Croftville Road Cottages #2. On the Shore of Lake Superior. Cozy and Romantic.

Located 80 feet from Lake Superior’s beach, Cottage #2 provides the gentle sound of breaking waves hitting the shore. There is a spectacular overall open view of Superior amidst small aspens. Only walking paths, natural vegetation, and rocks separate you from the water. A stairway provides easy access to the 540ft of rocky beach. In front of Cottage #2 is a fire circle with comfortable seating and a charcoal grill. The front bedroom features a queen bed, a romantic gas stove, and a lakeside patio door. The living room has a decorative gas stove and a picture window looking out upon the lake. It is furnished with a plush futon, 2 wingback chairs, a smart TV with access to the internet (no broadcast TV), a DVD player, and a dinette set. The rear of the cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a bedroom with a full-size bed. This four-season cottage is open all year, decorated with a moose, bear, and wolf theme, and has wireless internet access. An artesian well provides excellent water for drinking. Cottage #2 sleeps up to 6 people (2 on the futon) with all linens provided.

Cottage #2 is one of 8 vacation rentals at Croftville Road Cottages. There are 3 cottages plus the inn with 5 vacation suites, an office, and owners quarters. Croftville Road Cottages is owned and operated by Teresa and Mike Chmelik who live on-site. The inviting and romantic cottages and suites are impeccably clean and meticulously maintained. Croftville Road Cottages offers an experience reminiscent of days past when small mom and pop resorts were found all along the North Shore. However, the cozy cottages and luxurious inn suites are among the finest vacation rentals along Lake Superior. Croftville Road Cottages is conveniently located just 3 miles from downtown Grand Marais on the lakeside of scenic Croftville Road known by locals as the "walking road".

Come relax by a fire. Hike along the beach. Enjoy the ever-changing sights and sounds of the lake. Please contact Teresa and Mike with any questions you might have. They look forward to your stay winter, spring, summer, or fall at Croftville Road Cottages.

Beautiful North Shore Getaway
My husband and I spent a week traveling along the North Shore this fall, and we loved this property best of all the places we stayed. We loved the quiet seclusion, the cozy cottage, and hearing the waves of Lake Superior right outside our door. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and gas fireplace places. Such a relaxing ambience.

Beautiful view, convenient location, clean & quiet
We loved our time at at the cottage. It felt like a home-away-from-home respite. Covid precautions were sensible and intuitive. The check-in/check-out process was seamless, everything was neat as a pin, and fantastic view of Lake Superior just a few paces away. We received a quick response to the one question we had, and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We look forward to making this an annual tradition.

Perfect Getaway
Wonderful little cabin with all the amenities you would need! Steps away from Lake Superior, and a quick drive into the town of Grand Marais! Plenty of good hikes near by to explore, and only about an hour from Split Rock Lighthouse and an hour and a half from Gooseberry Falls. Would definitely recommend!

Relaxing retreat
This cottage was exactly what we were looking for! Plenty of space to sleep our family of six comfortably, short walk to the rocky beach where kids could climb over the boulders and skip rocks. Little private spaces to sit and listen to the waves crashing on shore all over the property. Short drive to downtown Grand Marais so we could easily drive in for dinner. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Relaxing fire by Lake Superior
Cottage had everything we needed — cousins from Norway commented it looked like Norway. FIre and loons on lake — so quiet and enjoyable. The owner Chris was very nice — maybe I can finangle letting us bring clean, well behaved pets next year when it is just the wife and I???
