They have the cutest things and I love supporting this small woman owned business. I especially appreciate the handwritten thank you note I received w my order - those details are so meaningful and much appreciated! Give this place a shot - you won't be disappointed!

If you want to be treated as an inconvenience just for walking into their store and desire to pay double for a 6 pack of NA beer then this is the place for you. The girl behind the counter could not have been more rude. We grabbed our purchase and high tailed it out of there. Would have stuck around to purchase other items but the store girl made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

This store is PHENOMENAL!!! We'll stop every year when we come up for camping. They had beautiful art and wonderful people. Picked up a few stickers and even though it looks like more of a gallery store my tiny human didn't bother them at all. 10 out of 10 will recommend to everyone!

Every time we go to Grand Marais we stop at The Big Lake. Abby wasn’t there the last time we stopped to pick up a few gifts but her employee was very friendly and helpful.

Abby and her staff do a great job of finding and displaying unique gifts, pottery, greeting cards, and much more. Really nice store, friendly and helpful staff, fun to visit. We always stop in when in Grand Marais.

If you have medical reasons for not wearing a mask you WILL be discriminated against. Just another way that you get treated differently. They have a walk up window but it's kind of hard to see all the cool things through a tiny little window with plexiglass insinde the window... So sad that our world has come to treating people with special needs like out casts. Would have really enjoyed patronizing the artist that provides for the store. Only reason for 3 stars is the brief interaction with the staff was heart felt and genuine.

Look, this pandemic is messing with absolutely everyone's life. Which is why it makes it even more weird and bewildering and endearing and impressive when tiny shops in Grand Marais are just abso-fucking-lutely annihilating this whole "Operating In A Pandemic As A Small Business" situation. I've ordered from this place twice and had the exact same experience: ridiculously unbelievable wowness. I ordered this THREE DAYS AGO and now it's here. HOW. My post office is legit burned down and this was still here in three days! Look at what they sent me! All I ordered was two packs of greeting cards that I could use to whine to my friends about pandemic life! And they sent me this thoughtful, beautiful thing! What the hell is your problem, Everyone Else? Big Lake is beating the pants off of you! PS. I just turned the card over and there's a handwritten note wtfwtfwtfwtf JUST TAKE MY WALLET.

I love this store! They have a wonderful selection of art, gifts and more. The art is beautiful! The owner, Abby, was so helpful and kind when I ordered art to be shipped elsewhere. My art arrived in pristine shape! I will definitely buy from The Big Lake again!

This shop was like walking into a store perfectly curated for me! so many gorgeous options- artwork, candles, jewelry, books....I can't wait to visit Grand Marais again to visit! The store owner is lovely as well! Can't recommend enough.
