If even for just a night...

This was hands down the best one night stay we've ever had. The property owners were very helpful with the few questions we had. The location was just out enough from all the MEA travelers in the area that we didn't feel crowded. The location was just off the water and waking up to that sunrise was stunning. The property was well maintained and had everything we needed. We will absolutely be staying here again.

Refreshing

We had the windows open our entire stay & it was very relaxing listening to the waves rhythmically slapping the shore. No noisy television…no noisy traffic…just the lake. Clean, cozy, & well accommodated. Had everything we needed to make breakfast & set out on a day of exploring area attractions.

Overall Nice Stay

Overall nice stay. Shower is extremely small if that is a factor when choosing a place. Also, I personally thought check out routine was asking for a little much - all surfaces to to wiped down (dusting?) and to sweep floors.

Thank you!

What a fantastic trip! This property was as beautiful and clean as pictured. The location was just outside of Grand Marais' maintaining the wonderful towns charm and access without losing privacy. The loft is across the street from Lake Superior and we could hear the waves, especially during the Gale force winds. It was amazing! Thank you to our hosts! We are looking forward to booking another stay!

Great home base for an active trip

We loved staying at Loftville. The location was perfect with minor exceptions (see below). Easy access and great directions. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive. I have a couple of critiques, but want to be careful to note that I made this booking EXTREMELY SPONTANEOUSLY and didn't put a ton of thought into the trip or our needs. 1. Wifi. Ideally - wifi is not a necessity for a trip to the north shore. There is no TV in this space (which is WONDERFUL TBH), so any entertainment is dependent on WiFi. For us this primarily meant streaming music, but we did use netflix after our children were asleep. The wifi was spotty at best. This is really just an FYI really. It is a simple fix, but also totally unneeded for anyone not needing to stream. (Hot tip: download your music first if you're a music person!) The bigger issue was the living room furnishings. The sofa is very uncomfortable - not a place to lounge or relax. The one chair available is comfortable though. This is fine if you're out kayaking/hiking/boating all day and all you just plan to come back and crash early so you can start again the next day. But if you have some hours to kill after your kids are asleep - it would be nice to have a comfortable place to lounge. Had I paid more attention to the listing when I booked, this would have been preventable. The only other item is that there is NO lake access at this location. The entire shoreline is private property along the road and watchful eyes are readily available to call out that fact. (My wife took our kids to the shore through a vacant lot - yes w/ p.p. signs - right after we arrived so they could see the lake briefly before we took off on a hike and a neighbor was immediately calling out to them. This is totally understandable from a property owner's perspective, just not ideal for a lake visit. This is clearly another thing i could have paid more attention to when looking for a booking. All that said - we have no regrets in staying at Loftville. It served its overall purpose very well.

Lovely Loft!

We had a wonderful time at the Loft! From the moment we pulled up and the kids waved to us to the moment when we left, it was a lovely and peaceful place to spend a few days. The loft is a stylish mix of industrial meets IKEA meets lakeshore and the whole combination works perfectly. Immaculately kept, we had everything we needed from a great view of Superior down to a well stocked kitchen. We loved it!

Cozy and clean Loft located just steps from Lake Superior.

The Loftville was such a charming, clean and perfectly located spot to spend my vacation. I was so impressed with the uniquely decorated interior and exterior of the property and the location just steps from Lake Superior. I walked along Croftville Road in the mornings and evenings enjoying the beautiful peaceful scenery and the sound of the waves. My days were filled with hikes at the nearby State Parks, numerous waterfalls, finding agates along the shore and amazing views of Lake Superior. I would highly recommend the Loftville for your next visit to the North Shore.

Great Visit

A really cozy apartment - located above a garage in Croftville. Located incredibly close to Lake Superior. The space was lovely, with a bedroom, and a combined living room / dining room / kitchen space. We felt independent, although our hosts lived in the home next to us (and were available if we had questions). We definitely recommend the stay!

Embracing the Spirit of Lake Superior

Comfy, clean and close to the lake fit the bill. That with the use of the fire ring (for a 6 hour hot dog and cocoa experience) and the the roar of the waves crashing against the rocks set us up for an outside October experience not to be forgotten. Only thing, next time no stairs for us. Getting too old for that.

PERFECTION

This is an exquisite get-away spot. The loft is perfectly outfitted and decorated. I loved the collection of Reader's Digest and other reading material. The family gave me my space but was right there when I needed my wine bottle opened. The bed is super comfortable. Your day from morning to night will be perfect. Wish I was still there.

Loft on the big lake.

We found the loft convenient to great hikes and bike trails. The location was a short drive from town, but was close to secluded beaches. The neighborhood is very quiet and has a great view of the lake. The loft is well equipped and spacious for 2 people. The internet was very good. We enjoyed are stay!

Perfect Escape!

Loftville is a gorgeous cozy-chic, really clean, little escape from the Cities. There is plenty of room for the kids to play while creating a meal or getting ready to head out for the day. The beds were so comfortable! I hardly ever sleep well while away from home but slept great each night at the loft. The road outside the loft is perfect for getting some fresh air without having to go far. It's about a 3 mile walk, round-trip, and lined with beautiful views of the lake and quaint cabins, cottages, and homes. Located right off 61, it's convenient to travel from the loft to any popular site or hiking trail near by. We would definitely recommend staying at Loftville!

About the host

Hosted by Justin and Colette Mueller

As kids we both frequently visited the Grand Marais area for Boundary Waters canoe trips. In our early twenties, after meeting in Alaska, we decided to spend a summer working in the area. That summer has turned into a lifetime, we are now married and raising our three children on the North Shore. It seems we've become attached to the mild weather, beautiful landscape, wonderful community, and varied outdoor opportunities this spot has to offer.

We live next to the loft year round, and spent a year building a really sweet place for our family, friends , and guests to visit.

Why they chose this property

The perfect location for enjoying all that Grand Marais has to offer, while being slightly removed to enjoy the tranquil shoreline. This spot is somewhat secluded and quite scenic, but still convenient in it's close proximity to town.

What makes this property unique

Our friends who visit us enjoy listening to the waves lap against the shoreline in the morning while eating breakfast with the windows open or being able to walk right out their door and hiking to the Devil Track river canyons. Others enjoy a jog, walk or bike ride along our scenic lake-side road. It's a great place if for relaxing in the spacious area after a day of fishing or paddling or strolling through Grand Marais.
