Guestbook comments from the manager
Twelve women from church thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home. We thought it was especially thoughtful of you to have a large dining room table that seats 12 and was perfect for our group. We enjoyed 2 days of hiking, lots of laughter, sunshine, game playing and wisdom swapping. We are GLOW(God Loving Outdoor Women)

Great Stay, as always
A group of guys have been meeting up for "mancation" for the last 11 years--we've now spent 3 of them at this house because it is simply a great place to stay. Foosball and Air Hockey are nice additions to this already great place.
Great family vacation spot.
My children and grandchildren loveed staying in this very nice, well appointed home in the woods. Huge kitchen and eating area made meals easy and fun to prepare. Large playroom on the lower level kept the grandchildren busy for hours. Although we missed being on the lake, the babbling brook by the fire pit make water noises as we sat by the campfire.
wonderful!
We had our family reunion here. It a was wonderful place, enjoyed it very much. Of course the kids loved the basement rec room. and the upstairs was comfy and easy for my older parents .. kitchen was well stocked with every thing you need for cooking . it was very clean . very quite location but close to Lutsen and Grand Marais . The care taker checked in on us to see if need anything, he was very nice. the owners were very accommodating we called head and we were able to check in a little early.
Beautiful well appointed house
Beautiful house with comfortable beds, and plenty of lounging space.
Great to have fire pit AND wood. Great
kitchem space but only 4 teaspoons (which seemed odd ) and cooktop that we never were able to use. Burners were just that; couldn't find one that would fry a pancake. Either no heat or burned in 5 seconds no matter what we tried. Bathrooms could use more towel racks and many of the lower level towels were prettt ratty.
Overall it was a wonderful place for
an extended family of 11 ranging in ages from 2-99! We like to cook and the only that might keep us from coming back is the poorly functioning cooktop. (We have stayed in many vrbo houses and have dealt with these kind of cooktops many times but this is the first time we have been defeated by one ).
Amazing multi family retreat!
Couldn't have asked for a nicer gathering place for our family get together. The Grand Retreat was beautifully decorated and the finishes were amazing with granite countertops to the flat screen tv's. We'll be back!
Amazing!
We had an amazing time up at the Grand Retreat! It was fantastic... beautiful views... you can even see a peek of Lake Superior from the deck! Tons of things in the cabin to keep you busy and the fire pit was well used... we even had to contact the care taker to bring us more wood... he had that dropped of within the next couple of hours. The direct TV was nice... we could still watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs at night!! All in all... its a very nice place to bring a big group. The owner allowed us to bring 14 people... and their was plenty of room for all of us... the couch up stairs is so comfy and their is a little river in the back yard that can entertain you for awhile, to see how far you can make it down hopping on rocks till you fall in. GREAT PLACE! the owner was very easy to work with and had everything we needed! Love that he keeps a packet with all the trails there! Hope the next people have an awesome adventure like we did!
