Fun atmosphere and responsive host. Bed was comfy, cute coffee bar, fluffy towels, lots of cute details and vintage dishes. We enjoyed listening to some old records on the record player.
Main issues: entry way light was all but burnt out. There were quite a few flies to contend with. There were a lot of remote controls but we couldn't figure out what they were for.
We enjoyed our short stay in Two Harbors. The top floor of this home was decorated with a fun 50's theme throughout. The coffee and popcorn was a fun and appreciated feature. The weather was quite warm when we stayed mid-September. There was a portable A/C unit in the kitchen with fans for the bedrooms. The kitchen stayed nice and cool, but the bedrooms were uncomfortably warm. If we opened the windows, the street noise was quite loud. The stairs going up to the unit are quite steep so for some that could be a challenge. Overall this was a convenient, clean and great stay for our getaway. Thank you Janelle!
Over all awesome, but some problems with air conditioner control with kitchen very cold and bedrooms were some what too warm. Some flys coming in with air conditioning set up around window. Would stay again and recommend to others. Decorating was fantastic. Felt homey.
Yes this place is as adorable as it looks with its theme and liberal use of Hobby Lobby signs. It was also clean and well stocked. The downtown area is only about 4 blocks away but the places on route 61 are really close. Super close. That is because the house is located on 61, and if you are unfamiliar, route 61 is the main road up and down the north shore.
Like any house it has some good and some not as good:
1) You share the house with other renters. Being an older house, you can hear them. You are renting the top floor and upon entering you have about a 14 step climb to your area.
2) The house is on route 61 and you should expect a lot of traffic noise. A. Lot.
3) Wifi wasn't great. We ended up using our phone hotspot for the majority of our stay.
4) The rooms can get pretty warm during the summer, and there is an air conditioner, but it's in the kitchen and doesn't really cool the rest of the house off. (We put one of their fans in the kitchen doorway and that helped a little)
5) Great theme - adds to the ambiance.
6) It was super clean.
Nicely renovated older home would be nice even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Nice place to hang out.
Centrally located property could walk anywhere in town. Loved the experience.
Really loved the location and decor of this house! I had a few issues that were resolved to my satisfaction and definitely plan to rebook for next year!
We stayed here for our annual Mother’s Day trip.
Very cute - clean and fun
There are a set of killer stairs to climb so if you have folks with knee issues it is something to be aware of 😊
Stayed for a youth hockey tournament. Wonderful location for that! A few blocks from the rink and all the local restaurants! The only negative was the stairs in and out. I must have missed them being listed as I have severely bad knees making entering and exiting very difficult.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen items were plentiful, even the knives were sharp! I would risk the issues getting up and down to stay again. We really enjoyed it! The popcorn machine was a nice touch that made movie time a pleasure!
Close to every where you need to go, easy to find. Was a little loud right in highway 61, but the nights were quiet and we were able to sleep well.
The decor is fun and interesting.
Very enjoyable stay. Thank you very much!
Enjoyed our weekend at this house on the main strip of Two Harbors. Themed in 50’s decor and appointed with lots of fun like popcorn maker, turntable and records, marshmallow cooker, themed rooms and more. Extremely clean. Walkable to restaurants, bars, shoreline, and brewery. We’d stay there again.
This place was great! Everything went along with the themed decor, there is so much attention to detail. And not only did it look cool, but the beds and furniture were comfortable too. Great location, easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. I’d definitely stay here again.
This is a fun apartment to stay in, they thought of everything! The location is great, we were able to walk to local shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed movie night with the popcorn machine!
Twist and Shout had everything we needed for a weekend stay. We enjoyed being able to walk to ice cream, Castle Danger Brewing, and the Agate Beach along Lake Superior. It was a great launch pad for our North Shore hiking adventure.
Twist and shout lives up to its name, super fun stay!
Location, location, location! Walkable to all the fun in Two Harbors. Fabulous fun 50s theme space, bedrooms and living space was comfortable and luxurious. We definitely recommend staying here.
This was a good location and a cutely decorated rental. Everything was perfect except the pillows. We need thinner pillows and they were all lofty, would recommend more of a selection.

Born and raised in Two Harbors I want everyone to experience Two Harbors and fall in love with our community.

My husband and I also own and operate a property management company specializing in vacation rentals. We want everyone to love the North Shore as much as our family does by providing amazing experiences for you to make lifetime memories.
Why they chose this property
This property is in the heart of Two Harbors. Within blocks to all the high lights. It is a historic home with amazing character. This property is currently home to 2 vacation rentals and 2 more in the making. My dream is to have themed special rentals for you to build memories in and enjoy all the special details they have to offer.
What makes this property unique
Twist and Shout is a testimony to the 50's. Well thought out details were put into the decor, the dishes, the music, the games every part of this unit we hope is a trip down memory lane or a glimpse of some to the greatest times. Play vinyl records, watch the lava lamp, curl up to movies, make popcorn, snuggle up in the round Marilyn Monroe bed, you will not be board in this special space! Our guests so far have given us rave reviews and can't wait to return with family and friends. We hope you take the chance and check out our Twist & Shout retreat!
