The house was very nice and clean. The driveway was big enough to accommodate our 2 trucks with 4 place snowmobile trailers. We were concerned about it only having 1 bathroom for the 8 of us but we managed. A 1/2 bath in the basement would make this place perfect. We had a great trip.

We had a great stay at The 8’s! The house was spacious and was perfect size for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking, all the beds were super comfortable and the house was super clean. Everyone loved and gathered around the big table in the kitchen and there was plenty of seating for everyone in the living room. The kids especially loved the downstairs and claimed that living room as theirs. Wr also loved having the garage space to hold extra gear and the men enjoyed grilling and hanging out in there. The host Molly is super friendly and helpful and I’m so appreciative we were able to book our stay here for the dog sled races weekend!

Pretty good stay

Really good location for Grand Marais. House was mostly good except there were some dead bugs squished on the wall in a few spots. There is no air conditioning so I would not recommend this house for summer, we really struggled with that. We tried opening the windows, but even with the screens, that ended up letting a lot of mosquitos in, which obviously isn’t ideal. Felt like we had to choose between sweating all night or being bitten all night. Checkout instructions were brief which can be a good thing, assuming we did what it asked us to do. We weren’t totally sure. All that being said, as long as you aren’t visiting during summer, I’d say this is a pretty perfect house to stay in for the price. It was pretty nice, even with just the one bathroom. I think if another bathroom was added, this place could charge a decent amount more and be very worth it.
