Charming and comfortable
Loved the property. My dog and I were on an extended weekend together. Small fenced in yard. Walking distance to Canal Park. Only downside is not having a view of Lake Superior, but the beach is a short walk away.

Park Point Perk
This little cottage was the perfect example of Park Point's history. Built in 1886, it has original walls and charm to delight those who love a little history. Driftwood Cottage comes equipped with everything you need, including games for the family. One of my favourite things was the book Driftwood by a local artist. It tells stories of Duluth from the author's perspective. One suggestion for improvement would be a small privacy wall between the Sea Glass cottage and the Driftwood cottage for when you sit on the deck. However, we were prepared for the cottages to be close together, as described. Although we barely saw our neighbours since we explored Duluth daily, the location is perfect—within walking distance of all downtown has to offer. We had a logistical issue that was promptly resolved with a call from the manager, and the service was good. The final piece worth sharing is the breathtaking view of Lake Superior from the beach, which is a two-minute walk across the road from Driftwood Cottage. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Perfect Family Get Away!
My family of my wife and 6 month old son really enjoyed the Driftwood Cottage. The rental was exactly like how it looked online and met our expectations. Unfortunately, the city of Duluth was experiencing low water pressure and lack of warm/hot water in our rental so we were unable to stay in the Cottage for the four nights that we had planned. But once we contacted the rental management about the issue, they were able to get us moved into a new rental that was not experiencing the same issues. The new rental we stayed in was just as great as the Driftwood Cottage. We are already hoping to return another time to stay again!

4-day trip to Duluth
Had a fly-in of our aircraft organization -- Thur-Mon. Had a dog so needed a dog-friendly place to stay. The cottage was in a perfect location -- halfway between Skyharbor Airport and downtown. Cozy cottage -- well-maintained. Clean. Everything we needed. Good time.

Cozy little cottage across the street from the beach. Accommodations were as described and convenient for us and our two dogs! Space was clean and easy to find - just an FYI that parking is located out back of the rental! More lights to locate this area would be nice, but all in all, a great spot.

Duluth Cottage with Fenced in Yard
This is a cute cottage with a little kitchen and a fenced in yard. Perfect for our family of three and a small dog. We visited Duluth for a Figure Skate competition but needed a place we could bring our little rescue with separation anxiety. This was perfect, clean, great ambiance and customer service.

We alos plan to bring a camping grill. The futon was comfy for sleeping although we plan to keep our stays to just is two. Loved seeing the buoy yard and watching the ships go in and out.
