About this property

Rydell House - Spacious, elegant Craftsman style you will call home

www.superior.vacations
The Rydell House has it all and just minutes from everything and anything. Do you like to grill out and relax in privacy? How about a huge backyard with patios and grill enough for a large group. Do you enjoy relaxing on a porch, enjoying conversation and a glass of wine? Or reading a book? Rydell offers you not one but two three-season porches (one is almost four season with auxiliary heat. You will appreciate the quality of furnishings that adorn every room. The living and dining room we think are awesome. The huge kitchen is decked out with new Samsung and GE Cafe professional grade appliances. Don't forget to enjoy two patios, a gazebo, and fire pit in the spacious back yeard.

Great beds and big, smart TVs make certain you will get a great sleep in this quiet neighborhood. Maybe you need a fifth bedroom? Or prefer a family room for games or big screen TV and movies? Venture up to Rydell On Three and decide!

Back in the day, the Rydell House was the talk of the town and featured in the local newspaper. It has always been well maintained by caring owners. We are doing our best to add meaningful updates while preserving and honoring the heritage of this solid and prominent home. Note: there is a single security camera in the kitchen. It is set to "private" for all guest stays. Dogs are welcome - note a $100 pet fee per stay/per dog.

Theatre Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time staying in this amazing home. The kitchen is well equipped with perfect appliances and all you could possibly need! We cooked a full Thanksgiving for 12 and all went smoothly! We fed all of the UMD theatre kids that couldn’t go home due to rehearsals. It would not have been possible without this perfect super clean house. Thank you!

Sons wedding weekend

It is a beautiful home. Great location, easy access to Duluth and surrounding area. My family stayed here for my sons wedding in Canal Park. The back yard was beautiful and a great place to relax in between wedding schedules. The house was amazing, every corner you turned you would find something new and unique. The whole family enjoyed their stay. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. Thank you!

Lovely home & Great Spot

This home provided the perfect weekend get away for our family. We comfortably used the space with 6 adults and 2 kids and it was a great balance of togetherness and privacy. A quick car ride to Duluth made it a great location. If you are looking for a nice place to stay with lots of charm- this is the spot for you!,

Beautiful home and quiet neighborhood

This property is just as shown in the photos! Beautifully decorated and feels very homey. The kitchen had everything you could ever need, the yard was large and has beautiful flower gardens. There is space for everyone and loved the large dining room table for meals and game time. The owner was very pleasant and easy to work with, and best of all, responded very quickly to any communication sent. We would definately stay again!

Lake Superior Treasure

We rented this property while visiting extended family in the superior/Duluth area. My husband and I stayed with our 3 sons and my mom, plus our two dogs. Not a single thing about this home disappointed. The fenced in backyard is gigantic and private. We saw so many stars at night! Families can comfortably dine outside or in. The interior of the home has clearly been designed to preserve the rich history of the home and our entire family had a blast exploring all the nooks and crannies! The kitchen had every spice, appliance, and cooking utensil we could have asked for - and we LOVE cooking — and we entertained our extended family for dinner a few nights. We spent hours playing board games, reading, and relaxing in the amazing front enclosed porch, where the cool lake breeze blows in both day and night. The bedrooms are super comfortable and we are picky about mattresses and pillows. I was concerned that 2 full baths (there is also a half bath on the main floor) wouldn’t be enough for our family but it was perfect. Finally, the hosts, Omar and Bruce were such a joy, both engaging and responsive. The only issue we had - and this is truly not an issue - was that the WiFi went down and since I had to do a bit of work I needed it restored quickly, and the owners responded immediately to our questions helping us restore. This house WAS the destination. We did not visit the area with plans to constantly be out and about. We wanted a place where we could relax and just be with my mom and other family that visited occasionally. This house delivered. We feel so happy and relaxed after our stay!

Just what we were looking for!

Beautiful old home with nice updates to furnishings. We came to the area for a weekend away with 2 other couples. Perfect place to relax after a day of adventuring around Duluth. Nice we had a place to have a few meals, relax inside in one of the two lounge/tv areas or outside in the back yard on the patio where we play some bocci ball, and even had a small bonfire one night. Hosts were quick to respond with the few questions we had too! All and all a great place to to stay!

Great historical home!

The Rydell House was a beautiful historic home in Superior. We spent Thursday through Monday for a family wedding. We had 8 adults and 2 children under age 1. We had room for two more adults technically as we brought pack n plays for the children. The bedrooms were large enough to accommodate the needs of each family. Most of the bedrooms had window air conditioners and ceiling fans, so even with 90 degree weather the house was very cool. The family room in the basement was great entertainment. The kitchen was stocked beyond our expectations. The backyard was very nice and fenced. The owners were prompt in replying. If we go back to the area, we will definitely stay at the Rydell House.

Absolutely Incredible House

The house is absolutely incredible. Gorgeous period details, tons of fun and quirky knick knacks all over the house, lots of space for folks to spread out, very comfortable furniture. The yard was fantastic for visiting children. The kitchen is quite large and very well appointed. The only downside was that it's in Superior, but it can't be helped. The neighborhood was quiet, easily accessible to both bridges, and tbh, Duluth's best kept secret is Wisconsin Point - absolutely the best beach in the area. If I ever have a family gathering in the area again, I will absolutely check this property first.

Beautiful house, convenient location

We stayed at the Rydell House for a wedding with events taking place in Duluth and Poplar and the location was great for us. The house is beautiful, the beds were very comfortable and it was perfectly air conditioned when we arrived, even during an exceptionally hot weekend. There were also several TVs for if you have some downtime during your stay. The fenced in backyard is lovely and has a number of seating areas.

Super house/ Super host

We booked our stay on another platform and we were canceled literally days before our reservation. It was a complete disaster thank God I found the same house on VRBO and that saved our trip. I contacted Our stay was amazing. Our host Bruce was absolutely awesome. He made sure we had everything we needed. Every floor had so much to offer. Very nicely decorated as well. The house was everything you could imagine and then some. Very comfortable located right near town safe neighborhood. We will definitely stay there again if Bruce will have us.

Birthday/graduation celebration

We had a very mixed group of friends and family (all adults) and everyone commented on how perfect the house was for such a group. Everyone had a comfortable bed, plenty of spaces to congregate or hide out. Dining got a little tricky as there wasn’t enough room at the dining room table for everyone, but being a flexible crowd it worked out using the table In the kitchen. Overall we had a great time largely due to the house we were in!

rydell stay

the property was very nice . Neat old antique home and decor. The kitchen was very modern and convenient to use.the only problem was the bathtub and shower on the 2nd floor where all the bedrooms were. The shower diverter didn't work at all . Then when we filled the tub and tried to use the jacuzzi jets brown gunk came out of them. We all had to use the small bathroom in the basement with the shower stall to bathe. I did expect more from the place than this arrangement.

About the host

Hosted by Omar Navarro

We love the North Shore and Twin Ports areas and have been drawn to the classic homes of the early 20th century. Great craftsmanship and solid materials have provided a terrific base for furnishings and modern updates. Some we hire out and some we do ourselves. We want our guests and friends to enjoy these great accommodations as much as we enjoy our stays.

Why they chose this property

What is not to appreciate about the Rydell House? They say the foundation walls are six feet thick. No wonder it is so solid. There are four city lots that give us great yard space for grill outs, yard games, and play space. You could hold a wedding or two or a lawn meeting. The interior has plenty of space to hang out, entertain, or just plain sleep. Sure we will be doing improvements and updates as we go along and as we learn more of the feel of the space and what can be accommodated. Our guests will share ideas no doubt. Owning the Rydell house is owning a piece of history and an era when successful business owners put down their roots and built their family homes in this immediate area.

What makes this property unique

Two porches, a gas fireplace, a third floor convertible family room/bedroom all on a spacious lot. Some areas make you want to dress up and feel the formal atmosphere. Other spaces invite your sweat shirts and gym pants. Our Dobermans love the huge back yard although they bark at the birds or a passersby on the sidewalks.
