With fast fiber WiFi, Mossy Hollow Cove is also ideal for remote work—or simply unplugging and reconnecting with nature. Step outside to enjoy a crackling backyard bonfire under the stars or explore the shoreline of your own private Lake Superior cove.

What Past Guests Have to Say “We loved our stay at this cabin. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we might need. The bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever had in a rental, the wood stove kept the place so cozy. And we appreciated small but thoughtful and useful touches, like a charging port and large cube ice trays for cocktails! Great place; we’d love to stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a lakeside North Shore stay!” “Definitely plan to return here, we have stayed here multiple times already and absolutely love this location and the cozy quiet surroundings! Shhh don't tell too many people about this one... you will want to come back yourselves.” “Mossy Hollow Cove was absolutely perfect for a relaxing and peaceful weekend away. Great views of Lake Superior with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The cabin was cozy, clean, and we felt at home! Our dogs also enjoyed the lake views with all the big windows. Absolutely perfect!” “Great place to relax and unwind. Sunrises were some of the best I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed seeing a bald eagle fly by one morning. Inside of the cabin was beautiful. Comfiest bed I ever slept in.” “Had an absolutely lovely time at Mossy Hollow Cove, which was the main destination for our family road trip, and it was definitely the highlight for us. The cabin was our little sanctuary for 3 nights and we did not want to leave :) Our dog Zoey loved the easy outdoor access and seclusion, and our family loved the overall location of Mossy Hollow, which was convenient to beaches, rivers, hikes, and the delightful town of Grand Marais!” “Words can’t describe the beauty of this place. It is so peaceful, it made you feel you were the only person around. The cabin was awesome and had everything we needed. We like to cook in after hiking all day and the kitchen was well equipped. The location of the fire pit was awesome with the views of the lake. We would definitely return for another trip to stay here!” the property manager requires a Rental Agreement to be filled out Minimum age to book this property is : 18

Beautiful place, very well decorated and very clean. So peaceful and private. Running water is not potable which we only realized on arrival, they have a bottled water/culligan dispenser. Trash needs to be carried out to the dump. Heater was very touchy and would come on at strange times. Best to bring a 4 wheel drive vehicle for driveway entry. None of these things detracted from this very special spot.
