Pet-Friendly Studio on Croftville Road


BIPOC Welcome!

Our very spacious lodging was originally built as an artists studio. We kept the open concept with amazing sky lights and lighting in the kitchen and shower room. Windows in the front of the studio face Lake Superior. Sleeping space is separated from dining and living space. In addition, the shower room is separated from the toilet room to accommodate better usage of facilities. Deck on the Lake is available to guests.

Recently added is an electric fireplace for that comfy feeling after a long day hiking or other outside activities.

I am pet friendly. Pets must be kenneled if left alone at all. You must provide your own kennel. Please relieve your dogs often to avoid accidents on my carpets. I charge $100 for damage fee for any and all urine accidents.

We have a kitchen with stove and oven. We also have provided a Keurig coffee maker, a hot water pot, an electric fry pan, microwave, instant pot, and refrigerator.

WiFi is available but no tv service.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

We were a family of 5 including 2 teens and the studio had all we needed and more. It was well stocked, perfectly located, and made for a wonderful home away from home.

The Studio was exactly as advertised and absolutely perfect for 2 adults, and our dog. Check-in was a breeze and Lynn was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Having the toilet separate from the shower is a great idea. Everything was cozy and clean. We could walk across the street and down a few steps to a wonderful rocky beach to hunt for agates, or just listen to the majestic waves crashing onto the shore. The moon reflecting on the lake was an added bonus. We would definitely stay again.

The Studio was an ideal venue for our first trip to the North Shore. Clean and spacious accommodation in a quiet area on the shore of Lake Superior, yet close enough to Grand Marais for a daily, 3-minute morning trip to Java Moose downtown before starting our exploration of the area. Lynn was a great host, very responsive to any questions we had. Having great internet access and no TV were both great perks. We'll be back!

I can't imagine a more pet friendly place with a nicer location than the Studio on Croftville Rd!It was absolutely perfect for me and my pups! I appreciated the little touches like towels to wipe their feet and covers for the furniture to keep their hair off. The view is incredible and we loved the dock and the beach! We liked the grassy area across the road. Where the boys could stretch their legs and play a bit. I used the queen bed, which was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the view of the lake from the sofa and the dining room table.Thank you Lynn! Teresa, Zeke & Jackson

We are repeat visitors of the Croftville Studio, since we love it so much. The location is ideal and Lynn truly cares about her visitors, checking in and making sure we have what we need. Our pup also loves it and we appreciate those small touches like dog dishes and covers for the furniture. We will be back!

The location was perfect, including a beautiful deck right on the shore shore of Lake Superior, with only 4 steps down to the beach!Everything that you could ever need was available in the studio!

Studio Stay

The Studio was the perfect place for us to spend a 3 night get-away. We spent most of our time hiking, but our time spent at the Studio provided everything we needed, especially the wonderful, easy access to the lake. The quiet, beautiful, naturally landscaped neighborhood was relaxing, yet all the conveniences of town were just minutes away. Would definitely recommend staying at The Studio.

My husband & I needed a reprieve, so we went North for some relaxation time with our pups. This location had so much space, was right across from the water, close to town, and best yet, was super dog-friendly! We will definitely be back & I'd recommend this listing to future travelers :)

Making memories at the Studio

Friends of 40+ years made more memories together at this cute little studio! Accommodations were comfortable for the 3 of us plus 1 furry friend. Everything we needed was right there; a well finished kitchenette, a cozy fireplace, a nice view of the lake, and great access to the lake in a very quiet neighborhood. Lynn is a fabulous host and was very accommodating to making us feel welcome in her Studio.

Simple and comfortable

I stayed with my 2 Soft Coated wheaten terriers. Close to town and trails. Road is quiet and lake is visible from property. Rental is clean and comfortable. There is no air conditioning available, so the summer may get warm, The nighttime temperatures were in their 50s, so it was perfect when I stayed.

Relaxing weekend on the North Shore

The loft is very well equipped and in a great location. It's easy to access from Grand Marais and served as the perfect base camp to take in all the area had to offer. The loft is roomy, comfortable, and quiet. The only sounds were of the waves on the rocks. We Look forward to returning.
