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!
