Nice, clean home...odd location
The place itself is beautifully kept. Everything was clean and comfortable. The place is spacious. You can tell the owners have put a lot of care into it. The location is fine; definitely on the edge of Duluth. The kitchen overlooks an RV campground.

We would stay again
Lots of space. Part of our group could not make it. But had there been 10 people there still would have been enough space. We initially had plans of driving to Duluth but there was so much to see in Fond Du Lac that we never drove there. From the State Park to going to a gorgeous place called the Trophy Lodge for cocktails there was no shortage of things to do. I would say the only complaint we all had was the dining room and deck chairs did not have cushions. All of us could not sit on them long before moving to the couch. Especially the dining room chairs. This is a real easy fix if they choose to do it or you might want to bring your own cushions. Again we would stay here again.

House was perfect for 6 ladies. Mirrors and lights at the three upstairs desks would help to provide makeup and hair styling stations to free up the bathrooms. But that is minor detail not needed by all. House was quiet and we felt safe.

A Hidden Gem
Trailhouse is a very appropriate name for this hidden gem! It's roomy, well stocked and the perfect location for visiting parks or MTB trails. Plenty of parking, comfy beds and a stocked kitchen means you'll be cooking up some delish meals after your adventure. With 2 TVs your group could break off and watch their own movies. The hosts are very informative and the listing was accurate. Any questions were answered quickly and they offered up activities to help make sure we were having a good time. We'll be back for sure!

There was plenty of room for our kids and adult chaperones. The kitchen was great for preparing and serving meals. The kids loved the fire pit in the backyard. It was easy to get everyone ready and out of the door in the morning. Clean and comfortable.

Perfect Family Gathering
We had family ages 88 to 60 from all over the country staying for a wedding. The house was perfect for 9 of us, 4 couples and 1 single. It was VERY clean and so spacious. We had many meals there with up to 25, including 5 children, so having two gathering spaces was wonderful (kids in the upstairs living room with movies streaming). We stayed for 5 days and could not imagine being in a hotel over this house. We had room to play table games, set up a puzzle, watch TV, be on a computer, or just sit and chat (all at the same time...so much room!). The internet failed the last day but the owner was easy to contact and worked hard to get it back online. A hotel would never have provided us the family time together. This was my first VRBO experience and I'm sure we'll do it again. I hope other rentals are as nice as this one. For future renters wondering: The beds are comfortable and come with linens. There are extra blankets available. Bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths are also provided, although there weren't enough wash cloths unless we did a load of laundry. Laundry detergent is provided. In the kitchen there are plenty of dishware (plates, cups, etc), flatware, knives, toaster, coffee makers, blender, pizza pans, flat baking pans. There was plenty of napkins but we needed more paper towels and toilet paper. There were no kitchen towels or dish cloths, just a sponge. The hand soap provided was foam and too watered down. There is an iron and ironing board. Overall, it is well supplied but we did have to buy a few inexpensive things that we typically use.
