No matter what your age you will never forget the experience of staying at the North Shores only RETRO Vacation Rental! Vinyl records, retro popcorn machine, 3 large 50 inch screen TVs, electric fireplace, unique decor, make this truly a special retreat. This special getaway will not disappoint. Walking distance to several restaurants, gift shops, and of course ice cream. Six blocks from Minnesota's famous Castle Danger Brewery, 1000ft ore boats, or take a walk on the unforgettable break wall and breathe!
We visited the Duluth area for the 4th of July. We hit some hot spots: Split Rock Lighthouse, Black Beach, Gooseberry Falls, Bettyâs Pies, Enger Park and the canal.Relaxed at the Twist and Shout. Enjoyed listening to music provided.Thank you for a great stay.
Really loved the location and decor of this house! I had a few issues that were resolved to my satisfaction and definitely plan to rebook for next year!
We stayed here for our annual Motherâs Day trip.
Very cute - clean and fun
There are a set of killer stairs to climb so if you have folks with knee issues it is something to be aware of đ
Twist and shout lives up to its name, super fun stay!
Location, location, location! Walkable to all the fun in Two Harbors. Fabulous fun 50s theme space, bedrooms and living space was comfortable and luxurious. We definitely recommend staying here.
Nicely renovated older home would be nice even if the weather doesnât cooperate. Nice place to hang out.
Centrally located property could walk anywhere in town. Loved the experience.
Great little place with super fun decor. Walked to restaurants and bars which was perfect and just a short hop to hiking and shopping. What more could you ask for during a weekend with friends?
Over all awesome, but some problems with air conditioner control with kitchen very cold and bedrooms were some what too warm. Some flys coming in with air conditioning set up around window. Would stay again and recommend to others. Decorating was fantastic. Felt homey.
The property has a one-of-a-kind feel that is true to the pictures! Conveniently located along the main road, which was helpful for our group traveling to Lutsen for a wedding. Thanks!
Fun atmosphere and responsive host. Bed was comfy, cute coffee bar, fluffy towels, lots of cute details and vintage dishes. We enjoyed listening to some old records on the record player.
Main issues: entry way light was all but burnt out. There were quite a few flies to contend with. There were a lot of remote controls but we couldn't figure out what they were for.
We LOVED this property! It's the perfect getaway location in Two Harbors, within walking distance to many fun shops. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was large enough for multiple cooks! The nostalgic theme throughout was perfectly done and Janelle and Brad were excellent hosts - very good communication and they responded immediately to my questions when we booked and when we stayed. They even decorated for our birthday celebration!! I would definitely stay again and will recommend this property to my friends and family!
We enjoyed our short stay in Two Harbors. The top floor of this home was decorated with a fun 50's theme throughout. The coffee and popcorn was a fun and appreciated feature. The weather was quite warm when we stayed mid-September. There was a portable A/C unit in the kitchen with fans for the bedrooms. The kitchen stayed nice and cool, but the bedrooms were uncomfortably warm. If we opened the windows, the street noise was quite loud. The stairs going up to the unit are quite steep so for some that could be a challenge. Overall this was a convenient, clean and great stay for our getaway. Thank you Janelle!
Super cute property! We REALLY enjoyed our stay! Be aware that this is the upper level of a house, so there are stairs to get to the property. Also, there is no central air conditioning - only a room air conditioner in the kitchen. We brought 2 box fans with us for the bedroom windows and they helped to circulate the cooler evening air into the rooms.
This place is adorable beyond words. Decorated with great memorabilia from Elvis, Marilyn and eclectic 50âs fun themed items. We enjoyed the varied selection of original records and played them nightly as we rested from our dayâs activities. Janelle the owner was great, she communicated with all the details we needed. This place does not have ac but with the north shore breezes we made due. I do wish it had some fans to provide some white noise for sleeping with the windows open the passing cars were a bit loud. All that said I would stay here again in a minute. I would highly recommend this charming place. Clean, safe, great beds, all the kitchen items youâd ever need, a fun old fashioned movie type popcorn popper, easy accessâŠand a great host. Book it now if you can.
Very cute property - the property owner must of had a blast decorating! Close to downtown on the main street going through town. A bit noisy but was hilarious hearing the big rigs going by putting on their jake breaks!! Reminded us of another time in our lives and apartment living. We had a couple of hot days, Janelle called to say the air conditioner came in and had the maintenance guy bring it up to install, we only had it running probably an hour since we were gone touring in the daytime & it cooled off nice at night, the breeze through the windows was awesome & plenty of ceiling fans to help. A good time was had and was of course, too short. Hope to be back again someday - the North Shore is just beautiful. Thanks Janelle for a nice stay!!
Yes this place is as adorable as it looks with its theme and liberal use of Hobby Lobby signs. It was also clean and well stocked. The downtown area is only about 4 blocks away but the places on route 61 are really close. Super close. That is because the house is located on 61, and if you are unfamiliar, route 61 is the main road up and down the north shore.
Like any house it has some good and some not as good:
1) You share the house with other renters. Being an older house, you can hear them. You are renting the top floor and upon entering you have about a 14 step climb to your area.
2) The house is on route 61 and you should expect a lot of traffic noise. A. Lot.
3) Wifi wasn't great. We ended up using our phone hotspot for the majority of our stay.
4) The rooms can get pretty warm during the summer, and there is an air conditioner, but it's in the kitchen and doesn't really cool the rest of the house off. (We put one of their fans in the kitchen doorway and that helped a little)
5) Great theme - adds to the ambiance.
6) It was super clean.
Born and raised in Two Harbors I want everyone to experience Two Harbors and fall in love with our community. As CEO of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce and Executive Director of Lovin Lake County I have a strong passion for tourism, Entrepreneurship, business, and fun. My husband and I also own and operate a property management company specializing in vacation rentals. We want everyone to love the North Shore as much as our family does by providing amazing experiences for you to make lifetime memories.
This property is in the heart of Two Harbors. Within blocks to all the high lights. It is a historic home with amazing character. This property is currently home to 2 vacation rentals and 2 more in the making. My dream is to have themed special rentals for you to build memories in and enjoy all the special details they have to offer.
Twist and Shout is a testimony to the 50's. Well thought out details were put into the decor, the dishes, the music, the games every part of this unit we hope is a trip down memory lane or a glimpse of some to the greatest times. Play vinyl records, watch the lava lamp, curl up to movies, make popcorn, snuggle up in the round Marilyn Monroe bed, you will not be board in this special space! Our guests so far have given us rave reviews and can't wait to return with family and friends. We hope you take the chance and check out our Twist & Shout retreat!
