Perfect MEA Getaway
This place was truly exceptional. The cabin was a perfect size for us— it had everything we needed. You can tell everything was carefully thought of. It was amazing being able to lay in bed and just look out the windows at the end of the bed. It is such a unique, little cabin. Cleanest outhouse I’ve ever used! We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you to Stevie and Juani for sharing a little piece of heaven with us.

Cute, cozy cabin stay
Our stay at this cozy cabin was awesome! We truly enjoyed our time up close to the north shore. The colors were just starting to come out! The sauna was an extra bonus after a day of hiking! The communication between the owner was great as well. Very responsive.

Secluded getaway
Absolutely fantastic property! Close enough to Grand Marais for a day trip in but secluded in the woods enough to feel “off the grid.” The sauna was great with a refreshing rain water rinse, the bonfires were wonderful as we were serenaded by wolves howling. Highly recommend Devil’s Kettle Falls for a great hike!

Remote location. You will not hear traffic but at sundown the neighbors sled dogs say good night for about 25 minutes.

Cabin Retreat
The cabin is smaller, but offers plenty of space for a couple travelling to the area! It was clean and well-stocked. The views of the forest surrounding the cabin are beautiful, and the stars were amazing on a clear night. Hearing wolves in the distance from the comfort of the cabin was exciting. The sauna was great to use after a day of hiking and exploring downtown Grand Marais. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy beautiful setting!
Wieso much enjoyed the beautiful fall colors of the trees. The home itself is equipped with everything we needed, and so well laid out that the size did not matter. The outhouse is cute and nicely decorated. Absolutely perfect for a three night stay to hike around the area. We will definitely return.

Hiking trip
This is a cozy little cabin furnished with everything you need even if you didn’t know you needed it. Quiet setting in the woods with a sauna and fire pit made it a perfect getaway. Very conveniently located close to superior hiking trail.
