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 ...

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
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.

This Rental had Everything
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!

A Wonderful Stay in Duluth
First class property! From the moment we walked in, we were WOWed by the beautiful home and the unbelievable view of Lake Superior. All of the amenities were top notch (like coffee pods, monogramed towels, toiletries, etc.), there were even snacks left for us and the furnishings were top of the line. The house was immaculate, the grounds were so inviting and the whole experience was a solid 10!

When we arrived, we were in heaven seeing the property. It was modern, so clean, and it had everything you could want to enjoy your time there.

Girls Weekend Paradise
We absolutely loved our stay at the Gales. There were 4 of us spending a girls weekend exploring the area. The house is perfectly located to allow you direct access to the water for swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding, and to easily access the restaurants, shops, and walking trails / parks nearby. We loved everything about our stay - and used the kayaks to do a nice paddle up coast, the firepit for smores, and the house for spending time together. Truly a gem - hoping to come back!
