The Sunrise House is part of the Riverwest Vacation Rental Development at the base of Spirit Mountain in Duluth, MN. However, it is privately owned and managed directly by the owner rather than the development, which gives you a more personal, specialized, and overall better experience!

The best part is that our homes have no construction occurring next door, and the most beautiful, unobstructed views of the Sunrise!

Ski Hut, Burnett Dairy, and Spirit Mountain Ski Resort are next door for convenient equipment rental needs and last-minute specialty cheese snacks.

This Premier Sunrise house is at the heart of Duluth's outdoor access to adventure. Take advantage of a variety of activities available from this convenient and scenic location. With easy access to the riverfront trail, Munger paved trail, Superior Hiking Trail, and Duluth Traverse mountain biking trails, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Make the most of your outdoor experience here!

Here's what our guests have to say:

"This space offers stunning sunrise views that we absolutely love! Our entire group gathered and enjoyed meals together at the large dining table. The place was spotless, and numerous professionally decorated items added a truly comfortable ambiance! We loved all the extras and the amazing Sauna!" Tammy - Rochester, MN

As a dedicated family-owned business, we take great pride in going above and beyond for our guests. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience every time you visit!

Experience a relaxing sauna, mountain bike, trail hike, paddling, fishing, hiking, and skiing with the entire family. The trail and water access for hiking, e-biking, mountain biking, gravel biking, and paddling make this location perfect for any interest!

We had an amazing time! The house was beautiful and clean. The trays on the beds added a very welcoming touch. The management was very attentive to anything we needed. The only negative was no comfortable seating on the main level for those that have difficulty with stairs or want to keep the cook company. Thank you for allowing us to be your guests, we will be back!

Very nice for a family vacation

The house is very nice, very clean and new. The hosts did an excellent job stocking the kitchen, bathrooms, and closets (we could have used more towels and washcloths, but there were 7 of us). It’s near the freeway, which allows for easy access to activities and restaurants, but it’s not a loud area. There are nearby trails within easy walking distance, which were excellent. To other folks bringing dogs, just know that the yard is not fenced, and you are charged an additional daily fee to bring your dogs along (not clear from the listing). But overall, a very nice rental.

Spacious new build that had plenty of space for our business retreat. A comfortable place to stay and plenty of room to meet. Great trails just outside our door for walk/running or biking. Close to Duluth restaurants for dining options or a great kitchen to dine in. Would highly recommend these units!

Beautiful new property, well stocked

Our family stayed here with a group of 11. We had plenty of space. The facility is brand new, it is well stocked in the kitchen items, with many small appliances, spices utensils, etc. We were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities that were supplied by the host. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Just a few minutes outside of town and at the base of spirit mountain. Our kids really enjoyed Spirit mountain so that was a plus for us. I would highly recommend this property to families.
