A great little gem

We (four females in our 50s) stayed at the Cozy Pine for a three-day weekend. We hit the jackpot with 80-degree weather two days and a blustery 45 the final one, so pack accordingly. The beds were comfortable and the dual control electric blankets were a nice touch, everything was immaculately clean and well stocked, the shower was hot with good pressure, and there were games available, a nice firepit to enjoy and even though this is a walkout basement apartment, the owners were quiet but available for any questions or concerns. We had a brief power outage and Dick was careful to explain his concern to turn the generator on as it required access to our room. We appreciated his concern for our privacy. We loved our stay and would gladly come back again! Many thanks to Dick and Joan for being wonderful hosts.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Cozy Pine. My favorite part was how quiet it was. Just down the hill is Lake Superior and the town is about a 2 minute drive or a really good walk. The accommodations were clean and welcoming and I loved being able to sit on the patio in the morning. Would recommend!

Great Property

Everything was just as described. We had a great time. There are so many things to see and do around the area, we were barely at the property. Though, when we were, it had all the comforts of home. The hosts answered messages promptly and made everything hassle free.

Long Weekend to enjoy the Fall Colors

Husband & I frequently visit Grand Marais at least 4x a yr, mainly during snowmobiling season, but at least 1x during the fall. This was our 1st time staying here, very nice place, convenient to the trails as we rented a orv to ride the trails. Would stay again!

Home away from home

This was a fantastic place to stay. If you are looking for a quiet, convenient, comfortable and clean VRBO this is the place you want to be. We rented for four nights and liked it so much we added another night! When summing up our adventure, we ALL said we would go back to the Cozy Pine:-) Thanks for such a great vacation!

Great Getaway

Great little getaway spot. Short drive to Grand Marais which has a couple good spots to eat, easy drive to more northern spots in Pictured Rocks park, and roughly an hour from Munising where the cruises leave from. House very clean, beds comfy, spacious layout.

Summer UP Trip

Not wanting to camp, we were looking for a place close to Pictured Rocks where we could spend a few days while exploring the park. The property is incredibly close to the east end of the park. The town of Grand Marais also has a beach where we spent one afternoon. We spent most of our days out and about, getting very lucky with the weather. The property was clean and exactly as described in the listing. For us it served its purpose as a home base for exploring the area.

This was a great property and everything our family of 4 needed for a great vacation. I would recommend having your codes with you before you get to the property as there is not good internet in the area.
