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!

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.

Beautiful room
We had a wonderful stay at the GG Barnum Mansion in the Jay Cooke suite. The room was large and the bed was ver comfortable. The large shower was a dream we appreciated the little extra touches, like information about restaurants, filled ice cube trays, water bottles and although we didn’t use it—there was even a bag of microwave popcorn for us! I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re in Duluth.

The property was absolutely beautiful! It’s on a quiet street with ample parking. My only complaint was the bathroom cleanliness. I found hair on the floor and in the shower and the tub was slow to drain.

This was a very cute well cared for property.
The shower was strong and hot, and the bed was super comfortable. It’s really high off the ground though!
In room coffee, glasses for whisky and wine, and a real corkscrew!
Beautiful closed in porch for relaxing, and an huge open deck right outside our room. Nice furniture, fancy decor, and easy access.
This boutique mansion was exactly what I wanted!

Meticulously Detailed Retreat
This property was lovingly cared for, demonstrating good craftsmanship and tasteful detailing. It is located on a cul de sac, besides a stream. It is quiet. Even other guests and squeaky floors didn't disturb the peace, quiet, and serenity. Great neighborhood for walking around and viewing all the other mansions. Don't expect much in the way of breakfast and you will be very pleased with the accommodations.
