Nice, but lacking full attention to detail.
Its a nice property, but there are some things that make it feel this is not a labor of love for the owners. Positives:That VIEW!Well stocked kitchen (including a garlic press!)Nicely decoratedHvac system keeps the home plenty warmClose to duluth and surrounding actvitiesManagement was very responsive.Good selection of games providedNegatives:I dont think the bedding was washed. The comforter in the main bedroom along w one of the robes definitely smelled of mens cologne.The washing machine is very dirty and has an intense mold smell and needs to be cleaned (regularly for a front load since the door gets closed a lot)The water heater is not sufficient for the amount of guests this location advertises as able to accomodate, and all 5 of us had to take cold showers one day even tho the dishwasher and wash machine had not been run 10 hours prior to showers.There was an issue w water leaking through the rock walls in one of the bedrooms (tho thus was addressed quickly)There was a black headband and a wine box discovered in a guest bedroom upon entry to the cottage which again indicates cleaning is not strongly emphasized.The front porch steps are exceedingly slippery on a cold morning following a foggy night...non skids should be put on the steps as several of us nearly fell down the stairs. No washcloths or hand towels provided in the bathrooms. We had to seek them out on our own from the locked storage area. Would i stay again? Maybe. But i would

Great experience at the Gales!
We had a wonderful stay at the Gales! It was the perfect location for our group of 6.We met our adult children and their significant others for a holiday weekend. The house was clean and had everything we could ask for. The view was breathtaking and we were able to enjoy fun time together as a family while also having space for everyone to sleep and relax. If another trip to Duluth is in our future, we will definitely stay again and likely for longer. Thank you for an amazing family weekend and lots of wonderful memories made!

Split Rock Lighthouse Ceremony
Stayed here for the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald. Watched the lighting ceremony at Split Rock. The location was perfect to explore Canal Park and watch the lake traffic. The house was super clean. We built a fire almost every night and watched the sun set. Beds were very comfortable and nice pillows. The living room couch is very low to the ground so stacked some pillows on it to make it easier to get up. (We are all senior citizens). Great views of the lake. Would stay here again.

Very clean, nice location-not as quiet as I prefer.
Nice amenities, right on water. The only negative is there is a unit above and you can hear everything. Them walk, flush toilet, drop stuff on the floor. If you are a light sleeper, like me, you cannot sleep in main bedroom. I had to sleep in one downstairs for quiet. Location is great, place is immaculate and has extras like games, spices etc ...

I cannot begin to put into words how amazing this property is. The cleanliness, the style, the comfort of the beds, the furniture. Everything was above and beyond. Tabitha, you are such a gracious host. We enjoyed the outdoors, I was on a kayak and swimming for 3 hours. The water was shockingly warm. This house is absolutely lovely and tended too by gracious giving hands. We cannot begin to thank you.

Perfect Sistercation
This property provided my sisters and I the perfect getaway. Everything we could have needed was readily available, including a neighborhood grocery store, brewery, and liquor store within easy walking distance. One thing the listing is not clear on is that the house has 2 VRBO listings... the main and lower level that we rented plus an upper floor. Each has a private entrance. Our first night at the firepit, we found ourselves competing with the voices coming down from the upper balcony and through our open windows once we moved inside.

Super pleased with our stay at The Gales! House came with everything from Keurig coffee pods, shampoo, bathrobes to hybrid kayak-paddleboards, life vests and fire wood. We brought our own kayaks and had calm waters 3 mornings in a row for paddles around Brighton Beach. Fire pit, fenced backyard and stairs down to the lake were fantastic. We rented adjoining property The Vue and had extra room for the rest of the family. Highly recommended!

The Gales, a lovely home on Lake Superior in Duluth
We had a lovely week at The Gales with dear friends. The space was thoroughly accommodating, very clean and well appointed. The Gales is positioned directly on the Lake Superior shore and provides lovely views at sunrise and dusk. The alluring white noise of the waves was an added peaceful feature. The owner contacted us the day of our arrival about a scheduled repair to the air conditioning system that evening and provided a sizable refund to use for dinner at one of Duluth’s many lovely restaurants while the HVAC crew was working. The repair was completed promptly with no intervention whatsoever from us. That proactive service was remarkable. We recommend The Gales and plan to return to this lovely home!
