    Love this historic property - favorite place to stay in Duluth. Our room was beautiful; sitting on the terrace with a coffee or a glass of wine was wonderful; and it is so close to downtown and the U while being tucked into a quiet residential area, it is perfect.

    Beautiful, well maintained historic property. They have managed to provide modern amenities while maintaining the manor’s character. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The shared areas were extraordinary. A minor complaint was that the morning coffee had run out before 8:30 and there was no one there to replenish it. Regardless, this is a wonderful spot for a special stay. Highly recommended.

    The Cotton Mansion is a uniquely beautiful and elegant site in Duluth, which, considering its location amongst other great historical estates, says a great deal. This mansion has a rare look, regality, and serenity that makes staying here memorable. I've stayed here twice now, and each room is comfortable, well stocked for your comfort/convenience, and offers an atmosphere all its own. If you're looking for peace, quiet, privacy, all wrapped in a gorgeous and comfy setting, you'll find it here. Enjoy your stay!
