We can’t wait to come back!
I really can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The condo is absolutely perfect! The bedrooms are spacious, and comfortable, there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind, and the condo is very well stocked with anything you could need. The bakery below is so good, and the location to other spots to eat was great. We will absolutely be back!

Family fun in Duluth
Aurora House is a beautiful home away from home. The hosts have provided everything you could possibly need, and they are very accommodating to any requests you may have. Our entire family stayed here and there was plenty of room for everyone. We very much enjoyed our stay in Duluth and staying at Aurora House definitely contributed to making fun family memories. I highly recommend staying here!
We met our children and grandchildren in Duluth on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The rest of our family came to Duluth on Thursday for dinner at the Radisson. We explored the arts and theater area. We especially loved the Duluth Best Bread Company on the first floor. Wonderful baked goods!

Sibling trip
We enjoyed our stay at the Aurora House condo. There was plenty of room for our group of six seniors. The beds were very comfortable with luxury bedding. Kitchen and bathrooms were furnished with high end decor. We really enjoyed walking along the lake to Canal Park. The added bonus is the bakery on first floor! Communication with Alicia was very quick and efficient. Thank you for creating a pleasant experience for us.

Last minute getaway
We had plans to go to the north shore for the weekend. When my sister called and asked if she could spend some time with us for the weekend we had to change our original thought of getting a hotel room and expand to at least 3 rooms. This place had the room to handle 5 adults and 3 children. Beautifully decorated and located just down from canal park. Room to relax at night with a special room perfect for 3 kids to unwind.

We had a quick family get together with family from out of state. Showed off the best of Duluth. This place was beyond fantastic to accommodate all of us with plenty of room for the kids and adults to separate. Highly recommended.

Duluth Condo by Lake Superior
Great location. Large Condo with great spaces for conversation and areas to play board games. Wonderful and well stocked kitchen. Loved the brick interior walls and the interior design was well done. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage. We liked everything about this place!

Perfect location for Grandmas
Could not have asked for a better location for marathon weekend. Above a bakery?! Yes, no complaints with that at all. We had to rent a car to get to Duluth, but only used it once more to go to Wisconsin for some Spotted Cow beer. Everything we needed/wanted was in walking distance. My only wish is that the prices didn't get bumped up soo much for marathon weekend. But that's just how it goes.

Wedding Weekend
Four couples stayed in this unit while we were in Duluth for a family wedding. The unit was spacious, clean, and perfect for our group. There were some nice extra features that you don't get in a hotel (high-end towels, several coffee options in the room, laundry available, sound machines in each bedroom for white noise while you sleep, etc.) and it made the unit very welcoming.
We enjoyed having a place for our family to gather each morning/evening. We went downstairs to the bakery for breakfast and the food (and aroma) was amazing. We would definitely stay here again!
