Roomy, clean, bed was extremely comfortable! I know it doesn’t look like much from the front yard, but the inside was charming and met my needs very well. Very close to everywhere I needed to go.

It was a cute place

After we killed a few pincher bugs and a moth all was good. Mattresses in smaller rooms could be a bit more comfy. But a cute place and served its purpose for our girls weekend get away.

Cute place & outstanding location!

This rental was VERY clean, and the 70’s decor was fun, cheery & brought back such fond memories for us! Owners kindly supplied more than everything we could think of. Beds were super comfy with ultra soft bedding. We loved that the beach was literally a block away, as we are avid rockhounds! The close proximity to town was also very convenient. So happy we could bring our beloved little dog. Highly recommend, and will definitely stay again!

Nice clean place

We had a very relaxing time in Grand Marais. I was traveling with my husband, sister and 2 dogs. The mobile home was just as described. Check in was easy. We were even able to check in a little early. Our host was very quick to respond to questions. The mobile home was clean and well stocked. It had a nice size yard for our dogs and was conveniently located. I would definitely stay there again!

Definitely the place to stay

It was everything as described and more. The texting, arrival, accommodations, comfort were all very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this location, especially if you are traveling with your fur baby. The kitchen was better stocked than my own with accessories and appliances. The a/c worked well, the noise was extremely minimal on the street corner. Thank you Walk and Christine for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

I've stayed here before and once again it was clean and well stocked. You just have to bring your clothes and everything else is provided. It is within walking distance of agate beach. It is a clean and comfortable environment.
