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.

Nice house. Can't imagine 6 sharing the space, but for 2 of us it was good.
Very nice and quiet neighborhood, great place to rest and unwind. Close enough for day trips to surrounding places!

The house was nice enough but a little small for my clan. We did enjoy it however. We’re just used to more space.

Snowmobile getaway
Long weekend with my nephews, brother and my 2 boys. The cabin was found to be very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was great to work with and I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away. Thanks for sharing your place. We will rent from you again.
