Home slept 4 adults comfortably. Be advised that one of the beds and bathrooms are in the basement: comfortable and spacious but best used by those who move easily on stairs. Loved the proximity to the shore, restaurants and shops

Good location. Upstairs is lovely and cozy. Some basic maintenance needed: the toilet does not flush properly, light over sink needed, basement shower needs improvement. Musty smell downstairs.

Best location in Grand Marais
The location and overall quality of this space more than made up for not having A/C. We were able to comfortably have 8 people in this house (4 adults, 4 kiddos) without feeling like we were in each other’s space. And, again, location, location, location!

Great Location
The location is great—walkable to everything in town—and it’s surprisingly quiet. The main floor is also great, with a lot of chairs and tables and deck space. The basement was a bit gloomy; it’d be perfect if you had a large party you wanted all together, and maybe all the kids could stay down there, but none of my friends or I wanted to. We instead used the front porch for one of the bedrooms, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable, though the front door didn’t lock. The only other thing we’d change was cleanliness; there was an old hairbrush on the floor when we checked in, hair ties on the floor in another room, and cobwebs on the inside of most windows.

Great location, not a great house
Great location with very close vicinity to all of grand marais. Everything was a short walk away and the view was nice. The house was not great. I am especially not impressed given the price of this rental. Our bed was uncomfortable and the frame was very noisy. The deck and general exterior of the home is in need of a refresh, it looks like it has not been maintained for a long time. There were spider webs everywhere, bird poop and dust on the glass, chipping paint, and the deck is in need of staining. The basement is very musty and the basement bathroom and bedroom were not appealing.

Beautiful cabin with lovely views of the harbor
I was here for funeral services for my partner. A couple of friends came with me and we chose this cabin as it was both beautiful and close to the places we needed to be. I really enjoyed how large it was the ceilings are so high, the kitchen was very nice all the bedrooms were clean and well put together. We didn't use the fireplace but having the seating area around it inside was just lovely. As well as the deck, we did not grill anything but there was the opportunity to do so on a very nice girl. I very much like the enclosed front porch with a comfortable couches that could alternate as beds. I feel like you could probably put 12 people in this place along with the finished basement with a full bed and two couches. I did feel like it was too big for us but I know in the advertisement it says you could put about 10 people there and that is accurate. The only reason I didn't give overall five stars is because of the hot water situation. I don't know if it was just that time or if that's a current thing there but I took the first shower of the trip and after about 10 minutes the water ran cold. So my friends waited till the next day to try their hand at it with similar results. We were okay since they weren't only three of us. But I think it would be difficult if you brought 10 to 12 people up there and your shower went cold after the first person didn't even take a full shower. Other than that it's secluded, with lovely views all around. I would stay again.

Enjoyable family time
House has lots of great spaces to spread out. We easily had room for 6 of us to eat together and play board games. Incredibly convenient for walking to anything in Grand Marais - we barely used our car. Kitchen was supplied with everything we could need.The basement was set up well for a teenager to have their own space.

"Stone Throw" Lake Cabin
Truth in advertising. :) Lake Superior is just outside its front door and coupled with the fact that you can walk to just about everything one does on a vacation -- shopping, eateries, breweries and the famous Lake Superior beaches. The Gunflint trail is just outside of town for a leisurely drive or exploring the backwoods on a guided fishing trip. Like to gamble? It's just 34 miles away in Grand Portage. You name it and it can be done. We had a great stay and will definitely plan a trip to come back soon. Thanks -- Kevin and Lori.

Good location, clean. Well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the fireplace. View was not "panoramic " as blocked a bit by one large tree. Also the furniture and mattresses were quite worn and in need of replacement. Still had a great time.

Incredible home for a fun weekend in Grand Marais!
We experienced a great weekend at Stone’s Throw at the end of June. The home was comfy and inviting, and spectacular views of the lighthouse and Lake Superior could be seen from the main level of the house. And what great timing for the lilacs to be in full bloom for us to enjoy the back patio that looked out upon the lake! We had everything that we needed from both a kitchen and bedroom standpoint, though much time was spent either walking around town or hiking/canoeing in the BWCA. If schedules line up, we would love to return here next year for another weekend up north!

We loved Stonesthrow cottage. Everything was neat and clean. Had. Everything needed for our stay. Bedrooms were great, even the basement was a nice area to sleep. It was close for our family to walk to whatever we chose to do. Would definitely stay there again
