Beautiful place!! I loved how it was decorated, the colors in the bathroom. Beautiful view of the lake. The outdoor sauna was super cool!! The beds were very comfy. The jacuzzi tub and fireplace were so relaxing. The only thing I wish there was, was darkening curtains. There is a lot of natural lightening in these rooms which is great! But it was a bit blinding in the morning

Extremely comfortable and peaceful

The room was wonderful and felt more like a small apartment instead of a hotel room. The building had a lot of historic character. The bed was extremely comfortable for a good night rest and the location was peaceful and quiet.

Needs new maintenance staff.

Check in was problematic as the lock codes were sent only a few hours ahead if check in and by text rather that email as previously indicated. The room was nice, but there was mold in the shower and the drinking glasses were clearly previously used (lip balm marks).

Pilothouse Suite

The GG Barnum mansion was awesome for a weekend stay! Very clean, easy check-in instructions, delicious fresh baked pastries for breakfast. The Pilothouse Suite was also very clean and private, at the end of the second floor hallway. The room was a bit smaller than I expected from photos, but still enough space for two. Highly recommend for a great stay!

This is a very interesting house to stay in with lots of charm! Much more homey than a hotel. The parking is easy and convenient. I didn't go to Duluth to go out every night, but to relax and recharge. There was a lot of opportunity for that! The only downside is you can hear every time another guest comes into the house. It makes it hard to sleep before midnight or later. Just part of staying in an old house with two flights of creaky steps.

We had an amazing stay, at this gorgeous historic property! I love the aspect of just letting ourselves in, felt so much like coming home to a beautiful top floor apartment of our own! We were in town visiting family and wanted our own place close by, and this was perfect! Loved the homemade breakfast pastries, and made coffee in our room, but there was a whole big pot ready for us downstairs in the piano room. Just so beautiful, and the big windows offered incredible views of the leaves changing colors from the big front porch and our room! Loved the hot tub after a long day hiking and visiting! Thank you so much for providing a unique, historical experience, so much better than a generic hotel! Will for sure stay again!

The room was nice, but much smaller than the pictures lead me to believe. Our room was up three flights of stairs in the back corner of the house, so you should let people know there is no elevator. The clealiness was not great in our room, the whirlpool tub had a lot of hair in it and there were broken binders on the night table. Still gave it a four cause it was nice and an experience. Not to happy with yhe cleanliness of the room though.

Absolutely beautiful property. No one was present on site and I had to dig in my email to find key codes. It was good but a little disorienting.
