Story-book Cabin in the Woods above Lake Superior, near Grand Marais. -New Sauna

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely little cabin! My expectations for this rental were blown away with how cute, clean, and cozy the cabin is! The cabin itself is a little rustic but has solar lights that can be used at night and has the composting outhouse available. The property itself is really secluded in the woods but as I walked along the open trails I did see quite a few ruffed grouse! If you want a nice little rustic retreat that is a great location for visiting most of the north shore state parks, I recommend staying here! Grand Marias is only about 9 minutes away and is a great little town to visit and shop as well. All-in-all my stay was 10 out of 10! I look forward to booking this same property for future visits!"
