From the stunning location to the ease of access to a variety of destinations, Fish Hook Cove was absolutely perfect. The property was exceptionally clean, furnished with every essential, and the views, as shown in the pictures, are breathtaking.
Looking for fishing? Try Pike or Caribou Lakes. Solitude? Stay on the property. Hiking? The trails are countless and range from easy to moderately difficult (we enjoyed Lookout Mountain and some others near Taconite Harbor).
Lutsen tends to be a little bit pricey for us, so we did our "touristy" trips into Grand Marais. If you want to experience a FANTASTIC "Hole in the Wall" bar, Up Yonder is the place for you. Keep in mind that World's Best Donuts is CLOSED on Tuesdays and Wednesday, so plan accordingly. Hungry Hippie Tacos, on the other hand, is open every day of the week.
We try to do one "big" vacation trip each year as a family (all adults, now), and this was one of our all time favorites.
