About this property

Pet-Friendly Studio on Croftville Road


BIPOC Welcome!

Our very spacious lodging was originally built as an artists studio. We kept the open concept with amazing sky lights and lighting in the kitchen and shower room. Windows in the front of the studio face Lake Superior. Sleeping space is separated from dining and living space. In addition, the shower room is separated from the toilet room to accommodate better usage of facilities. Deck on the Lake is available to guests.

Recently added is an electric fireplace for that comfy feeling after a long day hiking or other outside activities.

I am pet friendly. Pets must be kenneled if left alone at all. You must provide your own kennel. Please relieve your dogs often to avoid accidents on my carpets. I charge $100 for damage fee for any and all urine accidents.

We have a kitchen with stove and oven. We also have provided a Keurig coffee maker, a hot water pot, an electric fry pan, microwave, instant pot, and refrigerator.

WiFi is available but no tv service.

My daughters, two cats and I enjoyed our stay! Super close drive to Grand Marais and lovely, quiet road to walk on and see the lake. Place is very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed reading, playing games and actually were phone free for 4 days! Lynn was very responsive and check in/out was seamless. I’d definitely stay there again.

We are repeat visitors of the Croftville Studio, since we love it so much. The location is ideal and Lynn truly cares about her visitors, checking in and making sure we have what we need. Our pup also loves it and we appreciate those small touches like dog dishes and covers for the furniture. We will be back!

The Studio was an ideal venue for our first trip to the North Shore. Clean and spacious accommodation in a quiet area on the shore of Lake Superior, yet close enough to Grand Marais for a daily, 3-minute morning trip to Java Moose downtown before starting our exploration of the area. Lynn was a great host, very responsive to any questions we had. Having great internet access and no TV were both great perks. We'll be back!

Winter Getaway

My husband & I needed a reprieve, so we went North for some relaxation time with our pups. This location had so much space, was right across from the water, close to town, and best yet, was super dog-friendly! We will definitely be back & I'd recommend this listing to future travelers :)

Studio Stay

The Studio was the perfect place for us to spend a 3 night get-away. We spent most of our time hiking, but our time spent at the Studio provided everything we needed, especially the wonderful, easy access to the lake. The quiet, beautiful, naturally landscaped neighborhood was relaxing, yet all the conveniences of town were just minutes away. Would definitely recommend staying at The Studio.

What a beautiful studio! The location was perfect, including a beautiful deck right on the shore shore of Lake Superior, with only 4 steps down to the beach!Everything that you could ever need was available in the studio! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and exudes "Minnesota Nice!"I highly recommend and definitely will return!!!

The Studio was exactly as advertised and absolutely perfect for 2 adults, and our dog. Check-in was a breeze and Lynn was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Having the toilet separate from the shower is a great idea. Everything was cozy and clean. We could walk across the street and down a few steps to a wonderful rocky beach to hunt for agates, or just listen to the majestic waves crashing onto the shore. The moon reflecting on the lake was an added bonus. We would definitely stay again.

It has most anything you’d need for your stay on the north shore. It’s really easy to find/quick drive from town. Plenty of space for 2 plus our medium sized dog.

This was a cute open concept space. It was nice to be right across the street from the beach and be able to access a private beach. We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable including the trundle bed. I enjoyed how accommodating it was to bring a dog.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Arbogast

Host profile image
The Studio is Family-Owned and we enjoy Grand Marais year-round. We have owned our home for 14 years and have converted what was originally an Artist's Studio into a short-term rental space. We love sharing our beautiful place on the North Shore.

Why they chose this property

Our property is located on a very quiet road. It is popular among locals and visitors as being the walkers road

What makes this property unique

Doesn’t get any prettier that Grand Marais. If you’re lucky the aurora is active. However, Grand Marais is one of the few dark spots left in US. The sky at night is amazing. If you are here during a full moon and with our skylights, you’ll think someone left the lights on outside. The lake can be very active and amazing as well. Our local photographers have captured some gorgeous sights.
