Rustic cabin

Nice rustic cabin for our family of five. FYI, there are no traditional bedrooms in this cabin. The beds are in the living space and a loft, and a twin is in an entryway with a fridge. We managed with this but it was less than ideal if parents and kids have different sleep schedules. There are mice in the cabin and I cleaned up a decaying mouse after smelling it for the first night which I was unhappy about. Otherwise the cabin was well-equipped and clean. Suggestion to host to have more deck furniture available; there were only two chairs; and remove the large yellow-top bins from the loft as it felt like it was a storage area.

Perfect Old School Cabin

We had an amazing week at this very special cabin. It was the perfect blend of North Shore old school cabin but with every comfort you could wish for. The beds were incredibly soft and the huge fireplace was so cozy each evening. The very best part was the HUGE windows that gave you an amazing shore view of waves crashing on the rocks! You can even explore the rocky shore as it is part of the property. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was!

Cute cabin with Lake Superior shoreline

We loved this cabin, and it has been one part of our best experiences with Lake Superior. We came in the end of summer. It is quiet and with access to the shore and Lake Superior. In the cabin, it has almost everything you will need for entertaining your family, friends and yourself. Plenty of games (puzzle, chess, board games) if you came with friends and kids. Every day is so sunny and beautiful, we watched the sunrise and sunset, nothing can compete with the view.

This is an amazing place! It is truly an old family style cabin right on the lake.

We love this cozy space how old fashion it is the amazing fireplace the amazing location. The only thing we would’ve changed would be to have a few more comfortable beds. But other than that it was amazing and we will go back in a heartbeat.

Rustic and comfortable, a rare find.

This is the place to lay back and enjoy the quiet. To get up early and see the sky come to life before sunrise. The cabin lacked for nothing.

We always love coming to the north shore and we were excited to come up and spend some time by the lake. We love how close the cabin was to the water. The kitchen was well supplied, the livingroom was ample and we loved the fieldstone fireplace. That being said there were a few things that concerned us. Firstly, accessibility: my mother is almost 82 and there were no handrails on the outside or inside steps, not great for people with some balance issues. Secondly, the bathroom. There are no pictures of it on the website. We falsely assumed it wouldn’t be an issue but the space is SO small it made us wrestle with basic facilities use. It felt like a broom closet. There are no grab bars, the toilet is slanted and the vent fan is extremely louid. Third, the cushions on the outside deck chairs are torn and molded on the other side. Fourth: general cleanliness and upkeep: the pans in the kitchen were greasy as were the kitchen curtains. The blinds in the living room let off a plume of dust when let down at night. 3 of 4 of the outside deck lights were broken off in the socket. One functioning light. The fire extinguisher in the kitchen had a tag that said last serviced in 1994, the kitchen has a broken window, and the closing mechanism is off on one of the living room crank windows so I had to go outside and push it closed, duct tape to patch the sliding screen door. Lastly: the driveway into the unit has huge ruts from where the rain has washed it away.

Old School throwback cabin!

Short stay on the North Shore in an old (but very clean and comfortable) cabin positioned on the shoreline of the big lake. A perfect getaway. Limited cell phone coverage = kids connecting with nature, playing board games and talking to their parents. Great time in a great location in very cool cabin.

Nostalgic North Shore Experience

We stayed here for 4 wonderful nights. We routinely VRBO cabins, but this one is the first one that makes us want to immediately book again for next year. The personal pictures and photo albums make it feel like home. The view of Lake Superior is perfect. The sound of waves can be heard with the windows open. The kids had a blast playing on the rocks (in life vests). All in all I think this has been our best “up north” experience and will definitely be return visitors.

Serene Cabin on Lake Superior

My husband, toddler, mother in law, and I had a wonderful few days here. The lake view can't be beat and we even saw the most beautiful double rainbow after a brief rain one evening. We had everything we needed for restful sleep and cozy cooking. Grand Marais is only a short drive away. The only thing I didn't realize was that two of the beds are right in the living space (this could be my fault for not reading closely!). It was totally fine and still very comfortable though. We would definitely come again!

Terrific location and view

The hike down to the cabin in the winter was slippery but the view incredible. There is an addition to the original cabin that consists of one large living room complete with a stone wood burning fireplace. The "end" which faces Lake Superior consists of three large picture windows; basically a wall of glass. What an incredible view of the lake which is only fifty feet away. Our first night the sky was filled with green Northern Lights. Can't say enough!

Cluttered mess at the best. Just because it is a cabin, doesn't mean it needs to be filled to the brim with "stuff". A 30 year old apartment refrigerator in the porch?

A slice of heaven

One of the most charming places I have ever had the pleasure of staying. I saw a review from someone who stayed previously that said there was "too much stuff" in the cabin. I couldn't disagree more! It was homey and charming with little touches that made you know it has been well loved for generations. We sat in front of the fireplace and played board games. The sound of the crashing waves lulled us to sleep. We literally never wanted to leave and will DEFINATELY be back. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Directions to the cabin were straightforward and check in was a breeze. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. It really is a lovely, lovely piece of North Shore heaven.

Wow!

What a cool cabin! So many fun details, we kept noticing more and more. From the awesome Hamms beer lamp to the rotary phone to the kitchen that was so fully stocked, it had everything we needed and then lots more. So many thoughtful details too, like a really great sound system for listening to WTIP, and a Smart TV for when we wanted to feel a little more modern and watch some Hulu.We LOVED this cabin! Like a time capsule but with just the right number of modern amenities added to it to make it nice and comfy.

Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed here a couple years ago and loved it so much we came back. And now we can’t wait to come again! It’s cute, comfortable, and conveniently located. It’s just a few feet from the shore of Lake Superior, so we could watch and listen to the waves all day. It’s close to Grand Marais and Lutsen, so there’s a lot to do- if you ever feel like leaving this wonderful cabin. It rained for most of our trip but we loved just staying in and relaxing. We did have to park our car at the top of the steep driveway so we wouldn’t get stuck, but the walking path up the hill was easy and short.
