Spring is in the Air!

Good morning, friends!

It is another beautiful, sunny day here in Grand Marais!  The snow is almost all melted in our yard and there are some green plants popping up in the flower garden.  I just can't wait to get out and clean up the rock gardens and flower gardens.  The birds are singing!

We have been working on some projects around the house to get ready for the new season.  We made signs for our rooms and are working on some tables as well. 

Here are some pictures of our rooms:

Our Bay View Room
This room is handicapped accessible and perfect for one or two people.

Our Superior View Suite
This room has a futon for an extra person or two.

Our Black Bear Suite
Also known as our Honeymoon Suite!
This is our most favorite room and our most private room.  It also has a futon (if you're not on your honeymoon, of course!)

Here are a couple of pictures of our entry way:

We just wanted to put some new pictures out there for everyone to see.  We are looking forward to another great season with some awesome guests!

As we add more things to our B&B we will post pictures in future blog updates.

Have an awesome day!

It's been awhile...

Hi, friends! 

I have to apologize for letting this blog become dormant for over two years.  I have been thinking about it and have decided to get it back up to date and plan to post at least once per month. 

This July will be our 5th season of operating our B&B and it's been lots of fun and continues to be a great learning experience.  Something new is always coming up!  Last year we put a new metal room on our home - it looks great.  This year we plan to have the outside wood siding refinished. 

This was our best winter yet as far as business goes.  Snow mobilers and outdoor winter sport enthusiasts are still learning about our B&B.  We think that we have the ideal accommodation for these sports because of our heated garage.  All outdoor clothing, jackets, boots, helmets, etc., can be put in our garage to dry and your room will be less cluttered.  Plus, we have an awesome hot tub to relax after a day out in the snow.  Our guests enjoy an awesome, hearty breakfast and then can gear up and be on their way to another winter adventure! 

Jamey & I traveled to Tahquamenon Falls and Whitefish Point this past March to check out the ice on the falls - it was awesome.  Here are some pictures:

This was our first time visiting the falls in the winter and it was just breathtaking.  It's only about one hour and 20 minutes from our B&B. 
Here is a picture of Whitefish Point lighthouse:

It is a beautiful drive up to Whitefish Point and it's about 30 minutes North of Tahquamenon Falls.  

We are looking forward to getting back outside when the snow melts and working on our gardens.  We love the snow; however, it's time to see green!

Here is a quote from our guestbook from some of our repeat snowmobiler friends:

"Thanks again for a wonderful time, so happy we got to return.  Your hospitality is genuine and lets us know we are among friends.  Glad to see you have an increase in snowmobile customers!  Until next time, God Bless." 

We just love reading the comments from our guests. 

I have also been trying new recipes and have increased my recipes for special diets such as gluten free, vegan and other issues. 

Here is a picture of Jamey & I from yesterday.  It was very windy in the dunes and our friend Karen took this photo of the wind holding us up!

Thanks for reading this blog and you will hear from us again soon!
