We had a very nice time in the UP. Our cabin/house was perfect. I could not have asked for a more equip cabin/house. Close to the water and not far from other attractions. We had a Great time and would love to do it again. I think I would add an Orchard house guests book to write about the time we had. A great way to share experences with others.

Super clean, no bugs like other reviews. The windows in the back were amazing!!! Highly recommend!

The facilities were all very good.

What a great property! Reminded us of the cottages we spent summers at as kids. Everything we needed for our stay and 5 minutes to the village and beach, and easy access to all kinds of adventures within an hours’ drive. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

There were lots of different bugs inside the cabin. There were several light/lamps that had no bulbs.

We had a comfortable stay here. Close to town. Well stocked. No curtains kinda freaked us out a bit and stove burners weren’t all working but overall fine. Owner very helpful and responsive. Saw a bear just down the road which was cool yet Scary.

Fun little house with a lot of little unique aspects. Very close to town. Would stay again

Property is beautiful and location was perfect for us. We had deer and bears in the yard which was great other than they get into the trash. House had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. House was very clean and unique. We love rustic places and this fit well, but if you don’t you may not be happy. We will be returning. The host was also very accommodating so thank you.

What an excellent stay. This cute and cozy cabin in the woods was exactly what we wanted. Celebrating our 20th anniversary in this cabin was a dream come true. We loved the privacy coupled with the convenience of being so close to town. The place was very clean and well supplied with soft towels and plenty of soft seating. Being in the country there were a few country buzzers but it is “in the country”. I want to thank the host for great communication and providing us with exactly what was described in the listing. We would absolutely return. There is room enough for a family yet cozy enough for just the two of us.

We loved being just around the corner from Grand Marais while feeling like we were out in the middle of nowhere all by ourselves! Wonderful home with small complaint that we could hear a mouse and see mouse poop one day. Otherwise the house was perfect for our needs and recommended it immediately to some family members.

The location was just what we were looking for; perfect for rock hunting on Lake Superior. House was roomy enough for the 4 of us. The full size bunk beds were nice. We got to see a porcupine out the window one morning, which was really cool. Also saw some deer another morning. We did have some issues with wasps, of which we had about 4 to 6 inside the house every day. This was tough for my 7 year old daughter whom is deathly afraid of them. The bed in master bed is in desperate need of replacement. We really struggled to sleep at night. There was some decent rain while we were there, which caused a pretty bad leak over the kitchen. Overall, there was good and bad. As long as your expectation is a cabin with a few issues, you shouldn’t be disappointed.

The cabin is nice inside and is remodeled with a modern look. It is not detail cleaned as would be expected for a rental property in this category. Our first night the 'gales of November came early' in September, knocking out power to 28 homes in the county. The owner was responsive the next morning to ensure crews were working on it. Still no power for CPAPs, water, cooking, or lights in a strange environment for hours. As mentioned in a previous review there are steps into the front door landing and master bedroom then again onto the main living level. Other negatives mentioned are still true; the master bath wall by the sink is grossly splatted with toothpaste residue and burners on the stove do not work. Topping our list of issues were the dishes not completely washed, rusted shelves in the refrigerator, and mice having the run of the house. There are what appear to be ultrasonic deterrents but they are absolutely no good with mice running right past. We bought traps and caught three mice in two days. House rules require hauling the garbage container to the street abnormal for this rate and even after a significant cleaning fee the house cleaner is asking for a tip for a job well done, NOT.

The property was as described

Close enough to Grand Marais to be convenient, but far enough out to be nice and quiet.

Wonderful experience, the property was beautiful. Close to dunes and Superior.

Worked well for three senior couples needing a place to stay during the Grand Marais Music & Arts Festival. A private location within walking distance to the village.

Excellent location to so many adventures. Good amenities. Wished had advertised steps inside the house (had a handicapped person) but back door easy entrance. Hot but weather was unseasonably hot (90 and humid). Could use vacuum clean at ceiling/wall and toothpaste clean up at one sink. Still 90% cleaner and trusted clean than a hotel. I would definitely stay again.

Everything was great. The only way it would of been better was for the property to have a toaster and more cooking pans in the kitchen and a BBQ grill to use outside, then it would have made it even better.

We had a great stay at the house. Location was good to visit a lot of different places.

This is a unique cabin close to town. It seemed to be a one room cabin at one time and then added on. It was in a quiet setting. curtains on the main bathroom would have been appreciated.

This place was amazing! Full disclosure, I saw only one cockroach (amazing, considering we were in the middle of the woods), the roof leaked a little by the chimney (which I'm sure will be fixed now that they are aware), and the stove was marginal at best. For some reason, we could only get one burner to work. I also thought there might be a grill there, but it was not. On the other hand, it was incredibly clean and sanitized, and was the best stocked air B&B I have ever seen! Everything we needed was there, and then some! It was a little unsettling using the bathroom with a full window and no curtains, but it was in the back, facing the woods, so the view was amazing! The locking code made it super easy to come and go without having to worry about a key. It could get hot ( there is no A/C ) but then freezing at night. They did provide fans, though, as well. The fire pit was pretty cool, and they were very well stocked with wood! I would highly recommend this place! It's only a 20 minute walk into town, it's very private and incredibly well maintained.
