Lakefront Chicago Bay Hideaway | Cabin in Hovland
1 Bedroom Cabin in Grand Marais, Hovland
Escape to the "Skipping Stone" cabin on the Chicago Bay of Lake Superior. This historical property is a short walk from the cement Hovland Dock that was built in 1905. This beautiful piece of property was the homestead chosen by the first settlers here in 1888. The first settlers then named Hovland after their home village in Norway; they ran a hotel and store here for those arriving to the North Shore by ship.
Imagining the history that happened here while staying in this rustic little cabin is magical. It is a perfect home base for your Northwoods adventures. There is nothing better than sleeping and eating steps from the majestic great lake. This cabin is perfect for two but can accommodate four people in tight quarters (best to keep the sofa bed closed when not in use). There is wifi, but it may not be optimal for working/zoom calls. Also EV charging is not possible at this cabin. Location:
✦ 4 miles to Devil's Kettle hike
✦ 18 miles to Grand Marais
✦ 18 miles to Isle Royale ferry
✦ 22 miles to the Grand Portage State Park
✦ 35 miles to Lutsen
☆ We require guests to sign a rental agreement which will be sent after booking. This agreement must be read, signed and returned within 48 hours or cancellation for a full refund can be requested within 48 hours. Please read cancellation policy.
☆ There is no Wi-Fi in the surrounding areas; check-in instructions will be sent to you ahead of time with the house Wi-Fi password and lock box code. Please write these down!
☆ One dog allowed with a $50 pet fee. Please read contract carefully to agree to specific rules:
1. Dogs must be leashed at all times and not run free. To stay pet friendly we cannot have dogs disrupt the other cabin on the property or neighbors walking their dogs on the road.
2. Dog waste must be picked up and will result in using part of the deposit as a cleaning fee; our neighborhood relies on Lake Superior as our water source and we cannot have excess bacteria run-off
3. Dogs may not be on bed or sofa without a covering because of future guest allergies; evidence of this will result in keeping partial deposit for additional cleaning.
☆ No more than four guests and no more than one car on the property at one time
☆ No ATVs or dirt bikes allowed on the property.
☆ Drinking water will be supplied to comply with the Cook County regulations regarding homes that water drawn from Lake Superior be labeled as not potable. Faucet water is treated and can be used for washing.
☆ We are a cabin in the Northwoods and next to water. While we do have pest control monitor our home, there are mosquitos, spiders and flies in the summer so bringing bug spray is recommended. We have never seen a mouse in the house, but their presence is possible. Also the area is home to moose, wolves, bears, river otters, deer, fox and coyotes; please respect the wildlife by keeping all food and garbage indoors and monitor dogs closely.
☆ There is a second dwelling on the property; a 3-bedroom cabin. It can be an additional rental. There may be other guests renting this small cabin during your stay. Both cabins share the main driveway but have their own parking and lake shoreline. Guests will be required to respect the signs regarding the boundaries between these two cabins.
