Small with big charm
Loved the location to Grand Marais. The interior decor was fun. The furnishings were cute and well done. We enjoyed our brief stay and would definitely book again if opportunity arises.

Quiet cabin in birch woods
We stayed 5 nights in this cute off-grid cabin that has solar power for phones and there’s signal. It’s a hike to the cabin up and down some hills (which we knew about) but it means you don’t want to cart in a lot of extra stuff. It is a great getaway place. There’s so much to do in the area: eating in Grand Marais, hiking the many nearby trails and being by Lake Superior.

Secluded rustic cabin
This was a cute cabin off the beaten path. Good size for 2 people or for a small family with younger kids. Very nice area. We were able to bike to Grand Marais. Quiet (except for an occasional barking dog). Exceptional area to watch the stars. I didn’t realize how primitive it was until after booking. It’s solar lighting with a USB port. So no real electricity. Like glamping but make sure you are prepare not to shower. There’s a curtain outside, but high weeds, and you can use a spray pump shower. We just stayed stinky. Also, if you have sleeping needs such as a CPAP, forgo, there’s no way to run one. The main cabin has a futon but mattress is very uncomfortable. It’s where we spent our downtime, but could be SOOOO much better with a thicker mattress or a new couch in its place. Also, they have 2 hammocks, which is great, but the area needed a good weed wacking, in order to utilize it. The fire pit was a plus with plenty of wood. It could have used some outside cooking tools. It’s a great place for people who don’t want to tent camp, but not for people who want the basic amenities like electricity and a hot shower on a trip.

Ok but wouldn’t rebook
The inside of the cabin is very cute. There was not adequate weather stripping around the door, so at night the mosquitoes would come in between the door and frame- we placed brown grocery bags in the open area and that helped to keep mosquitos out. The grounds surrounding the cabin had vegetation up to my knee. There for if you laid in a hammock the vegetation would be as high as you and the mosquitoes would be extreme. Same with the shower area. There is no open areas for children to play except for the 4 foot fire area, the deck, or the path back to the car. I tried to find the river path but unable due to un-mantained pathway. You are expected to mop the floors before leaving, they were so dirty I doubt anyone had previously mopped. The solar panel was unable to fully charge one cell phone, I would recommend an additional panel. The outhouse was nice although you can’t hook the door closed and the underside of the toilet seat had stool and urine on it. The surrounding woods is beautiful.

Delightful!
The perfect off-grid experience! Take the advice to pack light in light of the five minute hike through the woods to get there. The cabin was beautifully designed and very comfortable. I didn’t do a lot of cooking because there are so many great restaurants close by. The composting toilet is just across the deck - very clean and no odor at all. Great fire pit and star gazing available. Would highly recommend this beautiful off-grid cabin - that doesn’t feel too off-grid. 😎

Quiet, clean cabin
It’s a beautiful, special place in a birch grove where you can see stars appear while enjoying a fire outside. The walk from the parking area is easy as long as you don’t try to bring too much stuff. It is a good place to be minimal. Everything you really need is there, including lighting and being able to charge your phone, even though it’s off the grid.

Great stay - convenient location
Communication with owners was excellent. Very convenient location to Grand Marais and to pursue other adventures on The Big Lake - we took a day trip to Isle Royale, which was beautiful. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed - is very well thought out - heed the suggestion to pack light for short hike to cabin :). Overall, great stay and good value - will likely stay again.

Quick long weekend
My husband and I along with our soon to be Senior in college daughter enjoyed a long weekend at Ferny Fern. The description is exactly what you get. We arrived after dark and both the driving directions and hike into the property we’re easy to manage. Packing light is key. The property is wonderfully secluded. The no electricity is not an issue at all as they have figured out how to make it cozy. We would definitely stay again. My only suggestion is that the futon mattress should be replaced or upgraded. I am sure it gets a lot of use functioning as a couch and a bed.

Wonderful stay off grid
We loved our time at Ferny Fern. It was fun being deep in the woods yet still so close to so many Grand Marais attractions. The cabin is well designed and snug and we were very comfortable. Starry night and rainy night were both lovely.
