4.92 out of 5 average rating, 319 reviewsLake Superior's Cranberry River Cottage- The Wren
Ann was a great host and was very responsive when we had questions. The space was a perfect gathering spot for a group of friends looking for a quiet location during the winter. The cottages were just a short drive to Bayfield and fun outdoor recreation spots. We would definitely stay here again when traveling in the area!

This is an AMAZING place! It was very clean and decorated so nicely. It really felt like a north woods getaway. The perfect home base for us to take in the North Shore in its winter glory. Amy was responsive and friendly. I honestly wish my house were decorated like hers. Thank you very much for having us! I can’t recommend this place enough. One of my favorite Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in.

The bungalow was a cozy, winter getaway for our family. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. We’d love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor patio area. The location was perfect and within a few minutes drive of everything we wanted to do.

This was our second stay at Phil's cabin, and we're already planning a third visit next summer. We love the private, quiet location close to Lake Superior and the surrounding woods. The cabin always has exactly what we need. It's clean, comfortable, and cozy.

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 333 reviewsSingle or multiple nights-Winter discounts! #1419
Had a great stay during my short time in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Although, I never got a chance to meet Amanda, she was very responsive to any questions I had. House was equipped with all your basic needs. Also, shout out to the neighbors. They were extremely helpful and got me out of what could've been tough situation, mostly my fault, due to the fact that I should've checked when I rented a vehicle, the tires weren't adequate enough to handle the snowy and slippery conditions, despite having 4WD. I will definitely be sure to forward the favor.

Guest suite in Cornucopia
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 160 reviewsCome love the south shore of Lake Superior
This was my third stay at "Sweet Retreat" and it never disappoints! Terri is a wonderful host and makes sure we have everything we need for our stay! The coffee and scones are such a nice treat! We enjoy stopping in at the coffee shop just below the Airbnb. We enjoy walking through this quaint little village and to Lake Superior! We will be back and highly recommend Sweet Retreat! So convenient to Bayfield but nice to return to a quiet setting!

Home in Beaver Bay
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsNorthwoods Luxury on Private Black Sand Beach
We spent two nights in this cabin and never wanted to leave! What a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior and the rocky coast of Minnesota. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the rooms are beautiful. This place is perfectly laid out for a family and friends group. We can't wait to return.

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 187 reviewsKingsbury Creek Vacation Home - Entire 4 BR House
This is an excellent home in a convenient location- short drive to Duluth and essy access to Iron Range destinations. Set up is great for a group, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom on each floor. The game room is definitely a highlight, with foosball, dome hockey, and a pool table. Well-appointed kitchen that was stocked with coffee, tea, oatmeal, etc. Would love to stay here again!

Had an amazing time staying in this beautiful cabin on Lake Superior. It was -12 degrees while we were there, so we spent most of the time in the sauna and by the fire overlooking the lake.

Cabin in Hayward
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsLost Land Escape
The house was gorgeous (very unique), very clean and well equipped. The property itself was small but secluded and couldn't be more scenic with the lake out the back door, eagles landing in the yard and loons calling from just beyond the dock. I couldn't recommend this place more, if you want a get-away for the weekend or week. It IS a long way from town, shops & restaurants, so come prepared with all your food and entertainment. We did take 2 out of 6 days to drive to Lake Superior (1.75 hr drive) & took the "Grand Tour" to 20 of the Apostle Islands, then another day to hike at Copper Falls State Park(1 hr drive). Both are highly recommended. Otherwise we kayaked, played games, read books and watched the 2024 Paris Olympics. There are pontoon rentals not too far and lake lodges that serve meals, but the boats need to be reserved way ahead. Northern WI is beautiful and we loved Lost Land Escape. No cell signal but great wifi.

I've been to many Airbnb and VRBO properties, bit this place was probably the best as far as peace and quiet goes. Excellent location and alot of activities to do while bonding with loved ones.

Cottage in Cotton
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsLonely Pine Lodge
We really enjoyed our stay at Valerie's cabins. We loved the location, which is close to Sax Zim Bog and the Wilbert Cafe. The main cabin and additional cabin were perfect for our group of three birders. The kitchen was big with lots of amenities and the heat worked great. We are all from Florida and were warm and toasty, even with temps below zero. The wood stove was a nice touch and added ambience. I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again on my next visit.

Cabin in Duluth
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsLakefront Cabin on Island Lake
We loved staying at Samantha's property. Communication was great, the cabin was clean and super cozy and had everything that we needed. This is a little gem up north and we would love to stay here again. The lake is beautiful and the rental comes with kayaks and other water toys. We kayaked to the local restaurant which was easy to get to and a very pretty, short paddle away. We loved sitting by the fire and they had ample firewood provided. Can't say enough about the experience!

Cabin in Tamarack
5 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsHotTub Sauna Lake Private Cabin, 7 beds 3 baths
Beautiful home with pretty views and very private! I loved the high ceilings and open air feel in the main space. Our group had a great time here. Lots of space for the adults and kids to hang out in. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with cooking tools and supplies.

Cabin in Gordon
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsThe Gordon Flowage Cabin
We always feel so incredibly fortunate to get to stay at Brandi’s cabin on the flowage. It is a peace we look forward to enjoying a few times a year. The blue jays filled the lines and the swans kept in search of open water. It was perfection! Peaceful even amidst the hurry of the holidays. Cannot wait to return ♥️🌲

Cabin in Solon Springs

Staying at Kevin’s cabin was truly the cherry on top of my incredible trip to Iron River. Gorgeous views, plenty of parking for truck and sled dog trailer, adjacent to what is now one of my favorite restaurants, and very helpful host. I would hope to stay here again next winter!

Three words: Cute, cozy and clean! This cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway with my partner. We were impressed with how clean and well-organized the home was, and appreciated the peace and quiet. Would definitely book again!

Home in Two Harbors
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 151 reviewsThe NorthShore Lower Lofte - Retro, Eclectic Charm
Chelsea and Joel's place was perfect for our trip. The place is comfortable and clean. It is easy to find. The hosts are very responsive and answered questions quickly. I will definitely return should we plan another trip in the area. There was no local channels on the TV, during our stay so you may want to consider bringing a digital antenna or checking with Chelsea and Joel if that is something of interest to you.

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.

This felt like home when we got there. It is a warm home and the ads matched what we paid for. I chose this place as they allowed dogs. The location is great to get to Duluth, and there are many places to go locally. The beds are comfortable, and all the linens are clean when you get there. It was a great Christmas vacation.

Home in Herbster
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 377 reviewsStunning Bark Point Home on Superior's South Shore
Scott's home was warm, welcoming, incredibly comfortable, and had a spectacular view of the lake. While we enjoyed our time dog-sledding with a nearby outfit and hiking along the lake shore near Bayfield, we loved just staying at the house and watching the lake from the various vantage points inside and outside the home. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the pots, pans, gadgets you can imagine. And we loved the incredibly large selection of games, spending a lot of time playing the large wooden Yahtzee in the cozy living room. We hope to be back again to enjoy Bark Point in the summer and/or fall. Overall great trip and would highly recommend.

Home in Herbster
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsPrivate Beach Haven with Large Lakehouse
We had a great time celebrating an 80th birthday party at Eileen's home. This property is right on the water, which is very appealing. The Bay is peaceful and serene. We would bring our kayaks along if we stay again (boat landing near by). The steps to get to the water were a bit difficult for our older family members to navigate. We loved the flat greenspace for playing outdoor games. Handy to have on site laundry and open concept kitchen/ dining/ living room. The loft area is open to the kitchen, so not the best area for light sleepers or late rizers:) Loved our time there, it's a special place!!

Home in Gordon
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 97 reviewsModern Lake House | Water, Woods, Relaxation
The modern lake house was an amazing experience. The beautiful surroundings and peaceful setting made it perfect for a weekend getaway. The house was very equipped with many modern conveniences and easy to feel right at home. The house was spotless and clean, the bedrooms super comfortable and the layout was great for a group stay. Peter was a friendly, generous and very communicative host. He had great suggestions and sent very helpful instructions for local spots or recreational ideas. I would definitely book a stay again. It was especially fantastic in October for fall colors!

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.
