Comfortable Cottage Close to Town

This was a great location for our snowmobile trip to the Grand Marais area. Close proximity to town where you can snowmobile or drive to restaurants and bars. Cottage had all the necessary amenities for our stay in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows, sheets and comforters.

Great location for 4 season fun!

Cute and clean this place had everything we needed for our small snowmobile group. Close to town and trails. Had parking for 1 truck and trailer and all of our sleds. Easy access to the house and Brett was great host and very responsive. I would definitely stay here again when in Grand Maris.

What a great location

Beach, 1/4 mile down the road with gas station & restaurants in between. Friendly, small town. Host was excellent. Awesome communication. House was just what perfect for the 2 of us. (even tho it would have more) Neighbors were quiet. Just have no complaints. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
