We stayed here for a nice quiet getaway and it was awesome! Ron is a great host and an excellent cook. The lake is right out back with a fantastic view. Its also very close to town which makes it easy to go in and eat at the many delicious restaurants. The room was very clean and we instantly felt comfortable when we stepped in. All in all, a great place to stay. We plan on going back and will recommend it to anyone!

In a nice quiet area of Grand Marais without a long drive to town. The view was worth the stay.

We had an amazing time at Skara Brae. The room is lovely (we were in the room with the adjacent sitting room) and the views of Lake Superior are worth paying for. Ron was the consummate host, there when you needed him but respectful of space and privacy. The coffee set out at 7 am so we could watch the sunrise from the porch overlooking the lake was a wonderful touch and indicative of how much thought has gone into making his guests feel welcome. Breakfast was amazing (omelet with veg, sausages, fruit and potatoes) and conversation was lively and friendly. The resident cat helped add the homey touch. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a restful, relaxing break with gorgeous views and a bit of pampering!
