those that don't know, the 3rd street bakery down the road gives a few cookie to kids on Sundays. Always on our to-do list :) Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Entire home sleeps 7, convenient location

JeradRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The home is easy to find with a lit address sign on the street. the interior design and layout of the house is unique and would have accommodated the guests we anticipated but who had to bow out. Very close to UMD, Bagley Nature Area. Every place we wanted to go was easy to drive and park. We had no need to communicate with our host during the trip. Even snow was anticipated with a shovel to help us get out of the driveway Sunday morning.

Your guide to Duluth

All About Duluth

Some associate Duluth with a bygone era of locomotives, lighthouses, and small-but-mighty tugboats, but this quaint, authentic Minnesota town is much more than a journey into the past. The port city, located on the shores of Lake Superior, is the perfect place for those who choose to go a bit off the beaten path when it comes to their stays and vacations. Duluth has a long, fascinating history that is intertwined with the great railroads of the 19th century, and people interested in that once-indomitable industry will find plenty to see and investigate during their visit. Modern-day Duluth has plenty to offer to today’s traveler, with a wealth of secrets, hideouts, shops, and social gathering spots that are well worth seeking out.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Duluth

Wintertime in Minnesota and the American Midwest can be downright freezing. But don’t let that dissuade you from a late- or early-year visit: locals tend to wear their winter coats like badges of honor. Duluth turns it up a notch during the holiday season, as the Bentleyville Tour of Lights illuminates a dark winter’s evening. Outside of winter, spring is a frenzy of life and ice-thaw, and summer is a non-stop flurry of outdoor activity, maximum daylight, and minimum sleep. For those looking to rent a cabin in Duluth or take advantage of some vacation rentals, fall might be the finest season weather-wise.


Top things to do in Duluth

Glensheen Estate

This historic mansion stretches across 20,000 square feet, and its Jacobean architectural style and period furnishings qualify it as a historic house museum, operated by the University of Minnesota Duluth. Tours, events, and concerts are regularly scheduled on the Glensheen grounds.

Take a Train Ride on the North Shore Scenic Railroad

The great American railroad corporations of the 19th century play a significant role in Duluth’s history, and the North Shore Scenic Railroad serves as a time-traveling portal back into that bygone transportation era. Schedule a trip on a restored, vintage train through downtown Duluth, Canal Park, and Two Harbors and feel the history as you roll over every picturesque bridge and timber trestle.

Canal Park

Canal Park is the centerpiece of Duluth’s downtown revival, and it’s no wonder it has become such a popular gathering spot for locals and out-of-towners alike. Take in the park’s sculpture garden after you hit up one of the many charming coffee shops, then enjoy a late lunch or dinner at the surrounding bistros and eateries. You can peruse the pier and watch the ships come in, then head out to the jazz club for an awesome evening’s entertainment.
