Croftville Road Cottages #3. On the Shore of Lake Superior. Cozy and Romantic.

Located 80 feet from Lake Superior’s beach, Cottage #3 provides the gentle sound of breaking waves hitting the shore. There is a spectacular open vista of Superior through the aspen, balsam fir, and birch. Only walking paths, natural vegetation, and rocks separate you from the water. A stairway provides easy access to the 540ft of rocky beach. In front of Cottage #3 is a fire circle with comfortable seating and a charcoal grill. The front bedroom features a queen bed, a romantic gas stove, and a lakeside patio door. The living room has a decorative gas stove and a picture window looking out upon the lake. It is furnished with a plush futon, 2 wingback chairs, a smart TV with access to the internet (no broadcast TV), a DVD player, and a dinette set. The rear of the cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a bedroom with a full-size bed. This four-season cottage is open all year, decorated with a loons and ducks theme, and has wireless internet access. An artesian well provides excellent water for drinking. Cottage #3 sleeps up to 6 people (2 on the futon) with all linens provided.

Winter Getaway
I totally enjoyed my winter getaway. Loved seeing the sunrise come into the bedroom. The location was great, within close proximity to everything I needed. I loved the snow and found a great trail for snowshoe hiking up off Gunflint Trail. The cottage was perfect. Loved the gas stove heaters. The bed was comfortable and the bath towels were very soft. Accommodations were great.

Lovely quaint cottage
Not a bad word to describe our experience. We had a party of two and we love the North Shore of Lake Superior. It was easy breezy to reserve, checkin, check out, etc. Cottage #3 had everything and more in every room. Framed notes throughout included directions or answers to every question about how the place operates (like gas fire place, what light switches do what, where the recycling goes, where to hang lawn furniture cushions, etc). Every detail was well thought out and the owners clearly know what they are doing to create pleasurable stays. There is an up-north, mid-west, lake life vibe throughout. We enjoyed bon fires right on the lake shore, star gazing, rock hopping, and exploring the outside property. We could have comfortably invited 4 more guests, as it’s plenty spacious. We will book again.

Quick but incredible
My friend and I celebrated 11 years of my kidney donation to him with a trip along the north shore. We only stayed for one night, but would book it again for several nights! Everything was so clean, neat, & comfortable. Sleeping with the windows open I enjoyed falling asleep to the crashing waves, while my friend slept in the back bedroom to peace and quiet. The place is a hidden gem and would go back again and again!! It was everything I had hoped for and more!

Time to Get-Away
Property was just as pictured and advertised, perfect for my elderly mother and me to use as our home base for enjoying Grand Marais and the Gunflint Trail. We relaxed, read, played cards, marveled at Lake Superior, and didn’t even miss the fact there as no broadcast or cable TV!

We enjoyed our stay. The cabins are very clean and appointed nicely, in a very peaceful setting on Croftville Road right on the lake. We enjoyed several hikes and snowshoeing on area trails.

Magical
I rented over Christmas for a winter getaway. The location, the property, and the accommodations were all magnificent! The cozy cottage was clean, with a decent sized kitchen and a good bathroom. The gas stoves were wonderful for the winter experience. I especially loved you could go straight out the back patio and there were little trails to get you to the lake. The views of the lake and night stars were stunning. The host thought of every detail, including a pet basket with goodies to welcome my dog!

Great stay.
Very cute and cozy. Clean and comfortable. Loved the fire ring and all the chairs outside. It was perfect. The only thing they could use is a few coffee mugs. Cups were too small. Also it would be nice to have a muffin tin. The staff was great. We can't wait to go back.

Great getaway
Most relaxing mini vacation I've ever had. My husband and I wanted to do some exploring of the area and I found this perfect little gem to book for the weekend. My son and daughter in law were able to join us, the cabin is clean and well kept, location to town is perfect, quiet, peaceful and everything you need for to relax and enjoy the great north shore. We will definitely be going back

Fabulous mini vacation!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wish it could have been longer. It's a great location with awesome views of the lake. Cottage was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. Great water pressure in the shower!! Would highly recommend these cottages to everyone looking for that true North Shore experience.
