Alicia was very prompt in dealing with the elevator issue at check in. So nice to have space to accommodate all of our family between the two units. Preparing and serving our meals worked extremely well in the nicely equipped kitchen/ dining area.

A Duluth Delight
Amazing location!! 1/2 a block from access to Lake Superior boardwalk, less than a mile walk to Lift Bridge, and more. This location is wheelchair accessible. Two of us are in electric wheelchairs and there is plenty of room to get around. Very nice large elevator. Our group stayed for 5 nights and ate several meals there. The kitchen if fully stocked with crock pot, griddle, and so many utensils. We would definitely stay there again.

What a beautiful and VERY well appointed apartment. The character of the older building as a backdrop for the lovely decor was great. The amount of space was wonderful as well(the whole floor with our own elevator onto the floor). The hosts have thought of everything and communication was top notch. Of course having our own elevator directly into the apartment and having the elevator take us right to tasty baked goods every morning on the first floor was priceless.

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.

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.
