Mesaba View | Downtown with Gorgeous Lake Views

Welcome to Mesaba View. We look forward to hosting you in this beautiful, historic and carefully restored home.

While it may look like a typical redstone townhouse, 3 Mesaba Place is uniquely special in Duluth's history. In fact it was built in 1880 which is far before Duluth's turn of the century growth spurt. In the panic of 1873 when Jay Cooke went bankrupt Duluth shrunk to just over 3,000 residents. These early inhabitants built slab wood structures mostly along the water that were not built to last. Duluth recovered the 1873 recession and at 1880 was just over 12,000 residents. If you can imagine it, 3 Mesaba Place was “High on the hill” when it was built. At the edge of town it truly looked over the city and lake with the best view in town when it was built. While this townhouse looks fairly non-descript, this structure was actually one of the very first structures built in Duluth, that was built to last in which set the tone for future construction in the city. At 139 years old, we've restored this vintage townhouse for many years to come. So many early structures were not built to last and don't survive through the centuries. When we found this gem we felt it fitting to save it, and we hope you enjoy Mesaba View.

This condo is full of charm and modern amenities featuring a full kitchen that supplies all the basic amenities you will need to cook and dine during stay. While the dining area is tastefully decorated and has ample room to enjoy meals.

The living area has a large window overlooking Lake Superior, Downtown Duluth and the Canal Park's Aerial Lift Bridge. Curl up on the large leather sofa or wander out to the patios to take in this one of a kind view. The living area is also furnished with a comfortable and stylish daybed for additional sleeping space.

Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and a large bathroom. The master bedroom located directly at the top of the stairs features more Lake Superior Views, a king size bed and a large walk-in closet. The other two rooms are decorated in a simple, minimalist style and house comfortable beds so you can rest easy.

The star of the the bathroom is the large jacuzzi tub and in unit laundry. This unique room also has a separate shower and walk out patio.

Mesaba View features ample amenities such as: WiFi, Hulu, Netflix, off street parking for one vehicle, seasonal AC from mid May to mid October, second level beds and bath for assured privacy and an absolutely breathtaking view.

Week in Duluth
Our stay started a little rough on our arrival but was fixed quickly. We initally came in to a place that had not been cleaned. We were sent to another olace to sleep and chose to come back to the original booking. It was cleaned quickly so we could return after some sleep.We were happy with the rest of our stay and would stay again.

Beautiful historic home in great location!
This is a beautifully restored historic home with amazing views, conveniently located in Duluth. We travelled to Duluth for a weekend mix of sightseeing and relaxation. We love Bentleyville and were able to spend an evening there; but also were able to enjoy our view of it each night from the living room and master bedrooms! The home is spacious enough for 7 adults with comfortable beds. Great communication with management before and during our stay. The driveway was a little tricky to find at first (instructions were emailed to us prior to our stay); we just happened to have arrived at night and in the rain! We were thankful a light was left on welcoming us when we arrived! We would definitely recommend staying here!

Convenient weekend stay
The property is in a great location. There are two stairways, so the more narrow steps didn't cause any problems. My younger kids navigated both set of steps great. The kitchen worked well for making a meal. We felt the mattresses were firm for sleeping. We communicated with the managers and they were very responsive.

Adorable House
Loved this adorable renovated historic home! Property management was very responsive and check in and out was great. Location as far as proximity to great restaurants, breweries and things to do is great! However, the area surrounding the property seems to be going through some renewal with nearby properties uninhabited and boarded up and some going through renovations. Although nothing specific happened to make us feel unsafe, it just seemed a little sketchy as we walked our dogs a few blocks around the property. Even with this though we would definitely stay here again. It worked perfectly for a home base for our family of 6 and 2 dogs. Truly an adorable place with great character!

Baby Shower Weekend
Very nice over all. Clean. Comfortable beds. Met our needs for a family weekend in Duluth. Lots of snow put a damper on plans. Lack of snow removal from parking lot was a bit hazardous.
