We spent a wonderful week in Grand Marais, and this cabin was one of the biggest highlights. It was warm and inviting, uniquely decorated and provided everything one could need. Walking distance to downtown and a stones throw from Java Moose.

Cool space, parking restriction odd bouncing from one side of street to the other in such an untraveled area.

Very cute and quirky get away. Loved how close we were to town, did a lot of walking. The description in Vrbo was very accurate of the property but was perfect for what we needed. Would stay here again.

Excellent, cozy, relaxing space. Weather was nasty out so stayed holed up most of the 2 days and it was heaven!

I have been renting cabins in Grand Marais as a week-long writing retreat once a year for more than a decade. This is the first time I've spent my week in the Birdhouse. It was a lovely, quirky little space they pretty much had everything I needed to write all day and finish my novel. The bed was amazingly comfortable!! (SIX STARS!) The bathtub was lovely & relaxing. I was worried about the space having an adequate writing desk area, but it was very nice & the stool was comfortable. I wrote 10-12 hours a day and my back did not hurt AT ALL. The natural light in the cabin was lovely as well & well thought out. It made for an airy, pleasant space. Loved the balcony too. One complaint was the kitchen was not as well supplied as I would have liked. The lack of a microwave did not seem like a big deal, but it was missed. The small, little French press was not enough when writing all day. (This is specific to me as I was in the cabin all day & do love coffee while writing. But a full size French press would be a welcome addition!) The fridge was the perfect size. I wish there would have been a toaster. Maybe just knowing up front that there is no microwave or toaster would be good to know. (Maybe it was & I forgot) The only other complaint about the cabin itself was the lack of a shade on the kitchen side window facing to the balcony. Why was there not a shade there but was everywhere else? Maybe no one could see in but it was uncomfortable to use the bathtub in the middle of the cabin when that one window was completely open. The only other thing was something that was unavoidable and not the fault of the property owner, but the construction on Hwy 61 was awful. The view was obstructed, the noise was sleep-disturbing and it ruined a lot of the tranquility that the cabin affords. I think I was also there the week the construction was directly in front of the cabin's location. Bad timing on my part. Thank you for a lovely stay. The most important thing is I finished my novel & without the Birdhouse I would not have. I do hope the construction finishes soon.

Wonderful home away from home! Beat little cabin to stay in grand marais! We stayed here for our honeymoon and will definitely be coming back!
