This VRBO is close to the Pincushion Trail for biking & hiking. It's also a quick drive to town for coffee and donuts.
In the general Grand Marais area we saw two otters, a jack rabbit, plenty of bouncing crows, 2 wolves and three pups, chipmunks, red squirrels, humming birds, snakes and water birds. The wolves were spotted from atop the NE side of Pincushion Mountain looking E down into a meadow. The adults were rather large!
Inside, I am sorry to say, was visual, audible, and scent evidence of mice. We did not use the kitchen because of the mouse activity. All of our food was kept inside our cooler as not to add to the party that we were not invited to.
The sleeping arrangements were comfortable for my family. Thank you for the 3 fans. Drapes would be a plus.
We gave up on the entertainment system. We changed the batteries in the remote with no luck. We saw the directions in the handbook. The movie supply looked fun for late night relaxing. I enjoyed your books- especially the Big Sur Cookbook.
The stream was a bonus for us. It's deep in spots (2.5-3 ft.). The otters were spotted early in the morning on the far side of the stream.
The back deck is not safe for a small group of adults to be all at once. The situation is in dire need of a sure foundation.
The mosquitoes were not out of control. The driveway was a nice wooded walk. The neighbors/pets were quiet. There's plenty of firewood for bonfires and we were happy to find a shower. Thank You.
