The Garden Studio was perfect for a cozy weekend getaway! Although the footprint isn’t large, the apartment is laid out very efficiently so nothing felt cramped. The kitchen in particular felt quite spacious. Being located right off 61 across the lake was very convenient. Would love to come again!

The host was welcoming and everything was clean and very cute. The couch was difficult to sit in but the multiple pillows helped. The bathroom is truly too small for anyone larger than a medium size.

Amazing location. Right across from our favorite restaurant in Grand Marais, The Angry Trout. It is a tiny space just as advertised so definitely want to be solo or with someone you are close with! But they’ve done a phenomenal job making the space cozy and comfortable. Host is very responsive. Had thoughtful amenities in the space. Would definitely stay again!
