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.

Superb accommodations

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.

Quaint studio right in the middle of town. Great place to stay for 1 or 2 people to enjoy Grand Marais and all the outdoor activities. The host was very friendly and accommodating.
