Perfect spot for my wife and I. We used the pools and hot tub during our 4 day stay. Went to Grand Marais, hiked every day, ate at Bluefin, rode the gondola, and even saw a bear! A great spot for a vacation like this. The room had everything we needed.

Sounds like an amazing North Shore getaway—and a bear sighting too! We’re so glad the condo was a perfect home base for your adventures. We’d love to welcome you back!
Great location, cute place, clean and cozy. Loved the phonograph and record collection. The pool and jacuzzi area just down the stairs was awesome, along with quick walk to Moguls for dinner and drinks.

Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cozy condo, record collection, and convenient location. We’d love to welcome you back!
We had a lovely time and will be back again. The place had everything we needed and so tidy/clean/well kept. The kitchen was so well stocked and hosts were responsive. Pool and hot tub were also operating during our stay and was perfect.
