    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!

    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.

    Amazing location. Right across from our favorite restaurant in Grand Marais, The Angry Trout. It is a tiny space just as advertised so definitely want to be solo or with someone you are close with! But they’ve done a phenomenal job making the space cozy and comfortable. Host is very responsive. Had thoughtful amenities in the space. Would definitely stay 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!

    The location of this place is unmatched- right across from the water and a simple walk to absolutely everything in Grand Marais. The listing is accurate- it’s tight, but doable (for one or two people), and worth it for great host and lovely trip

    The location and the fact that we had a last-minute reservation available were wonderful. The host was more than gracious about everything. I would say that the unit was very dark for my taste, although my husband loved the man cave feel of it. It is a very shall we say intimate unit and large people would not be at all comfortable in the small access around the bed and the Very small shower toilet sink bathroom in about a. 5‘ x 5‘ square of real estate. This is a new unit for the owners and they were very open to suggestions about improvements. One other thing was having an equally comfortable functional and aesthetic lamp and table on the right side of the bed in addition to on the left. In all, I think he’s a wonderful choice because of its location and the wonderful TV with Netflix and YouTube, and a modern functional kitchen, and even a window although at ground level that looks straight at the lake.

    The garden apartment is just as advertised. Beautifully appointed. Cozy, best for a fit, slim person. Access to bed is somewhat difficult, but it is very comfortable. Linens, towels, and kitchen appointments are top quality. Some steps to tiny bath. Location superb.
