Hotels Near Father Baraga's Cross in Schroeder

We stayed 3 nights in late August 2024. 2 adults and 4 young kids. We stayed in a 1 bedroom accommodation. It had a full kitchen with full refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, and dishes & silverware set. Everything was clean and in good condition in the apartment. The living room was about the same size as the bedroom and got a bit crowded when the sofa bed was opened up, but otherwise the room is plenty spacious. The kids enjoyed the balcony and being able to watch the Lake Superior waves, people kayaking, the local tour sailboat cruises, etc in the bay. The property offers popcorn in the evening, coffee and tea all day, fire pits (DIY - make your own fire with firewood, not the easy-light propane kind), s’mores for the fire pits and plenty of board games and activities to check out. Our kids particularly liked the telescope we could check out, and I was able to find Saturn and show that to them, which was the hit of the trip. The property is well maintained, quiet, and you cannot ask for a better location in Grand Marais - walking distance to everything. The DQ, the pizza shop (Sven and Ole’s?), the breakwater, etc. I took a star away since often the popcorn was gone by 5-5:30 PM in the evening and they did not make any more in the popcorn machine, though they will give you a bag of microwave popcorn for free for your room if you ask. Also the fire pit situation was a bit more work than I expected. Most other properties I’ve visited with the “free s’mores” feature have propane-fed or natural gas type fire bowls or fire pits that are just “on” all evening to use. I was not expecting to need my old Boy Scout skills to build a fire in a campsite-style fire ring and then put it out myself when done. Several of the light bulbs in our room also were burnt out, but otherwise the property and room were in good condition and very clean.
