Relaxing and quiet
This was our second time here. I like how close it is to the lake, yet out of the way enough from the main road through town for a bit of solitude. Looking forward to come here again.

Spring Break
We love the North Shore and exploring. The location of Agate Bay Cottage is convenient and great for all experiences. The house is clean and cozy with a woodstove and open floor plan. We loved the ability to cook and bake. We made cookies our first night! The best part was being able to enjoy time together leisurely with our two dogs. We will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cottage with great location
A group of us used this as a base for a winter hiking trip. It's great location within walking distance of numerous bars and restaurants. It's a beautiful cottage. The only drawback is that it's a bit pricey.

Overall we really liked the cottage. The amenities were perfect for our needs. We were hoping for a better view of the lake though. Everything was clean. And we enjoyed the quietness while we were there.

Home away from home
We’ve stayed at this property several times in all seasons. The cleanliness level is always top notch. We enjoy the walking accessibility to most everywhere in Two Harbors. It’s also a great base for day trips up the Shore. The ability to bring our pup with us makes it our first choice whenever we are in the area.

Great place to stay in Two Harbors
This was a great place to stay in two harbors. Close to walking trails, restaurants, the brewery and easy to get in and out of town. Having garage access was a nice touch for piece of mind as well.

Getaway
Agate Bay Cottage was perfect for our needs. It was a comfortable place to stay with 2 queen sized beds in the main bedroom, 2 bathrooms, full-size kitchen and throw blankets to protect furniture from our 6 1/2 month old puppy. We appreciated how clean the entire place was. Friends of ours were staying at Burlington Bay Campgrounds which was a 5 minute drive from our cottage. We met them for day hikes. We plan to return to Agate Bay Cottage for our next Teo Harbors visit.

Great location
The location was fantastic! Close to restaurants, train depot, walking trails and the pier. We easily drove up to a few state parks. The home itself was not as clean as we had hoped. It was fine but definitely not the cleanest. Lots of animal fur in many places and the main area smelled like dog when the fan was on. We kept the fan off and it was fine after that. We really appreciated all the pots, pans, coffee machines, toiletry amenities, tissues and the fireplace! The beds & bedding were comfortable, as well as the 3 chairs in the main area. ( I did not sit on the couch at all.) We would consider coming back again during the same time frame because the location is so great.

Great Location!!
This is a wonderful home, very clean, everything you need, and overall very comfortable!! It's a great location, midway to everything we wanted to do on the north shore and even over to Wisconsin. We will definitely stay here again if we're planning a trip to the area again. The highlight of the area was a gondola ride at the ski resort, to see the fall colors in Lutsen!! That was AWESOME!

Hot Temps and No AC, little warm, not bad
The location was perfect, clean and fresh! Missed hearing Lake Superior but the location was such you could see it from afar, walk, ride bike or drive to beaches within minutes. Eat before 8:00 & 9:00, nearby places close then. Castle Danger Tap Room was just down the block. Quiet and very safe feel being just off a public parking area. The garage was awesome for car and bikes! We arrived for an unusually hot Labor Day weekend. Temps rose from 80’s to 85, and inside each day became warmer and warmer due to warmer nights with no AC. Thankfully evening’s cool breezes and the ceiling fans helped to make it more comfortable and sleeping was fine.

Unexpected Gem!
Our family of 3 had a wonderful last minute stay at agate bay cottage. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable and relax. The location was perfect to walk to the beach, breakwater, lighthouse, and of course castle danger brewery to unwind after a long day of adventuring. Bonus: there is a high speed EV charger in the adjacent parking lot for those traveling in an EV. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

We chose this location based on the conversation we had with the property owner. It was a great location for a family with dogs, quiet but very convenient to shops in Two Harbors and walking near Agate Bay. All amenities were available which made the stay very comfortable. We would highly recommend this house and hope to return!
