About this property

The Bear's Den At Sweet Dreams Overlook

Welcome to The Bear's Den! A cozy and comfortable one-room suite complete with the sights and sounds of Lake Superior. Additional information, reservations, and units are available for VRBO viewers on our website SWEETDREAMSOVERLOOK. It's conveniently located just minutes away from the incredible small & culture-filled town of Grand Marais, MN, the Superior Hiking Trail, along with biking and ski trails. In addition, it is only about 30 minutes away from Lutsen Ski Resort and Superior National Golf Course. There is shopping, dining, live music/arts ...all along the shore of Lake Superior!  A variety of events are scheduled throughout the year in and around Grand Marais. Enjoy free high-speed internet, a smart TV (but no cable), a mini-fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils, coffee, and coffee maker along with a large private bathroom (complete with a revitalizing soaking/jetted tub and separate shower). This lovely suite was recently updated and remodeled and you'll certainly enjoy its charm, cleanliness, and convenience to amenities the North Shore and Grand Marais have to offer. It is similar in style to a studio apartment as it is located in the lower level of a single-family home and has a private entrance. The upper level is occupied by the owner who is on hand for any questions or requests. There is no direct lake access. E-bikes are available to rent this summer!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct 2026
We were surprised to receive your list of Cons: The listing shows a microwave and apartment refrigerator, it does not say there is a kitchen; Dish soap and other supplies are always located in the bathroom cabinet near the sink; 2 types of pillows are supplied but most travelers with specific needs generally carry their own pillow. We are addressing the 'deep clean' comment with our cleaners.

We thought the room was not cleaned very well. At the head of the bed there was so much lint and dust my allergies were raging. Dead flies in the window, the bath tub had thick ring of dirt after draining. We thought there would be a grill on the deck near our place so cooking would be easy and was out front of the home

We would like to address your concerns. As it states in the room instructions, please contact manager if there are any issues right away. We always want to address any problems that can be corrected immediately to improve your stay. The tub has residue after running the jets if products are used in it. The grill is available on the concrete pad for fire safety reasons rather than on the wooden deck and near the wood sided house. It must be put inside at night to discourage attention from bears and raccoons. We actually discussed this out front. The cleaners have been informed of shortcomings and have corrected procedures.

We really loved our stay - it was the perfect spot as was so close to Grand Marais but private and secluded. The king size bed and the whirlpool tub were added bonuses and both were perfect after a full day of hiking and biking. Tina was awesome to work with and we definitely will be looking to stay here again!
