I totally enjoyed my winter getaway. Loved seeing the sunrise come into the bedroom. The location was great, within close proximity to everything I needed. I loved the snow and found a great trail for snowshoe hiking up off Gunflint Trail. The cottage was perfect. Loved the gas stove heaters. The bed was comfortable and the bath towels were very soft. Accommodations were great.
Updated and lovely cottage that is well equipped. The owners put thought into the decor and the items provided on the kitchen and bathroom. Great views of Lake Superior and winte hiking. We are looking forward to our next visit
Not a bad word to describe our experience. We had a party of two and we love the North Shore of Lake Superior. It was easy breezy to reserve, checkin, check out, etc. Cottage #3 had everything and more in every room. Framed notes throughout included directions or answers to every question about how the place operates (like gas fire place, what light switches do what, where the recycling goes, where to hang lawn furniture cushions, etc). Every detail was well thought out and the owners clearly know what they are doing to create pleasurable stays. There is an up-north, mid-west, lake life vibe throughout. We enjoyed bon fires right on the lake shore, star gazing, rock hopping, and exploring the outside property. We could have comfortably invited 4 more guests, as it’s plenty spacious. We will book again.
Super cozy beds were wonderful after several nights in a tent. We hope to return for a longer stay next time!
Cabin was perfect for four. Cozy to sit by the fire and watch the waves after skiing all day.
My friend and I celebrated 11 years of my kidney donation to him with a trip along the north shore. We only stayed for one night, but would book it again for several nights! Everything was so clean, neat, & comfortable. Sleeping with the windows open I enjoyed falling asleep to the crashing waves, while my friend slept in the back bedroom to peace and quiet. The place is a hidden gem and would go back again and again!! It was everything I had hoped for and more!
The property was all that we expected. We had a wonderful time there. We would love to go back there again!
Property was just as pictured and advertised, perfect for my elderly mother and me to use as our home base for enjoying Grand Marais and the Gunflint Trail. We relaxed, read, played cards, marveled at Lake Superior, and didn’t even miss the fact there as no broadcast or cable TV!
We have been here before. It's a lovely place with great views of the lake. Highly recommend.
Loved this little cabin on the lake. Clean and cosy with every detail thought of. Thank you
