The bunkhouse was great! Looked exactly like the pictures, was very clean and comfortable, great lighting, and beautiful star gazing at night! My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay and would definitely come back.

We loved this bunkhouse! It was perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed being in the space. Everything went smoothly and was just as described. We plan to come back in the future when looking to stay in the area.

Great place to stay! Very happy with the bunkhouse and the amenities. The host was VERY communicative about the property and what to expect which was great for us. We would happily stay again. No running water (yet, they might in the future), but we knew that going in and it wasn’t an issue for us at all. Close to grand marais and the Canadian border.

It was a nice place. It was remote, but there is a property close by. Dish soap and towels would have made cleaning easier.

So sorry for the missing dish soap! Not sure if someone used it all or mistakenly took it. If you had let us know you could have retrieved one from main cabin. There are dish towels in drawers of the grey cabinet which is right there in the main room as well as in the blue tub under counter. If you had just popped me a text, which I encourage everyone to do at any time, we could have solved that one very quickly. I did not receive any message about this.

The cabin is very clean and well put together. It's in a great location between Grand Marais and Grand Portage, very secluded off the main highway, giving it an off the grid experience that I was looking for, the host was very communicative and responds very quickly if you have any questions, if you're looking for a good location with little/low light pollution to star gaze this is an amazing location to do so. Overall just a great experience for my wife and I.

The cabin was clean, sunny and bright with comfortable beds. Our host, Julie, was responsive and helpful with any questions we asked. She advised us well with getting to the cabin during daylight hours as the walk up to the cabin would have been difficult navigating for the first time at night through the woods. The cabin was about a 20 minute drive to Grand Marais, near great hiking trails and views of Lake Superior. We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the cabin!

We had four adults in our party. The bunkhouse felt very roomy, bright and cozy. We all slept comfortably. With the roll out mattress (all mattresses fitted with fresh, clean sheets) under the bunk bed and the cushions around the table, sleeping arrangement design was well thought out. The host communicated via Vrbo email and direct messaging, which made it very easy. Excellent communication along with all the detailed information a traveller could want/need - even a video link on how to operate the indoor portable toilet.The kitchen had a large, open counter space for prepping meals. Though there is not a stove, there were plenty of cooking options: a small propane grill outside, a hot plate, microwave, and convection oven/toaster. We appreciated the filtered water pump in the kitchen sink and the multiple jugs of water available. Not having to haul in water is a huge deal.It was more of a forrest experience than a lake experience. Though the bunkhouse is close to Lake Superior, it was hard to see the lake through the trees. There is a large cabin next door but we still felt we had a very secluded, peaceful experience. There is a small private deck in the back of the bunkhouse. I feel the bunkhouse experience could be enhanced with a larger front deck. I was told that it was in the works/plans.As someone who has done a fair amount of cabin rentals and camping on the North Shore, this is a GREAT value/bargain for all the conveniences and location! Recommend!

Nice cabin, but several issues to be aware ofThe cabin is pleasant and you can see the effort that went into it. However, a few basics were missing when we arrived in the late afternoon/evening after a few hours’ drive. The kitchen lacked essentials (e.g., dishwashing supplies), and the two 5-gallon water containers inside were essentially empty. Outside there were only two filled containers, plus a similar amount set aside for dishwashing/showering only. The host was responsive and, for the remaining days, directed us to pick up another container from their other cabin—but I still had to haul and refill water myself every day.We often tent-camp with kids and are comfortable with “basic,” but this amount of water felt below basic if you plan to cook even simple meals.Checkout instructions were also more demanding than typical. For example, guests are expected to remove ash from the electric toilet during their stay and at checkout—this isn’t standard in our experience. These expectations, along with the water situation, should be made clear at the time of booking.

So sorry for missing dish soap and limited drinking water supply. This was an unusual circumstance as the renters who left prior to your visit had used far more water than anyone in the past. With all our previous renters, we found they used no more than one 5 gallon container per day and most less for drinking/cooking. In the future we will need to inform people further that water is not without limit but that we allow for one 5 gallon container per day for drinking/cooking. The large white tank is for wash water. I don't know that you used it. My apologizes for the missing dish soap. The dish soap did disappear - it was at the sink prior to your arrival but it may have been overlooked if someone used it up the last day or mistakenly took it. We fixed that by you taking one from the other cabin. I was not made aware of any other dish washing essentials that were not there. As for the incinerating toilet, my close down instructions to you were that you did not have to do anything with the ash cauldron as you were there only 3 days nor has anyone else over the summer for that duration so I don't understand you complaining when you had to do nothing? For a longer stay, then it would need to be emptied which simply means unhooking the lower front panel, clicking the latch to pull pan out and dumping in covered pail outside then returning it to its place. It is an incinerating toilet which means everything is burned to an ash so one cannot let it overflow or it can burn out the coil, disabling the toilet. Its no different than emptying an ash tray or fire pit ash. It is totally burnt and clean to handle the cauldron when cool. It beats trying to clean up a water based toilet or using an "outhouse" by a very long way as it stays very clean.

Cabin clean and cozy. Had the basics in the kitchen. Host had clear instructions. There is another property near by and a little walk from where the car is parked to the cabin.
