The space is compact, but worked quite well for my husband and I. Great location across from the water and walking distance to town. Perfect for taking a class at the North House across the street. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed being so close to downtown, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants, as well as the harbor. The house was cozy and welcoming with plenty of room for our winter gear.
The Garden Studio was perfect for a cozy weekend getaway! Although the footprint isn’t large, the apartment is laid out very efficiently so nothing felt cramped. The kitchen in particular felt quite spacious. Being located right off 61 across the lake was very convenient. Would love to come again!
This was a great place to stay!! My son and I stayed here and it was close to places to eat and harbor was right there. The owners are very friendly, I had car trouble and they were more the helpful. I would stay here again!!
Great location! Walking distance to the restaurants and shops that Grand Marais has to offer! Clean and comfortable unit and hosts are very responsive.
Beautiful studio so close to everything you want to do and see in Grand Marais! Great experience! We appreciated how clean the place was and the very good coffee!
Perfect place to stay in Grand Marais.The space is expertly set up for two people, with a full kitchen and comfy bed.Easy walks to food, shopping, and the harbor.Quick drives to natures wonders, all within an hour, maybe 90 minutes if ya go to the end of the Gunflint or Arrowwood trails.Will stay again next visit....
The host was welcoming and everything was clean and very cute. The couch was difficult to sit in but the multiple pillows helped. The bathroom is truly too small for anyone larger than a medium size.
Our impression of this property was great. Everything was brand new and had what we needed. It is in close walking distance to bars, restaurants and the bay. The communication with the host was top notch. We will definitely be staying here again!
This listing was perfect for us! We were so close to the lake, shopping and restaurants. We were supplied with outdoor space with Adirondack chairs that faced the lake. Perfect spot to celebrate my birthday, MaryKate was so friendly and responded quickly to our questions. Hope to stay again!
We had a three night stay in the studio and were really impressed by the layout, comfort and super amenities with everything one needed. Fantastic location right in the heart of Grand Marais. Highly recommend and will come again!
