What a special place! An absolutely beautiful location, right on the incredible shores of Superior, that with it's remote location make it the perfect vacation getaway. The property owner provides everything you could need to have an excellent time, plus, a few things we didn't expect. Overall, our favorite vacation hands down!

Captain's Cottage

My mom and I had a wonderful time at this cottage on Lake Superior. I was happy I could bring my dog with us as well. We all enjoyed walking the beach and rock hunting. It was located near our favorite bakery which was a bonus. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I hope to come back again!

Just What We Were Looking For!

We wanted to leave the heat of central Iowa, the stress of our jobs, and just relax for a week, and that is what we did at Captain's Cottage. The accommodations provided were as advertised and quite comfortable. And the views from the deck were spectacular. Long walks along the beach, the fresh breeze blowing in off of Lake Superior, punctuated by the occasional discovery of a Yooper rock, made it difficult to say goodbye to this UP oasis. Thanks for making our stay possible and very enjoyable.

Winter Snowmobile Trip

Review applies to winter time only (summer time rental would likely not have these issues) -- location is great (close to snowmobile trails and great snow quantity). Access to garage is good for snowmobile storage at night - but not heated. Had a few issues during the stay -- walkway to house was not shoveled when we arrived, had to clear a path to get into the house. Driveway and parking area is ok for vehicles only, but trailers over 26ft will struggle to park and turn around. TV needs to be updated - missing quite a few apps and couldn't watch sports after a long day on the trails. Internet isn't terrible, but had a few buffering issues when trying to stream TV on a iPad. Super cold temps (10F to -5F) showed limits of baseboard heating and drafts from windows, had to have a fire going every night to keep temperature up. Communication with host was good, but couldn't do much to improve items above -- fixes/upgrades would need to be addressed before another renter comes in.

Little slice of heaven!

We came up as a family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 kids ages 9months-7years) and fit great. The cabin is super cozy and had everything we needed. We had a fire in the fireplace (& on the beach) every single day! The view is unbeatable and, while you have a couple of neighbors, you have the beach to yourself! It is soooooo secluded and amazing. The kids had a blast collecting rocks and sticks. We made a little campsite on the beach and hung out next to the fire all day. Heaven. We went to pictured rocks one day which was 1.5 hours away. The nearest towns (Newberry and Grand Marais) are 30 minutes away. So we just grocery shopped and ate all of our meals in the cabin. One thing I will say is that the listing says it’s 2 bedroom which probably means 1 bedroom (with a door) and 1 loft. I misunderstood it as 2 bedrooms AND a loft, not so! However there were plenty of beds for our group to sleep! Elyse was so communicative and helpful with any questions we had! 100% would recommend and stay again. We are all talking about next summer already!

Not happy

There was no washer/dryer as advertised, the main bed was extremely uncomfortable - so much so, we only stayed 2 nights. The stairs down to the beach were not completed and the gas grill was empty of propane. The lack of washer and dryer was very disappointing, as we packed lightly, but the main problem was the bed in the main bedroom. The owner said it was new, but the quality is obviously lacking. For the price we paid for a week, a comfortable bed is a small ask to us. Very disappointing! There are many trip hazards in the cabin with throw rugs on a wood floor with no rug grippers. We had to pick them all up to avoid a fall. My husband fell and cut his arm at the deck side door where there is a poorly marked step up. Elderly people should be very aware of the hazards.
