Great Stay!

Our stay at Minnesota Point Beach House 3 was great despite the frigid weather! The home was very clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and so close to Canal Park. We were there for skiing at Lutsen & Spirit Mountain during MLK weekend so the sauna really hit the spot after a day skiing. The host made our first VRBO experience a breeze. We would definitely book this property again.

Family Get Away

This was our first time at this property. We usually stay at the two bedroom one. We stayed with our two adult daughters and my brother and sister in law. We had so much fun hiking various trails and took a tour of the GlenSheen mansion. Tried out new places to eat and lots of walks on the beach. I finaly got smart and brought my wet suit for swimming, which worked out very well. We will be back!

Great beach house

Our group was 2 adults and two 9 year kids. We had a blast on the beach every day. The ping pong table in the basement was also a hit. Very quiet location. Close to Canal Park, but far enough away to not feel crowded.

The house was in a lovely spot. Park point is beautiful! A short walk over the sand dunes brings you to Lake Superior. This provided a great background for family pictures! The house was lovely! Very clean and well maintained. We even used the wondeful Sauna in the basement!

President's Day weekend by the lake

We had the opportunity to stay in this home while visiting our son, a student at UMD, over President's Day weekend. The home was had plenty of room for all of us to spread out and get time to ourselves when needed and space to gather together to hang out and eat. Even with 3 of us having to do school/work we had no problem with the WiFi. We were able to take advantage of the close path to the lake and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. It was easy to get to everything we wanted to and the driveway provided easy parking. The owners were very easy to work throughout the process, especially as we considered last minute changes to our stay due to work schedule changes. We would definitely consider staying here when we are up in Duluth again.

coalition for the homeless weekend

The place was great, but could have used mirrors in the rooms with all of us sharing one bathroom. Also, a shower ring for the upstairs tub would make this place 10 out of 10.

This house sits just off the "main drag" aka Minnesota Ave and is a short walk to the sandy shore and has a wonderful rooftop balcony and is richly furnished and is just a 20 minute walk to the vibrant Lake Ave / Canal Park area and it's just a great place.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Pitschka

Host profile image
Steve and I (Heather) have lived in Duluth for the past 25 and 20 years, respectively. We call it home now and have a tough time seeing ourselves living elsewhere. Lake Superior has a draw and we've been mesmerized since moving here. We both love the water and spend a significant amount of our free time walking the beach, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, canoeing and fishing. We love this area and always look forward to coming home when we've gone on vacation.

Why they chose this property

Actually the vacation home is Steve's first home. He spent much of his free time repairing/refinishing. It is furnished with antiques handed down in our family that Steve refinished. We were unable to part with it when we moved to our new home less than a mile away so we turned it into a vacation rental home in 2010.

What makes this property unique

You'll have direct access to the largest freshwater lake in the WORLD (Lake Baikal in Russia is largest by volume, Lake Superior is largest by surface area)!

You are less than one mile away for the farthest inland port in the world.

You are less than one mile away from one of the largest lift bridges in the United States. There you can view Ocean and Great Lake ships from less than 100 feet as they enter and leave the port.

Minnesota Point is surrounded by water and the Aerial Lift Bridge is the only point of access by land. You are essentially on a island!

Steve lived in this house for several years and knows you have great neighbors!

If you want shopping, coffee, antiques they are less than 1 mile down the road over the Aerial Lift Bridge. You can also make the walk on sandy beach.
