This is a charming place with a great kitchen and baths. The bedrooms are nice with great linens and cozy decor. There is a true cottage feel to the place. We loved the view of Lake Superior and the location was perfect. We walked to shops and restaurants. We also enoyed the walking path across the street.

The view was amazing. The place was warm and cozy with a fireplace. It was perfect for our intended weekend. Unfortunately, there was a water issue in the bathroom that upset the weekend as water poured nonstop until water was shut off making the stay end abruptly. We had to move houses with a half a load of laundry in the works! Luckily the local manager helped usmove into a brand new rental & location. However, it just wasn’t the same as the intended weekend so close to town.It was also negative double digits and was really disruptive. We are awaiting a reasonable refund from the property owner as the manager did all they could and more! We sure loved the local manager who was so accommodating!!

Cute House (upstairs) and a great location! Close to all shops and has a pretty view of the harbor. This is not the place to stay if the weather is warm/hot. There were a couple of fans but one ceiling fan was broken. The room and bathroom downstairs is pretty old. Other than that it was a good stay.

Best location in Grand Marais

The location and overall quality of this space more than made up for not having A/C. We were able to comfortably have 8 people in this house (4 adults, 4 kiddos) without feeling like we were in each other’s space. And, again, location, location, location!

Great stay

The location was amazing! Very convenient with having a toddler that needed to nap, could easily walk anywhere into town and back. Didn't need to get in the car at all! The bed we slept in wasn't the most comfortable but other than that everything else was perfect! Highly recommend and we will be back!

Part of family reunion

We loved Stonesthrow cottage. Everything was neat and clean. Had. Everything needed for our stay. Bedrooms were great, even the basement was a nice area to sleep. It was close for our family to walk to whatever we chose to do. Would definitely stay there again
