- "My partner and I were looking for a unique way to stay in Duluth to enjoy the fall colors and activities. I found this listing and took a leap of faith, as I didn’t know what to expect staying in a boat! Mandy and John exceeded all expectation, and were very accommodating in making it a great experience. The beds were so warm, even on the chilly nights, the amenities made it feel as comfortable as home, and the whole stay was just the sense of adventure and coziness we were looking for. The stars and sunsets/sunrises from the dock certainly didn’t hurt either :) Thank you for letting us stay on your boat! I thoroughly recommend this vrbo to anyone considering a unique experience in Duluth!"

" - "Will be there again soon" - "I was very satisfied with my weekend stay! Unfortunately, my friend and I were unable to stay in this tent due to a recent storm and the threat of another incoming, so our amazing host, Deb, offered for us to stay in their Little Cabin while still being able to use the tent site. Deb was very accommodating and welcoming, and I can tell she and her husband care extremely about their guests' experiences above all else. When we found difficulty starting a fire due to the recent rain, they gladly started one for us! Their story is also so inspiring. Their property is nothing short of serene and beautiful. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind for the weekend. I would highly recommend any of their stays and I would definitely stay here again!"

- "I was a little concerned with it being a new listing at first, but very happy with our decision. Starting after booking, the hosts / owners were happy to answer any questions and help us prepare for the trip even before we arrived. Jimmy was helpful in getting us, gear, and the rental boat to the island when we arrived at Moccasin Point where we left our vehicle. Arriving we found a beautiful island with a woodland feel. It is a rocky and set up a bit from the water giving wonderful views. We used the popup tent camper provided which was clean and dry and also brought a tent. Few to no bugs. There was more gear and supplies available than we expected like a grill and camp stove with some cooking gear. Being a newer listing is seems they are making improvements on a regular basis and there was some building materials on the island but out of the way did not really take away from the experience. Jimmy was there off and on to answer any questions or available by phone otherwise. Would consider another stay in the future for sure. Thanks for the great time."
