About Bryan & Gina
Bryan & Gina Bortnem
Bryan & Gina purchased this house in 2017
Why Bryan & Gina chose Duluth
We began making regular visits to Duluth years ago and fell in love with the landscape, city and all there is to do here - from hiking, sailing, camping and skiing to simply enjoying the sounds of the waves and ships. Our kids fell in love with Duluth on our many adventures here over the years as well and now attend UMD. We knew that someday we would have to eventually call this place home. While maintaining our current home and this home in Duluth we are finally making it happen.
What makes this house unique
When staying at A Charles Weiss Home, the original woodwork throughout the home, along with the antique furniture and decor give you a sense that you have been transported back in time. If you have an old soul, this place is for you!

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(57 traveller reviews)
This house is a great 1970s-1980s home that has not moved beyond 1970. what u see is not what u get
Pros
1. Very old house with rustic feel. If you want to experience history 1950s house with 1980s comfort. its your right choice.
2. The owner was very responsive since beginning. my interaction with property owner was very smooth
2. no hassle. Property owner repaid the full security deposit without any follow-ups.
Cons - Not sure where to start
1. The house advertises 6000 sq ft.. hardly 2000 is accessible.. lot of closed rooms.
2. The 3rd floor of the house.. from where we expected a glimpse of Lake superior is not accessible from the house. It was completely close out.
3. The backyard of the house if not accessible. It seems to be rented out. Consequently out of the 5 parking lots only 3 is accessible as the renter always double parks
4. If water comes in one bathroom it will reduce pressure in another bathroom.. so you will have fun taking bath
5. None of the bathrooms have a lock :) - so you will need to sing
6. Most of the lights do not work. Its a crystal maze to identify which switch is for which light
7. Owner could have replaced some of the old and broken furniture. Few of the dining chairs are totally unusable
8. overall the house was not clean. including bedding, kitchen utensils, mittens and dish rags. The rugs and upholstery were so dirty we literally had to keep the kids off them. This I believe contributed to the unpleasant smell every time we entered the house. Would recommend to have your bedding handy.
9. The bedding is really bad and screams 1980s all the time. The comforters are totally not usable. Would recommend to have your bedding handy.
Family Wedding
The house was perfect for our week. We were in town for our son's wedding. We rented both the main house and the upstairs apartment, and were able to accommodate family and friends comfortably. It's great to have such a large home with lots of rooms to spread out in. The pool table was used all weekend, as was the piano and organ, and the large dining table (for eating, as well as playing games). People gathered on the porch, in the kitchen, the library, and the sitting room for visiting or just reading with coffee. Yard games were played in the backyard. Very clean, and very comfortable. Would have liked to have more cookware available, eating utensils, towels and sheets. Or at least, access to the washer/drier. It's tough to stay 5 nights somewhere and use all the same bedding/wash-cloths/dish-cloths. Had to find our own laundromat. Ran low on toilet paper, and paper towels. Assumed these were standard supplies at a VRBO. But, my expectations may have been too high(?) I don't know all the 'rules'. Overall, Gina was great to work with. And, our family wedding week was greatly enhanced by the beautiful, fun, clean accommodations. Thank you, Gina! Best wishes for your new life in Duluth!
Truly a lovely, relaxing, historical, and unique home
We cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The home was both elegant and comfortable. Everyone in our group from age 8 to age 74 immensely enjoyed our stay.
The location of this home in relation to getting anywhere in the Twin Ports was convenient.
Really nice turn of the century home
Our group came up for the Northland Invitational GolfTournament and had a great time at the house. The porch is a wonderful spot to gather and visit after golf and dinner.
Great historic house, excellent location.
Our family had a great time. Will recommend to others.
New Year Stay
It was a busy time as we were in Duluth for a Granddaughters Wedding. We mainly needed the bedrooms and the showers. The front steps were not shoveled. Being 79 years old, I felt uncomfortable going up and down them for fear of falling-the railing was not much help. The use of those tub showers were next to impossible. Otherwise we were comfortable. Could have used a little bit later check-out-as we had been up quite late for the wedding, and it was New Years Eve.
Location
You are invited to experience a return to Victorian Duluth at the Historic A. Charles Weiss Home. This 1895 Victorian Colonial is filled with classic decor throughout and heavily adorned with woodwork. The A. Charles Weiss is a stately Victorian home located in Duluth, Minnesota. The Lakewalk, which leads to the charming Canal Park Area, is a short three blocks from the home's front porch.
Duluth is a vibrant city set on the shores of Lake Superior. Home to a busy port and wealth of industry because of its location on the lake, Duluth is also a popular vacation destination. There is beautiful scenery and loads of activities to keep everyone in the family entertained.
Lake Superior is the natural attraction of Duluth. There are many cruises that run throughout the year. You can enjoy lunch, dinner or just relax as you enjoy the view. The Edge is a giant Polynesian-themed water park filled with thrilling water slides and loads of splashy entertainment that even older and adult kids will enjoy. The Timber Twister is unique roller coaster ride that runs through the forest. Sharp hairpin bends and a 3,200-foot descent down the mountain make it a thrilling ride.
Lake Superior Zoo is set on 16 acres of rocky hills covered with tall pine trees. The Kingsbury Creek runs through the zoo, creating a wonderful natural environment in which to view the bears, lions and wide variety of animals. The Great Lakes Aquarium can be found on Duluth's waterfront. This incredible hands-on discovery center allows visitors insight into the underwater realm of the lakes. Daily shows have divers interacting and feeding fish in a giant water tank. There are more than 70 different species of fish, amphibians, mammals and birds housed at the aquarium.
Duluth has a rich cultural heritage and there are many museums, historic homes and estates that are open for public viewing. Historic railway tours make for a fun excursion for the whole family. Learn about the early pioneers, the history of the region, and enjoy the spectacular scenery. There is also an opportunity to spot birds and wildlife in the forest.
In the wintertime, the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area has 22 ski runs, a super pipe for snowboarders, and 22 miles of cross country skiing. A perfect place for both beginner and advanced skiers, the ski runs and lifts are well maintained and the resort is said to have some of the best skiing of the region.
