Nice clean place

We had a very relaxing time in Grand Marais. I was traveling with my husband, sister and 2 dogs. The mobile home was just as described. Check in was easy. We were even able to check in a little early. Our host was very quick to respond to questions. The mobile home was clean and well stocked. It had a nice size yard for our dogs and was conveniently located. I would definitely stay there again!

Great location

Within walking distance of the little town shops and beach(less than half a mile). Plenty of space for the 4 adults, 2 kids. The full kitchen was nice and had more than enough dishes and utensils. They had a few condiments in the fridge and fixings for coffee as well. If I would have known how expensive and limited the local grocery store was I would have done a more thorough shopping trip before arriving. The unit has AC units in the living room, dining/kitchen area, and the main bedroom. It took about a day to get the whole place at a comfortable temperature. Overall, we had a wonderful time and the owers were very easy to communicate with!

It was a cute place

After we killed a few pincher bugs and a moth all was good. Mattresses in smaller rooms could be a bit more comfy. But a cute place and served its purpose for our girls weekend get away.

Family Time

We have been coming to Grand Marais since 1979 and always stay at Woodland Park. We chose this due to location but it sure didn’t disappoint! Super cute home with ALL the extras! And we got to include my grand dog so that was an extra bonus!

We were definitely wowed! Our stay was happy and comfortable. The mobile home was very clean and well kept. The owners are super nice and thought of everything that you will need to make your stay an incredible one. There was all the stuff you would need for a dog and even tub toys for children, on top of all of the usual things that you need to run a household. It's also in town and just one block away from the campground.If you go a little further, you're on Agate Beach. I definitely give them 10 out of 10 stars for this place. Ty Walt and Christine.
