The Most Centrally Located Vacation Rental In Duluth!
About this house rental
Located in Duluth, this lovely house for £165 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Urban Silent Sports Retreat is a house built in 1908 with all original wood floors, that is centrally located a mile up from beautiful Lake Superior. This spacious three bedroom, full bath and a half house with full unfinished basement and attached garage has plenty of safe storage for your bicycles, Nordic skis, canoe's and kayaks! Basement is set up for waxing your Nordic skis and we have some bikes and Nordic skis available for renters. If you are looking for posh, planning to party, smoke at all, do drugs or drink excessively, you'll have to find a different place to rent. If you want a very quiet house in a nice established neighborhood to use as your home base while you paddle the rivers, bike, run, hike or ski the trails of Outdoor Magazine's top outside town, this is your place! Home, with much of it's original woodwork, is located less than a mile from Chester Bowl and Bagley which have both running, mountain biking, and Nordic ski trails. The home is just blocks from being on the Duluth Traverse, less than a mile from Chester, Leif Erickson, and Bagley. We are centrally located so you can quickly get to Spirit Mountain, Superior Hiking Trail, and so, so, so much more!!! Your hosts spend most of their free time on the numerous trails and bodies of water in the area and would love to share their knowledge with you to help you plan your excursions! Limit of 7 people, pets only upon approval, $75 pet fee. Our home is a safe, secure, licensed rental PL20-089 . Check in is after 3pm and check out is 10 am unless we are vacant after you, then you are welcome to stay all day, just ask us...we are super flexible if it's empty before or after! We recently updated the decor in the entire home, replaced quite a bit of the furniture, and got a new stove!

This is only our 2nd vrbo experience and the communication was excellent. Especially good for WI sports fans even tho we route for purple and gold! Our college kids enjoyed the cozy environment for our UMD family weekend.

We stayed at Silent Urban Escape as a mini get away that included our dog. The home was very comfortable and perfectly located to explore Duluth and more. We explored both the Canal park area and walked along the lake. We also took the owner’s suggestion and hiked around Chester Falls. The house was a perfect spot to also drive up the coast to Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock lighthouse. The owners were very easy to reach and were in contact with us early to make sure we were comfortable on one of the hottest days in Duluth. We highly recommend staying at the Silent Urban Retreat.

Cute old home in a great spot. Felt right at home with bedrooms with Wisconsin team themes!

This house is exactly as described in VRBO. The location is very central for activities. The owners are very responsive and helpful in explaining how to get around the area (and answering other questions). The availability of appliances/supplies we needed was very well thought out. For instance, there was shampoo and conditioner available in the bathroom, along with plenty of towels. We had our three adult kids and the one full bathroom upstairs plus the basement toilet were both used. We rotated shower times and didn't have any issues. FYI, there is no grill or backyard to speak of (not an issue for us as we knew that was the case going in). There is no parking on the street, but you can park in the garage. We had a rooftop carrier and so wouldn't fit, but we could easily park sideways along the garage door so there was no issue. I would stay in this house again if we returned to Duluth.

We had an amazing time in Duluth. The owners were very helpful with recommendations. We even got recommendations on where to go from some of the shops downtown. Would highly recommend!

A central location means you're very close to what Duluth has to offer (which is A LOT). The beds are comfy so you can enjoy Duluth while rested. Easy communication with the hosts so if anything comes up, it will be addressed. If available, flexible check-in and check-out times! That really saved us when staying in Duluth for UMD orientation.
The property has all the charm and character you can expect in an old home.
And! We accidentally left a prescription behind. The host contacted us to let us know AND dropped it in the mail for us. Very thoughtful and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay--the house was not fancy but had everything we needed. We especially appreciated that we could bring our dog on our weekend away for a soccer tournament. The games and books available, as well as trail recommendations, made it feel like a getaway and not just a place to rest our heads. Check in communication was easy and quick. Thank you!

Eve and Wayne are great hosts, very informative about property and area. The house is stocked with pretty much anything you might need for your stay! Just be sure to pay attention to the house rules, as you are very close to neighbors.

We enjoyed our stay. It is nice to have a garage to store the car and bikes. The owners are very responsive with questions and suggest great things to do on our visit. It was fun biking in Duluth but the hill to the house is a long haul when returning!

We enjoyed our stay in this simple, comfortable old house on a classic Duluth hill. The house was quirpy, very clean and very funtional. We both cooked meals there and found good restarants to eat out. We had wonderful morning walks some down to the lake and some of us witnessed a deer with triplet babies in the church playground.

This is a great property for active groups. IT was amazing to be able to have our dogs with us and the house had everything and more than you need. The garage was prefect for storing our bikes in between rides. It was a great central location to be able to explore all Duluth had to offer.

My husband and I, along with our 3 young boys (3, 6 & 8) loved our stay at this home. Eve was absolutely wonderful to communicate with and I really appreciated her sincerity and above and beyond helpfulness. We really appreciated their home being stocked with Kleenex in most rooms, this was especially important considering the cold winter weather. Also, the beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean and welcoming. We loved looking through the multitude of games and books available to enjoy! The only thing that ended up being an unforeseen issue was for my husbands parents, who were each visiting us for a few days while we were at the house, was the bathroom. It was not explicitly stated on the listing that neither of the bathrooms would be on the main level. For my family of 5 it was fine but my MIL just had back surgery and was not able to stay with us due to the stairs she would need to climb to use the bathroom throughout the day. Similarly, my FIL has COPD and he also had a very hard time getting up the stairs. Everything else was fantastic! Our family loved snuggling on the large and comfy couch, playing games together at the large wooden table and making memories together that we will always cherish! Thank you, Eve for being a wonderful host! I would absolutely stay at this home again if I it were just my family! I highly recommend this home for its location, charm and wonderful hosts!

It was nice to come visit our family and bring our dog along. Also nice to have a kitchen to make meals. Being within easy walking distance to Chester Park is also a big plus.

Really enjoyed our stay while visiting our daughter at UMD. We needed a place that allowed our three dogs, and they loved it too. It was like staying with a relative with all the comforts of home. And it was so quiet at night! The bed was super comfy! Located in a nice central location, so convenient for wherever we needed to go.

Enjoyed our stay in Duluth. It was great to be able to bring our dog along and have a home base while we skied and snowshoed. Eve had great recommendations for trails to go to.

So glad to have a cozy, warm, and spacious place to gather my family during the death of a family member. We had room to cook big meals, look at boxes of pictures, and generally relax.
Parking was no problem, and the snow--despite record levels--was manageable.
THANK YOU!

This house is nicely located in the center of Duluth. Though the house's age is apparent, it's well-kept and clean. The only thing that we didn't like was how noisy the house is. The hardwood floors throughout the house loudly creak with every single step you take. Granted, there's not much the owners can do about that, but it's something to keep in mind for those that are sensitive to that. It's also a little inconvenient that there is no bathroom on the main floor.

Nice and quiet when needed. Great for biking the traverse and the Bluesfest.
3.0
The property is very old. The description accurately says it is not posh and it is not. The floors creaked when you walked on them. There was a broken lamp in the living room and no over head lighting.
My overall impression that it is a very old home. No A/C, No WIFI, no easy access to the home at night when it is dark from the parking area.
The property owners were easy to communicate with should you have any problems.
Check in by 7:00pm seems early.

This is an older property but it’s great for a long weekend to visit Duluth at a reasonable price. Hotel prices are crazy and don’t have the space and amenities this VRBO does. Just pay close attention to the notes from the owners, and you’ll enjoy your stay. We had a great weekend and the air show was awesome!
