Perfect Grand Marais stay!
Really loved our stay at Croftville. So close and convenient for downtown Grand Marais, but also so lovely to be right on the lake with the fresh breezes and hearing the waves lapping on the shore at night. Our unit (#8) was so comfortable and had million-dollar views of the lake. The unit was equipped with everything we needed and slept 4 comfortably with the sofa bed in the living area. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathroom was very spacious and comfortable. Communication at every step was very easy and efficient. Will definitely be our first choice for future stays in Grand Marais!

Lovely long weekend
Great location. Terrific views and lovely to have a fireplace and big bathtub for relaxing after a day of snowshoeing. Also loved having a full kitchen so we could get our meals with no fuss.

Clean, well-stocked, gorgeous stay right outside Grand Marais
Croftville Cottages #8 absolutely exceeded our expectations. The unit was comfortable, clean, modern, and well-stocked with everything we needed. Being located right on the shore of Superior provided some amazing views, and we thoroughly enjoyed the cozy vibe and wood-burning fireplace in the evenings. The barely 6-minute drive to Grand Marais made it easy to head into town and access nearby trails. I would absolutely go back, and I highly recommend for anyone looking to get away to the North Shore.

Amazing cottage!
This was my first VRBO rental, and cottage #8 was as beautiful as advertised. Teresa and Mike accommodated our very late check-in, and the unit was gorgeous, with beautiful views of the water and every amenity you could imagine. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Had better views than most other resorts I drove past on my way up the Shore. I will be returning here. Great place!!!
