If we could choose a 'home away from home', this would be it. Who needs frills and ritzy room service? In Grand Marais, you're already close enough to heaven. Rates reasonable, room comfy. Great food within walking distance; microwave and coffee pot in room.

The location, service, cost, and room quality were all top notch. The owner made sure everything was going well each time we saw him. The price was very low for what we got. The room was redone and had a nice north woods feel. There was a fridge and a lot of space in the room.

I stayed here while I was taking a class at North House Folk School, the hotel is very clean and tidy. The owners are very helpful and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. I arrived on Valentine's day and Dave had left some sweets on my bedside table! Bed was comfie,... More

The hotel is new and pretty small. The room was very basic and didn't have many amenities. The location is very good, just a few blocks from the stores and restaurants in central Grand Marais. The owners were great.

We stayed at the Mangy Moose on a whim because of an impending winter storm that was supposed to hit the Twin Cities and all points north on the Sunday we were supposed to travel to the Gunflint Lodge. We called Dave and asked if he had any rooms available for Saturday night so we could at least get to... More

My husband and daughter stayed at the Mangy Moose in September 2012. Not only was the room cozy and clean with reasonable rates, but the hosts made them feel right at home. Don and Dave offered suggestions for their trip to Isle Royale and the best places to eat in the area. This is a fun place to stay and... More

My parents and I stayed at The Mangy Moose over the past weekend and were incredibly pleased with our experience. Don and Dave were very warm and had great sightseeing recommendations to help us make the most of our weekend. The beds and pillows in room number 5 were very comfortable and we all slept great! The property is meticulously... More

Stayed here for 2 nights while we were Leaf Peepers in the area. Reasonable rates, the room was clean, with fridge, microwave and coffeepot, great tv. It was perfect. Check-in was a breeze, our room was nice and cozy. Within walking distance to just about everything. If we go back to MN I would stay here!

A visit to the MN north shore is an annual must-do for us. We always spend at least a day and night in Grand Marais. Over the past 40 years, we have stayed in every hotel in town. This year, we finally found IT! The perfect place! A small honest-to-goodness motel. Park in front of the room, sit outside the... More
