Stay on Lake Superior in Grand Marais

We had a wonderful time. The location was beautiful. Everything is high-quality and tastefully done. The location is great! Grand Marais is a beautiful town. We hiked Pincushion Mountain and went a few other state parks to check out the many waterfalls (stunning). We did lots of hiking and enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!!!

Cozy lakeside vacation spot

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was lovely, the view to the lake was great, the in floor heat was nice, the jacuzzi tub was perfect after a day out x-country skiing, and the wood burning fireplace was exactly what was ordered for cold winter nights. Exactly what we had hoped to have for our week away.

Wonderful property about 2 miles outside Grand Marais. Nice space. Well appointed. Located directly on Lake Superior. The main building has multiple units. Not very sound proof.

Excellent Accommodations

I think it was below zero most of our two night stay, but with the in floor heat, fireplace (with dry wood and fire starters!) and nice hot shower, we were so comfortable! Nothing like having a glass of wine by the fire and looking out at Lake Superior which is literally in your backyard. We will definitely be back.

Great getaway

We were looking for a chance to get up to the North Shore and get away from the craziness of the pandemic, and this was perfect! We were able to get our keys without contact and the space was very clean and well-kept. We loved the fireplace and being able to have a fire going while we were watching movies or streaming the shows we were behind on. The full kitchen was great and allowed us to cook our own meals. The view of Lake Superior was stunning and was great to wake up to. Highly recommended!

Excellent working-vacation in a great place!

Change of scenery amidst COVID-19; had a few days away to work and enjoy a beautiful place. Crisp mornings and perfect fall afternoons. Weather was beautiful when twin cities weather was cold and rainy. Cozy place with windows cracked to hear waves on shoreline just outside the door while a fire warms us. Croftville mile and a half road provides a popular walk that shows cute cottage after cottage. Fall colors and flowers abound.

Celebrating the new year

We lucked out when we found the Inn had rooms when we decided to go north at the last minute. This was our first time staying here and we are glad that we were able to stay at this suite. We enjoyed using all of the amenities including the full kitchen, the fireplace, and spa tub. The waves lulled us to sleep each night. Thank you! Sherri and Dan

About the host

Hosted by Teresa and Mike Chmelik

Host profile image
Teresa and Mike Chmelik are the owners and operators of Croftville Road Cottages. They live in the owners quarters of their inn. In an era when most mom and pop resorts along Lake Superior are being closed, Teresa and Mike have built Croftville Road Cottages from a former resort property that had been unoccupied for 10 years. At the same time they have raised their children along Lake Superior in a small town setting and kept outside employment to support themselves while building their business. 2018 marks the first year that Croftville Road Cottages has finally fully supported them. They have done as much of the renovations, repairs, and construction as they can themselves. When that has not sufficed, Teresa and Mike have relied on the help of family, friends, and skilled local craftsmen.

Why they chose this property

Teresa and Mike long dreamed of having a resort on Lake Superior. Grand Marais had always been a special place for them. For Teresa, her parents had met as students at the Grand Marais Art Colony in the early 1950's. For Mike, Grand Marais had always been the gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The Chmeliks with the help of their good friends purchased their dream property in July 2003. It was a former resort property unoccupied for 10 years. That summer and fall was spent making the house habitable while living in a borrowed camper trailer until Halloween. The next 3 years were used to clean up the property and extensively renovate the cottages. Croftville Road Cottages opened for business in 2007. In 2011 the Chmeliks decided to reconstruct the house into the main inn for the resort providing living quarters, an office, and 5 vacation suites. In June they bought a travel trailer to live in and serve as an office during the expansion. With a variance granted, the Chmeliks secured financing in June 2013 after the deconstruction and demolition of the old house had already begun. Construction for the inn began in August. The Chmeliks moved into the partially completed inn in October 2016. The first 2 vacation suites in the inn opened in June 2017 and remaining 3 in July 2018.

What makes this property unique

We offer an experience reminiscent of days past when small mom and pop resorts were found all along the North Shore. However, our cozy cottages and luxurious suites are among the finest vacation rentals along Lake Superior. The inviting and romantic cottages and suites are impeccably clean and meticulously maintained. Nestled on 540ft of rocky shoreline, we are conveniently located just 3 miles from downtown Grand Marais on the lakeside of scenic Croftville Road known as the "walking road".
