Amazing!

This was absolutely perfect for me and my husband's mini moon! The location was gorgeous, we loved having fires on the beach and waking up to the view of Lake Superior. It's centralized so that we could walk everywhere within Grand Marais. We did hear some noise from the people staying upstairs, but it was minimal and did not impact the enjoyability of our stay whatsoever. Highly recommend staying here!

Great location and views

This is a wonderful place for a couple or single in downtown Grand Marais. It’s block or two from all the shopping in GM. The view is spectacular, looking out over the bay to the east of town. Highly recommended!

Great place

This place was so convenient to everything in town. Like bed the sunrises from our room!! The only thing was, it would have been nice to have coffee as there was the coffee pot, creamer, sweeteners & filters. We did get some very good coffee to brew from an establishment in town though. We will stay here again!

Right on the shore of Lake Superior

This is a very homey room. It was nice to sit on the lakeshore in the Adirondack chairs and have a glass of wine while watching the waves and gulls. Easy walk to several restaurants and Artist's Point. Great view!

We had a little hiccup in the reservation but the owner made it right. The place was just perfect for a couple of old friends on an adventure. So close to everything and yet quiet and serene. We will be back! 😀

Perfect place for a Grand Marais exploration

The place was small, cozy, and the thin walls of the old log structure are just fine if you have ear plugs or use a sound machine. Also, bring toiletries of your own since they only have standard soap. It's worth the location right on the Artists point peninsula and coast guard/lighthouse public park on one side with easy walking to shopping and food on the other.

Beautiful view!

Overall our visit was great! The location was PERFECT!! It's within walking distance of so many great places. Plus the view of the lake was beautiful!! We had a slight issue when we got there but the host fixed the situation in a very reasonable time and was very polite about it. The only complaint we have is that the bed is really uncomfortable, also there is an apartment above this space and the area above the bed squeaks loudly everytime the above tenants walk over it.

A totally magical experience!

My partner and I stayed two nights, and our only regret was that we didn’t take more time off. The room is very cute and rustic in the best possible ways. It has ample accommodations along with a woodsy lake charm. This property is literally right on the beach; we enjoyed a beach side fire both nights, and watched the sunrise on the beach with our coffee each morning. There is so much to do and see in Grand Marais and just up north to Grand Portage. We are already looking forward to coming back next year!

Beautiful Location

The description is very accurate. It has the basic amenities, but everything is well kept up. The private beach sitting area is such a nice little bonus. Plenty of towels, hand soap, and toilet paper were provided for our two night stay. Easily stocked enough for 6 or so days. Yes, you can hear people walking upstairs but nothing too disruptive and had no issues with that when turning in for the night around 8:30/9ish. The view and location is so worth it! This will definitely be our new spot whenever we visit Grand Marais, which we do at least once a year!

Ecxellent views!

Really enjoyed the location on the wayer and right in town. No shampoo, conditioner or lotion for guests. Right back window doesn't lock. Great coffe and amazing towels. Very noisy with guests upstairs. Could not get the wall heater to work but used the baseboard heater just fine. Overall a very nice stay.

Cute little queen bed cabin right on the beach with perfect access to downtown G.M. Comfy bed, large walk in shower, micro, coffee pot, small fridge, no TV tho. Adirondack chairs on the beach. 2 folding chairs for deck would have made it perfect.

We stay here every time we come to Grand Marais. It’s a perfect spot on the water and right in town so you can walk everywhere. A good place to head out on the paddleboard, have an evening fire, quick walk to shops and restaurants.

Grand Marais Beach Bungalow

It's a little rustic, but you can overlook those things pretty easily with the full view of the beach & water through a wall of windows. You have a relatively private beach area with two Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. The village is right out your front door. We would stay there again.

Great little getaway

This was the perfect little spot to stay for my Grand Marais solo-cation. The location and view can’t be beat! It’s definitely a bare-bones stay, but that’s all I really needed for this trip. I’d definitely stay here again!

Amazing Getaway!

We spend a weekend here for our anniversary weekend and would absolutely stay again! The location was perfect with a private beach and walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. We didn’t need to communicate with the host at all because everything was laid out for the check in/out process on VRBO and in the room. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was no shampoo, conditioner, or body wash in the room even though it was stated on the listing so we had to go out and buy our own. Loved that there were extra blankets for the chilly nights and would definitely book again!
