Lovely, Large Historic Home on St. Louis River

The house is lovely and the home has everything we needed for our stay.

Great house with a lot of activities!

Great house! Loved everything about the place.

Very impressive and interesting house with nice access to the river. The only complaint was that two of our party had trouble sleeping because of the nearby train traffic. The owner had clearly warned us, so there is no complaint there, and the other four in our group had no problem.

This place had a great yard and a lot of space. It was convenient to 3 state parks. It was clean. The trains were not very bothersome with the wall air-conditioners. Little things would make it better - the kitchen is lacking a big pot so we struggled to make frozen ravioli for the family, also need big spoon for cooking, complete set of grill tools for grill. Multiple door pulls loose in kitchen. There are only 2 big pillows on each bed, plus 2 decorative pillows. We found 2 extra pillows in 1 closet, but that was less than desired for the number of adults we had. The house is older and therefore doesn't have many outlets - but it would be nice to have easy access outlet for charging a phone while I sleep. One of the twin beds didn't have a top sheet on it, just the fitted sheet and a comforter and pillow. Upstairs shower door doesn't shut firmly and spilled lots of water on the floor, but there was no bathroom rug so we used a towel for the mess. I would also bring my own shampoo and soap as it seems thay the owner may just rely on previous guests leaving behind body wash - many bottles nearly empty. We had enough, but the feeling was like it wasn't thought through. To be clear, I didn't ask the owner for extra pillows, big pot, etc. I struggle with not wanting to ask and be a bother. Yet, these things did cause me to rate 4/5 rather than 5/5. I would still consider staying again but I would also consider my other options.

We had a great time the house and property were very inviting and the house is beautiful and has tons of character!

Everything was easy, handy, well supplied and clean. Will probably return

Beautiful property, great location. Scenic private and authentic home built in 1920. Many areas to sit and take in the beautiful River view. Spectacular sunset views. Great choice for a quiet getaway!

Excellent accommodations. Kitchen had all you could possibly need.

The house is beautiful! Very historic. It was fun to be on the river and there are several state parks nearby. We went to Jay Cooke and Amnicon State Parks. Beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. We didn't get to Pattison State Park but it has a waterfall that's almost as tall as Niagra Falls.The town of Oliver is very small so not much to do there, but easy to get to Duluth where there's lots to do.The price of this VRBO is very reasonable and the neighborhood is quiet, other than the train. Would stay there again

Beautiful property, well maintained and easy to get to. We got up on Sunday morning and saw two eagles sitting in the tree. Awesome sight. Loved the river access!

Usually come up for Grandmas marathon. This year I couldn’t run so we came just to vacation and fish . Enjoyed the whole stay from the beautiful sunsets to catching fish off the dock. The river was a little low but we were stilll able to catch fish in the boat. Let be the house and all the amenities

What a charming place! There's easy access to the St. Louis river and a canoe with several kayaks. It's private but I let 10 minutes from shopping for quick trips to pick up your 'forgetables'.

Stayed at this property with my family as we were in Duluth for a wedding. Wonderful place; plenty of rooms for all of us and so much fun having direct access to the water.Would highly recommend if you want a getaway in the Duluth/Superior area. Easy access to everything you need.

Overall it was a nice place to stay. great location if you are fishing the St. Louis River. The frequent train rolling by is a little annoying when you are trying to sleep, but the property owner does disclose that.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. There were gorgeous views of the river and train that passes by every so often, honestly the train didn’t bother us. Everything was perfect!

Beautiful historic home on the river, just over the Wisconsin border. Very quick drive to Duluth, Mont-du-lac and Jay Cooke State Park. Train was audible but with the white noise machine, it was not a major issue. Ample room for everyone to spread out, appreciated having two bathrooms.

Honestly probably would have been five stars if not for that silly train that comes by quite often. Foam ear plugs while sleeping made it so most of us barely noticed it... but a few did. And there could have been more curtains on the windows. But overall our group of runners was quite happy with the accommodations.

Great location and proximity to Duluth and attractions. Beautiful spot on the water with deck and kayaks to use. House is very spacious with lots of various entertaining rooms. It is very dated- floors creak a lot, no central air and window units make for varying levels of cool and humidity throughout. The water is hard with a slight odor and yellowish color. Door knobs are antique and fall off occasionally. Host was very responsive but not great attention to details- a few amenities were missing or running low. Listing does make it clear this property is close to the train- it is a very loud horn and does shake the house when it goes by a few times in the night.

Enjoyed the historic house, lovely property while attending Bayfront Blues Fest.

We enjoyed staying here while visiting the north shore.

Our family of 8 people had a lovely time! The sun room has a great view of the river and trees. the kayaks and canoe and fire pit were fun to use. The kitchen had space for cooking, and the dining room could accommodate our 8 people. We were thankful for the window air conditioner units. We were surprised that accessing one double bedroom was through another double bedroom. We must not have seen that in the description or forgotten it, but our grown married kids were good sports about that with their spouses. Not a huge deal. Host Corey was helpful and friendly and prompt with answer replies via email. Thanks again, Corey!

We had such a great time at this property. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The river was never busy while we were there, so we enjoyed going out on the canoe and kayaks. My boys loved fishing although they unfortunately had no luck. The train was not too bothersome, and it was so neat to watch it go across the bridge. We only wished we could have stayed longer.

Had plenty of room for 10 people, and kids loved it! Awesome view and a nice house.

Lovely home. Very spacious!

Beautiful location that our entire family thoroughly enjoyed! Comfortable house with all the amenities that is perfect for families. Spent much of our time in the gorgeous sun room above the water, and took out the kayaks a few times. Many special touches throughout that add to the experience. We would love to return!
