Location:
Positive: Close to stores and restaurants. Less than a 15 minute drive to Duluth
Negative: On a busy road, lots of traffic noise
Cleanliness:
With almost half of our rental fee going towards cleaning, expected the house to be super clean. My daughters wanted to wear flip flops in the house due to the floors feeling dirty. Found hairs on bed sheets. Some windows were stuffed with tissues, think it was to keep cold air out.
Safety:
Visited the house in the spring time. With melting snow, the sidewalk to the house had 2+" of standing water. Had to walk in snow (when available) or mud to not get shoes super wet. Then in the morning, same spot was sheer ice.
No TV remote:
The downstairs TV did not have a remote. I reported to the guest communication email that I was provided with my reservation. She responded in a timely manner that she had reached out to the home owner. The home owner never responded during our stay. The upstairs tv would randomly turn off and then back on.
Shades:
Some windows had no shades, others only sheer shades. Would have liked the option to be able to close shades to allow rooms to be darker for better sleep.
Conflicting information:
The book inside the house had conflicting information to what was sent in the email (ie check out time, what to do upon check out). Book should be updated to reflect the most current policy.

Spacious home with plenty of room for family and friends. Right off the highway and close to downtown Duluth.
