We loved our stay … our granddaughters were thrilled with the under stairs hideaway…The bed were amazing!The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. A short drive into Grand Marais to explore. We can’t wait to stay here again !
Such a great place to get away from it all for a week! The location was absolutely beautiful and the cabin had all the amenities you would want. The check-in process was simple due to excellent communication with the owners. Only about five minutes from downtown Grand Marais but was still nestled away in the woods. We will definitely be back!
We loved the home, the location was spectacular, I love that pets are welcome, & that the home is geared towards family. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We look forward to a future stay!
Beautiful house.Worked perfect for quick family trip with 2 kids and Grandma. Great accommodations with comfortable beds and cold a/c in the rooms. Video games kept kids and dad occupied. Short drive from downtown Grand Marais.Outside was a little overgrown leaving the space feeling not as appealing.
Very nice, clean, and bright vacation spot. Enjoyed the wooded secluded location. We made good use of the kitchen. Great location, close to XC ski spots and Grand Marais. We were snowed in (couldn't get back up the driveway) for a bit due to the heavy snow.
Our group had ages ranging from 70 to 7 and we all had an amazing time on this property! It was in a very convenient location with easy access to both Grand Marais and Lusten. If you decided to hunker down and spend your entire stay in this cabin it's incredibly comfortable, welcoming, and has beautiful scenery right outside your windows. We cannot wait to come back to this area soon!
Such a comfortable, clean, beautiful property! We felt right at home immediately and the check in process was flawless. The little touches, such as USB charging outlets by the beds, really make the experience even better. Highly recommend!
A lovely remote property with cozy furnishings and all the amenities just like at home! A very clean and well-furnished home with 3 large bedrooms.
