Lovely, well cared for property

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Hilltop Retreat. It was very comfortable and all of our needs were taken care of! The sauna was a great addition! We had to contact the property manager and we found them to be very helpful and friendly. We would recommend this property to anyone hoping to stay in Duluth!

Spacious and comfortable

We enjoyed a couple of nights at Hilltop Retreat. The place is tastefully decorated, spacious, and comfortable. We loved the swing chair! Although this is a lower level unit, the space is quiet and both bedrooms have full windows. Parking was convenient. We were under 10 minutes away from any activities we planned - dining, shopping, and sightseeing

Relaxing Rest

My spouse and I had a great stay at this location. It was a nice base camp for us as we spent our days running around and enjoying the Duluth/North Shore area. We loved the sauna and had a very easy check-in/check-out process. The listing was as described and had lots of great resources that highlighted Duluth.

Our daughter was dancing in Nationals and we loved this place. Probably 4 mins to the convention center. Of course, depending on the day. Nice, clean place, with everything you need! I loved the deer that would come by and just look at me. Thank you!

Hope to stay here next time we are in Duluth

Overall this quiet comfortable Hillside Retreat provided just about all I would ask for in a short term rental. I liked the convenient parking steps away from our door, having one and a half bathrooms. My favorite part about this spot was the private sauna. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here next time we are in Duluth.

Girls birthday weekend

It was easy to come and go, and it was easy to get to the main sites in Duluth. The rooms were spacious, and the beds were comfortable. We loved the attention to detail with the decorating. It was nice having two bathrooms for our group.
