Such a nice little get away spot in the heart of Duluth. It is surprisingly peaceful and quiet for being so close to the action. Within walking distance to many of Duluth's biggest attractions. The ships coming through the canal really make this a special location.

The location was perfect. We were able to view the Bentleyville lights from across the bay. Walked to get our continental breakfast in the morning & watch the bay from our room. Short walk over the lift bridge to Canal Park, highly recommend.

It was an amazing little get away. This is our second time coming to this establishment for our Anniversary. We Love how each room has its own little nook the layout is perfect for privacy. They are very welcoming, have yummy treats to greet you, a lovely firepit to enjoy looking at the bay and bridge. It's quiet and has been very clean both times. We definitely will keep coming back.

The place is amazing and in the right room, the view is amazing too. It's the third time we've stayed there in as many years. Just look at the photo and the proximity to the canal, lift bridge and lake. Nuff said!
