Check in and check out couldn't be more easy. Will stay again.
Beautiful lodging with an amazing view!! The amenities are wonderful!!
A beautiful location with wonderful amenities. Highlights are the spa tub and wood burning fireplace. Views of the lake can't be beat!
Super clean and homey! Awesome jacuzzi. Easily one of the coziest, sweetest, most beautiful little home for a few days. The view is amazing, make sure you watch the sunrise! :) and it’s just a short drive to Grand Marais cute little downtown.
Beautiful room and setting. Excellent owner
We enjoyed our stay in #5. It was very clean. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed well stocked. The location is phenomenal with great views and multiple places to sit outside on property. Check in and out was super simple. The major negative for us was privacy. We enjoyed our jacuzzi tub, but the window on one side was another guest balcony. Same with the window by our bathroom. We thought visiting in the winter when the windows wouldn’t be open and/or people less likely to sit outside would be nice. The other negative was the shower head, if you adjusted the temp before getting in it would spray out the door. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises.
We fell asleep every night to the sound of Lake Superior waves (some crashing, others lapping). The short drive from Grand Marais and that walkability of Croftsville Rd. are a big plus. We did most of our own cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, including having friends for dinner one evening. The bedroom with the spa was delightful after hiking. The living/dining room has a wonderful view of the lake. Heated floors and gas (bedroom) and wood (living room) fireplaces keep it very cozy. The staircase requires some thoughtful maneuvering and we wouldn't recommend this suite for someone with disabilities or difficulty with stairs. Our hosts clearly put a lot of thought and artistic savvy into the design and are good administrators as well as very friendly. They live on-site. We signed up already for a return rental next summer.
This would be a 5-star rave review - beautiful setting and almost new, wonderfully appointed apartment - but for their use of perfumed soaps, detergents, and fabric softener that permeated the air both indoors and outdoors. If you are sensitive to perfumes this would, very unfortunately, not be the place for you.
Croftville Cottages was the perfect choice for our special get-away! Incredible views, cozy accommodations, and a romantic atmosphere. Can’t wait to stay here again!
