Hillside Tiny Home with Private Sauna
This was the perfect getaway! You definitely get what you pay for!

Bright & Renovated- Only 6 mi from Duluth!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to others! It was conveniently located to Duluth where we were visiting for a wedding. The entire house was clean and we were so thankful to be able to bring our pup along with us. Thanks for everything!

Lovely 2 Bedroom Duplex
This was a great location for a quick getaway to be by the lake and explore Jay Cooke. It was very clean, it had everything we needed, and there were special touches for my dog, which I really appreciated! I would definitely stay again.

Cozy Parkplace Cabin
this is a very nice place to stay. right off the lake. it's right outside of town.

Stay Lincoln Park 1 | Walkability to Dining/Shops
We absolutely loved our stay! This is our second time at Heirloom Vacation's Lincoln Park location. Last time we stayed in unit 4, this time in unit 1. Loved the two king beds! This location is fantastic. Walkable to multiple restaurants and breweries/cideries.

Applegate Cottage - South Shore of Lake Superior
rented this place to have a cozy weekend away and it delivered. There were lots of blankets throughout the place along with plenty of cozy places to relax. The thoughtful touches throughout the place of having a light for every place to sit and have a teapot and cups was wonderful. Highly recommend staying here if in the area.

Canal Park 5 mins*Pets Welcome*EV Friendly
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!

The Black Spruce (No Cleaning Fee! Access Trails!)
Had a great stay! Place was clean and well labeled. There were nice hikes 10 minutes away.

Kinney Valley Farm
We had a lovely stay in a warm October weekend! The house is super clean and stays cozy even when it was chilly at night. The property is beautiful and it’s located a short drive from a great beach!

“The Bunk House” on Lake Amnicon. Pet Friendly!
The Bunkhouse exceeded our expectations. It was cozy, relaxing, and clean. We enjoyed being right on the lake, walking in the woods, a warm campfire, and the sauna! The internet allowed us to stream a Lynx basketball game, the porch offered quiet reading space, and the pullout sofa afforded restful sleep. Our old dog loved the calm outdoors and “Back 40”. We can’t wait to come back!

Start Line Inn on Bike & XC Trails Powered by Sun
This place was incredible for us. Our experience reminded me of what Airbnb used to be. Lovable quirks, unique spot, friendly and fun hosts, and an experience you couldn’t get anywhere else. The kitchen was beautiful! Trails right out the door. What else could you want? Thanks for everything!

Secluded woods/lakeshore home, complete amenities
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
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!
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.

Luxurious house for nature-lovers by Hartley Park
A delightful cozy home just perfect for two people. The upstairs shower and hot tub were amazing. Excellent amenities following a brisk hike in the Minnesota snow. We really enjoyed the house and are thinking about coming back in the future.

Lakeview chalet by Gooseberry Falls with sauna
The Chalet was the perfect space four our multigenerational group to spend Easter weekend. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group. The kids loved the loft, bunk beds, movie theater setup, activity room and playroom as well as the odd layout, which made for endless rounds of hide and seek! The grandparents appreciated separate spaces for a little more peace and quiet. The yard was an excellent spot for an Easter egg hunt! Overall, we would highly recommend and are looking forward to future stays!
House rentals in Duluth

Island Lake Getaway (1 - 10 guests welcomed)
Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The house was perfect for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 teenagers). We especially enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, frisbee, and the chess table.

5 bedrooms 7 beds, 3 baths trails/parks, ski/bike
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.

4 beds, up to 7, full kitchen, living rm, driveway
Perfect location and homey atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay here again.

Entertainment & Outdoor Activities - Hub
What a wonderful place to stay! The host thought of everything. The house was attractive and cozy, and everything worked perfectly and was in great shape. We stay in a lot of Airbnbs and this was A+! The hosts were so responsive and helpful and kind. We will stay here again in a heartbeat thank you so much.

★Lake Superior Style★7 miles to Canal Park!★
Airbnb was perfect for what we needed for the weekend and Trisha was super helpful and responsive.

Original Hillside Home
We had a great time in Duluth staying at Mark’s place! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun getaway

Lakewalk House at Lake Superior Brewing Brewtel
Had a great time with my family and extended family in-tow. We loved the area, including the home being in vicinity to all you could need was a huge plus. We would recommend.

Entire home sleeps 7, convenient location
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.
