Duluth is a small, quaint, and friendly city set in the sun-struck state of Georgia, just outside the state’s bustling capital city of Atlanta.

The array of Duluth vacation rentals includes cozy cottages and family-sized homes with tranquil, secluded gardens gathered around refreshing swimming pools. With the city’s mix of shopping opportunities, cultural attractions, and charming fairs and festivals, there’s plenty to do, whether you’re traveling with the kids or enjoying a romantic break.

Serious shopping in downtown Duluth

Venture out of your Duluth vacation rental and treat yourself to an indulgent shopping trip downtown. Here you’ll find several shopping centers strung with clothing and cosmetics stores, and plenty of cute boutiques dotted along Main Street, such as florists and chocolatiers. Just north of Main Street, the French Quarter Shopping Center celebrates trendy vintage stores, independent book stores, and antiques shops filled with rare finds. If shopping’s not your bag, enjoy a game of golf on one of Duluth’s many tree-lined courses – there are mini and crazy golf courses for the kids, too.

Hot, humid summers and red-orange falls

Duluth delights in a humid subtropical climate, and experiences all 4 seasons. Winters are cool and can be unpredictable, sometimes welcoming balmy spring-like highs, and sometimes seeing extended days of ice and snow. The peak summer months – July and August – enjoy regular temperatures in the 80s, with a blend of intense sunshine and hot, tropical rain. Bear in mind that humidity is high in summer, so booking a Duluth vacation rental with a garden and pool in this season is wise. Fall brings balmy to cool temperatures, fiery displays of foliage, and the family-fun of Duluth Fall Festival.
