Great North Shore Home!

This house was a perfect location to be home base as we adventured on the north shore. Our kids especially loved the play area in the basement. As parents, this was great for us as they were easily entertained while we packed/unpacked and prepared meals. We enjoyed the outdoor patio table and the grill. The house was clean and had everything we needed as a family. The owners were excellent at communicating with us. We would highly recommend this home for families looking to adventure the north shore!

Perfect for our needs

I and two others spent 3 nights here to run Grandma's Marathon. We were able to go to the start on foot, which was great. The property was amazing - clean, well appointed kitchen, all the amenities we could need. Everyone in my group wished we were able to stay in Two Harbors longer, and next time I visit I'll be booking here.
