The North Shore Fisherman's Cabin- historic

The 'North Shore Fisherman's Cabin' is a modern, restored historic commercial fisherman's home built of logs around 1900. You are right in the heart of town within a block of everything- yet comfortably removed when you need a breather. We are less than 100 yards from the water. There are 3 well appointed bedrooms, 2 full baths, a huge dining room with a long Viking table, a roomy pine living room with gas woodstove fireplace, a front cedar porch, and a natural slate patio. Attention Air BnB guests: if you pay the dog fee through Air BnB it only covers one dog, you will be responsible to contact the cabin owner to pay for any 2nd dog. The original log home with its well appointed kitchen and huge dining room is the core of the structure. The logs for the Cabin were hand hewn over a century ago and show the broad ax marks from the original fisherman builders. The kitchen is thoroughly modern with new appliances, solid maple counter tops, and a two level snack bar. The property was completely renovated down to its bones from 2003 to 2007 using recycled or repurposed materials wherever possible and is now a highly energy efficient home. The walls are adorned with local art and mementos of the great age of commercial fishing and logging here in Grand Marias. Many of our guests ache for a connection with the past (with high thread count sheets), reconnection with each other, and permission to come to a full stop for deep rest and we believe the North Shore Fisherman's Cabin accomplishes that. The view of the old harbor from the living room and the deck is stunning. There is also a view of the inner garden from the 3rd bedroom deck. Seagulls and fog greet you when you rise. The grounds of the property are planted with a variety of native and boreal flowering plants, flowering shrubs and fruit trees. It is a garden like setting with various perennial, annual, and produce plantings. In winter the waxwings invade the ash trees, in spring fiercly dueling ruby throated hummingbirds compete for the high energy of the sugar feeders. Please, no parties or large gatherings with non guests. We love dogs. Dogs are allowed at this property with acceptance of our dog rules and payment of the fee of $75 per dog up to two dogs. Our cleaners work very hard to remove all evidence of dogs after their departure and that takes a lot of their time and is hard on their bodies, so please understand our need for the fee per dog of $75. The base rate for the cabin includes 6 people. It is $30 per additional person and must be stated in advance while making your reservation. Sauna is available on a first come first served basis for a fee and is private- message owner to verify availability prior to completing your reservation. Additional days can be purchased.
Please give us a call if you have any questions. There is a sauna available on a first come first serve basis for $49 a night. That is booked through our direct site or you can contact us for more info.

Thank you!

Todd and Susan Miller

PS: We are implementing an incentive for you to choose trip insurance. We have discounted our rates on our direct website here by an additional 7% (the total savings between our direct site and say... AirBnB is now 14-21% only if you book on this direct site). We are doing this so that you may select trip insurance during your booking process. It will be offered to you while you are completing your booking and they charge 7%. We do not make any money on that. In this time of Covid-19 cancellations have been so rampant as conditions improve and decline as to jeopardize our ability to remain in business. The cancellation policy we have had for 10 years is as follows:

You may cancel within 48 hours after booking for any reason. After that you can cancel with a 10% penalty up until 60 days prior to your arrival. After that you may cancel but your deposits can not be refunded.

If you have trip insurance you can be reimbursed according to which policy you chose. And we are subsidizing it for you by having reduced our rental rates well below any other rates where our properties can be found. It's up to you, pocket the savings and run the risk of cancellation, or still get some savings and have the peace of mind of having some of your investment in your vacation protected in case of unforeseen events. Here is a link to the insurance company, otherwise it is all presented to you when you book so that you can make an informed decision at that time: https://cdn.orez.io/sc/content/docs/RentalGuardian%20-%20Overview.pdf?v=0116da11ea74cfb3b939b87f3a2c5dc676da5f83

Charming!
This property combines the quaintness of a rural cabin with the convenience of being in town! The interior was immaculate with all of the necessities for a great three day stay. A coffee shop and numerous restaurants were within 5 -10 minutes walking distance. We look forward to staying there again!

Perfect Location in Grand Marais
Right in Grand Marais and a short walk to the main stretch of restaurants. Perfect for three couples. We stayed here for a ski weekend at Lutsen Mountains and were very happy with this VRBO and its location. It's a very cozy place and was the perfect choice for us.

Cozy, charming cabin in fantastic location
Our family (mom, dad, 15-year old) stayed at the Fisherman's Cabin over Labor Day with our two pups. We loved it. It is in the perfect location, just minutes from all that Grand Marais has to offer. It was cozy yet big enough for us all, and we were able to bring our furry friends along. We'd love to come back.

Delightful site for our birthday party!!
This was a lovely modernized it was a rustic feel place that was perfect for hosting various family members for my twin brother and my 70th birthdays. We were close to town and very close to the beach. The hosts were delightful. The kitchen was modernized and the huge oak table in the great room allowed us to serve 6 to 8 people easily and then clean up and play games! We loved it! Thank you to Todd snd Susan for hosting our stay!!
