Great stay!!

We had the most wonderful time at the cottage! The waterfalls were a short walk and so beautiful. The cottage was very clean and a short drive from the highway making it easy to trek into Duluth or Two Harbors.Thank you Rita and Amy for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Fabulous hideaway in the woods

Perfect accommodations for our North Shore getaway. The house was pristine and had everything we needed. The location is close enough to Duluth to enjoy activities in the city and easily come back “home” to a campfire in the woods, as well as being already on the way up the north shore for hiking and sightseeing. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and well designed cottage. Pristine with everything we needed. Great proximity to Duluth but also state parks and locations up the shore. The owners helped us get our fire started in the freezing cold! So awesome. Strongly recommended.

Amazing experience

This property was private, clean and well prepared! We loved it so much, we were happy to stay there rather than go out! It is quite a way from town and we LOVED it! Best place we’ve stayed so far. Definitely going back again-our hostesses are wonderful!

Awesome stay!

We cannot say enough about our stay at Wildwood Cottage! The cottage was beautiful and everything in order when we arrived. We loved taking the walk down to the river and enjoying the peace and beauty of the area. It was a perfect spot to stay in the middle of all the places we enjoyed visiting.

Oasis in the woods

We had a marvelous time during our stay. The kids loved running around the property, napping on the couch by the big window, and we adored the distance to/from all of the surrounding communities.
