I guess that's just the rustic element but that really put a damper on the trip from day one. The cabins are charming and clean but why is the heat vent in the floor where stuff can roll into it and you can burn bare feet on it. They were generous in supplying wood for the fireplace though. The boat rentals are quite pricey and there's not good fishing here. We had NO BITES in 2 days and trolled all over and threw everything at it. Having no restaurant is very sad. And the Covid restrictions were ridiculous. We were almost shouting across 12 or more feet with masks from the doorway in to the reception desk. They halted the fire ring near the reception lodge with no fire rings near cabins at the beach. And any other activities and didn't even give out the individual explorer nature journal packets. So no way to enjoy a cold night outdoors on the lake with a fire. You had to strip your room linens and towels into all separate bags before you left, open all windows and turn the fan on. Maybe they could have turned the heat on before we arrived then. The highlight of our trip was going back to grand Marais for a day honestly. I will say that the staff is very responsive to your emails and keeps you updated. I loved that. But in this day and age, if you don't let people into the main lodge, you need to have WiFi in each cabin. Especially since there's no cell service there. Yeah sure that sounds charming. But try booking a restaurant or a fishing trip or confirming reservations with no cell or WiFi. There were months of Covid and this could have been done by September. Also this was one of the very few times in our traveling that our hotel/lodge/ BNB did not email you and solicit your thoughts on your stay in any way. Speaks volumes. So here I am on Yelp. Volunteering it. Overall? Decent. But not worth the price.

Beautiful scenery off the dock. Our kids loved utilizing the paddle boards that are for all guests to use. A few downfalls included us having to chase down mice in our cabin. I do understand being in a cabin in the woods you do take on that risk but every evening we were setting more mouse traps or emptying mouse traps and trying to keep it all a secret to our kids. They would have freaked! And if you're a non-mouse girl like me it was quite frightening! If I heard one under our bed at night I couldn't sleep.The shower curtain did have mold on it, I feel like the bed linens could definitely be upgraded. The blanket on our bed had rather large holes in it. For the price of one night I feel like a few small minor upgrades would've made the stay much more enjoyable and the cabin more inviting. The kitchen was stocked for the most part. We took all of our own groceries, spices, etc. With all that said, our kids did have an absolute blast and we made lots of family memories!

Our stay the the Chateau Leveaux was just ok. We rented via Airbnb and the host were great, no…read morecomplains there but the space felt a bit crammed. They had A LOT of stuff in that condo, which for an Airbnb unit seemed like too much and we didn't really have a good spot to put our luggage. The fireplace and view are incredible. We visited during the off-season, which was ideal. I'd imagine peak season might feel a bit too busy for us, especially since the lake view is from a shared backyard/patio space. I loved how this unit allows dogs but if you are traveling with a pet, keep in mind the layout is hotel-style. If your dog is sensitive to hallway noises or neighbors above and beside you, they might be prone to barking. Unfortunately, we found a bag of trash behind the door upon check-in that smelled like tobacco. We had to leave the windows open to air the place out, which was a bummer since it was freezing outside.

It's a small unit, big enough for just two people. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal and plenty of kitchen ware. Electric stove and microwave are very well kept, nothing you would be afraid of cooking in. The living room was nicely situated to the fireplace and T.V. (Satellite, DVD player included). The bathroom was beautifully decorated. One downside was the drainage on the tub/shower, doesn't drain too quick. I love the location of this unit(north edge of the building) you can hear the crashing of the waves against the rocks, it reminded me of the ocean. However, the one downside of this location is it is on the lower level and next to an entrance, so it can be a bit noisy from other tenants. We reserved through Air-B-N-B and the owner was very pleasant to work with. Thank you so much for your condo and we look forward to future stays.

The accommodations were very comfortable and well-priced, and we enjoyed sitting on the mostly-private beach each evening by the fire pit. The location is right on the water and close to Grand Mariais many quaint shops and restaurants, as well as convenient to many points of interest on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I wish we could spend every night falling asleep to the sound of the waves and star-gazing. The only negatives I found were relatively minor things. 1. While there is a small refrigerator in the unit, there is no microwave or stove, so plan on eating out every meal. It would have been very nice to have, perhaps, a grill out on the beach for burgers or steaks. There are plenty of places to eat, but it would have been nice to be able to stay in on an evening and provide for ourselves, or at least have a bag of microwave popcorn to enjoy by the fire. 2. The "Private" beach is not completely private, as it is right between two very close businesses with their own beach areas, and folks walking down the beach would continue across the property. Not that big a deal to me, but if you are expecting a sense of real privacy while sitting lakeside, this isn't it. 3. The person present at check-out was a bit on the rude side. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, especially if they added the couple of amenities I mentioned.

The views of Lake Superior are exactly what you come to the North Shore for, and with their expansive waterfront you are able to really take in the views & experience staying on the lake - no matter which building or unit you're in. The common spaces offer a large pool (deepest end is 4'), a large hot tub, sauna, gym, laundry, and sometimes group fitness that varied on the weekly schedule (COVID safe). When you check-in be sure to visit with guest services regarding the events they have scheduled for the week & what you can take in for free. They'll also be able to assist with bike rentals, etc. Be sure to let them know what you're interested in because they're more than willing to help. Also, don't skip the free s'mores packs for the nightly campfires! Guest services hours are very accommodating. The A unit we stayed in on our recent trip was impeccably clean, and even though it was a "pet friendly" unit you wouldn't be the wiser. The cleaning staff does a great job. The linens were all good quality - including great quality towels! The views are outstanding from both the first and second floors, and the unit furnishings allow for comfortable lounging to take it all in. We did some cooking while at Surfside and the kitchen was fully outfitted with all standard cooking utensils, pots, pans, dish ware, and drink ware. They provide dish soap, kitchen towels, and dishwasher tabs so cleanup is a breeze. The beds were super comfortable, too! The whole unit is quite spacious and would be comfortable with 6 adults, and if you combined it with a B unit you could be comfortable with 8 adults. The living spaces are outfit with great, comfortable furniture, but in the colder months I recommend bringing a throw blanket or two so it can be even more cozy! We really love Surfside and their attention to the guest experience. It's a quaint, peaceful resort stay that offers some nice perks: nightly bonfires that were never crowded, a playground for kiddos, an ice skating rink in the winter months, and so much more. We'll certainly be back!

No beach nor real access to the water but if you are in the area I would not hesitate to stay here. We had six very comfortable in a three bedroom. Great space to hang out in.

To say they are pet-friendly would be an understatement. On arrival, it was like walking into a kennel - dogs barking from all directions, some off leashes. This went on the enire first day and night. As a dog lover, I was still annoyed, especially when the 430am rounds kicked in. We had the fan running, a noise machine & still got little sleep. The 2nd day was like being in a different campground... far more as expected. Yes, there were still dogs barking once in a while, but it wasn't nonstop and there weren't any roamers. We slept well the rest of our stay with one other downside. The position of the sewer hose connection - it had no threads and was sunken in too far, actually beliw the ground. This prevented us from having a secure connection - meaning we would get odor. We greatly enjoyed the privacy trees, night skies & convenient location. We still feel the pros outweigh the cons, friendly staff & the price is reasonable. We will stay again & will look at getting an adapter to help with the sewer issue... cuz ewww
