If you're looking for a glamping type experience, this is a great place to stay! We found the cabin to be very clean and comfortable. The location is great, it's only a few minutes into Grand Marais, and it's very convenient for the boundary waters. The host is friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Secluded property in close proximity to Grand Marais. Bring head lamps or extra battery powered lights, as there is zero electricity on the property. Great views of the night sky, and beautiful fall colors

The property was exactly what we wanted. Tucked away, rustic, and quiet. There was cell reception, in case future bookers care about that. The propane stove works great, and the property is really well kept.

Lovely quiet and rustic stay. Would update amenities to not list “electric kettle” as there is no electricity.

Thai was the perfect get away spot! Close enough to Grand Marais to be accessible but far enough to feel like you are one with up north. It was perfect for myself, my husband, and my mother-in-law to have our space, but still be together. Will definitely be staying again!
