Salyards Mansion

Absolutely perfect honeymoon spot! Booked a cottage suite and it was modern and had everything we needed! Adorable and quiet neighborhood! The sauna was fabulous! I feel spoiled!!

The location/neighborhood was quiet, the room was comfortable and clean. The grounds were lovely. We felt safe and “at home” on the hill. We would have enjoyed learning more about the history of Salyards and even the “Hewitt” our room was named after. Navigating the cast iron tub was a bit challenging without grab bars. Breakfast was basic: coffee, tea, fruit, muffin/scone. This was our first trip to Duluth and definitely grounded us for a wonderful vacation with fond memories to cherish!

We were told there was a garage since we were traveling by motorcycle, there was not. Needs painted and updated outside. The lamps flickered all the time, thought maybe it was just the bulbs but it happened with three different lamps and none of them would charge phones even though the phones showed they were connected. There was a large jet tub in our room, nice! But wait, we couldn't regulate the water temp to get enough hot water in it. I sent a note to the VRBO rep and said we had a few issues and would like to pass them onto the owners or managers but we never heard back from them except for a generic email asking us to rate them...so here we are. Too much to pay for these kinds of issues. Hope they get them straightened out!

my fiancée and i stayed here from april 16th to 19th in the north shore retreat room (she wanted a jetted tub, i just wanted to be with her). the room itself was cozy, well-decorated, and we enjoyed all of the little notes telling us about the history of the mansion, how to properly use certain amenities, and things to do in duluth. i hadn’t been since i was about ten but she had never been so the ideas on places to visit were very helpful for us! the stay itself was quiet, romantic, and well needed for both of us. we treated it as our engagement getaway and would love to come back to salyards one day! such a beautiful mansion in a nice area - fairly close to just about everything we wanted to do (most drives were a maximum of 10 minutes) and we enjoyed seeing the deer in the yard every so often. :) definitely consider salyards over a hotel any day!

We had a lovely visit to Salyard’s Mansion in Duluth! The Ryerson Suite, and the mansion itself, was charming and cozy. As a “boutique hotel” it’s NOT a bed and breakfast. They did have coffee, tea, yummy homemade muffins, scones, etc. in the foyer in the morning. The living room was decorated very nicely and the all-season porch had places to sit and visit. The building felt safe with codes to enter, and we were free to come and go without bothering anyone. Our suite had its own sitting room and fireplaces in each room. Dozens of small touches made our stay perfect! We will be back to Salyard’s Mansion!

Such an adorable spot. We stayed in the guest house, and the room had a hot tub in the room which was nice. It wasn’t cleaned out or something because there was black residue in there once we drained it, and we weren’t dirty. Otherwise, cute spot with a beautiful property. In the morning you can go to the main house for coffee and pastries. Would stay again!

We had an amazing stay here. We stayed in the Lake Superior room in the carriage house. When we first walked it, we noticed how clean it was. It was very easy to get in and out using the door code. The location was perfect. 8 minutes from Canal Park and not far from some of the state parks. We were able to get out and go hiking. We will definitely come back!
