The Inn was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway! Exactly as pictured; clean, safe, quiet area with great outdoor area for camp fires and beautiful lake view. The sounds of Lake Superior all day and night was very relaxing. We look forward to staying here again.

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in several decades of travel. The accommodations are very nicely done and of course the 'big lake' is the star of the show. This is a great place!

Super clean and homey! Awesome jacuzzi. Easily one of the coziest, sweetest, most beautiful little home for a few days. The view is amazing, make sure you watch the sunrise! :) and it’s just a short drive to Grand Marais cute little downtown.

Great location and clean
We enjoyed our stay in #5. It was very clean. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed well stocked. The location is phenomenal with great views and multiple places to sit outside on property. Check in and out was super simple. The major negative for us was privacy. We enjoyed our jacuzzi tub, but the window on one side was another guest balcony. Same with the window by our bathroom. We thought visiting in the winter when the windows wouldn’t be open and/or people less likely to sit outside would be nice. The other negative was the shower head, if you adjusted the temp before getting in it would spray out the door. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Our Happy Place
We fell asleep every night to the sound of Lake Superior waves (some crashing, others lapping). The short drive from Grand Marais and that walkability of Croftsville Rd. are a big plus. We did most of our own cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, including having friends for dinner one evening. The bedroom with the spa was delightful after hiking. The living/dining room has a wonderful view of the lake. Heated floors and gas (bedroom) and wood (living room) fireplaces keep it very cozy. The staircase requires some thoughtful maneuvering and we wouldn't recommend this suite for someone with disabilities or difficulty with stairs. Our hosts clearly put a lot of thought and artistic savvy into the design and are good administrators as well as very friendly. They live on-site. We signed up already for a return rental next summer.

Fantastic location. Great accommodations. Perfumed laundry detergent and fabric softener.
This would be a 5-star rave review - beautiful setting and almost new, wonderfully appointed apartment - but for their use of perfumed soaps, detergents, and fabric softener that permeated the air both indoors and outdoors. If you are sensitive to perfumes this would, very unfortunately, not be the place for you.

Very nice indeed. Certainly worthy of all the positive reviews here. The photos are an accurate representation. Very clean. A recommendation if you stay here, open up all the windows and enjoy the sound therapy that the waves provide, it's surprisingly effective.

Fantastic spot!
We booked this trip on a whim and were absolutely delighted with how it turned out! The lodging was far better than we anticipated. The space was cozy, yet had enough room for whatever we needed. We loved the view, fireplace, and hot tub. The owners were beyond gracious and extremely helpful to us. We will absolutely return and have recommended the Inn at Croftville Road Cottages to our friends and family already. THANKS for a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful, fantastic property and view, only one flaw
What a beautiful property - well-equipped, great kitchen, amazing comfortable bed, breathtaking views... everything so perfect and we absolutely loved the place. But there is one flaw - it seems like it would be a peaceful retreat, but it is definitely not a quiet place (and I am partially hearing impaired.) The unit is a part of the main house, and the owners live right through the wall and can be heard clearly. As people who don’t watch tv, it was strange to search for white noise on YouTube just to try to mask all of the conversations and tv shows next to us. We could even hear the laundry through the wall... it’s an LG- it makes the same sounds as ours at home. Truly, it is the only flaw... so if quiet isn’t a priority for you, or you’re used to having the tv on or music playing, the place is absolutely perfect.
