Top Grand Marais Hotel Reviews

The Shoreline Inn

8/10 Good

"Excellent , helpful staff. Great location right on the lake. We enjoyed it very much."

Saganaga Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful place to get away from it all! Located at the very end of the Gunflint Trail, Sag Lodge was the perfect spot for our family of five to unplug and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Northwoods. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the stargazing was incredible! We loved the feeling of being tucked away from everything. Our accommodations were clean, cozy, comfortable, and just the right size for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it was clear that the property was thoughtfully cared for and well maintained. There’s something really special about being at the end of the trail, surrounded by so much natural beauty and quiet. We’re already looking forward to coming back!"

Mökki: Dovetail Log Cabin in the Heart of Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool cozy place. I actually think the description of the property left off some nice details...unique beam construction, etc. Fabulous location with short walk anywhere in town. Great communication and a nice guest book with recommendations on hiking and places to dine out, etc. We would definetly stay here again next time!"

Pet-Friendly Studio on Croftville Road

10/10 Excellent

"The Studio was so cool! Cozy, but equipped with just what you need, and great little fireplace! We are so appreciative that pets are allowed! Really nice, it seems people have been considerate and respected the property and taken the proper steps to preserve it. It's really helpful of the host to provide the towels for dirty feet and sheets for furniture protection (we also brought some of our own). The setup with the shower room separate from the bathroom is so helpful and practical."

The Superior Bunkhouse, a Cozy 16 X 24 Cabin near Grand Marais MN and Hovland MN

We have stayed at this home before and it meets all our travel and relaxation needs. Fifty feet out the front door and you're looking at the lake!
