Great place in Grand Marais

This is a great place to stay for a family of 4 in Grand Marais. The property is clean and well maintained, and the communication with the owners was excellent. It is within walking distance of all the downtown action, and a stone throw away from Voyageur brewery. The hammock and fireplace were a plus as well. Will try to come back.

Birthday celebration for family member

It would be hard to find a more perfect location to enjoy Lake Superior in Grand Marais, MN. We had a constant view of the lake and lighthouse, and was conveniently located in the center of town, near restaurants, shopping and enjoying nature. We had a lovely stay and hope to return in the future!

Nice house in a great location

The giant snow storm made it a little messy to get in and out of the house, but not much you could have done about that. We loved playing some of the board games and enjoyed a little TV too. Great view of the lake. The house worked great for us!

Delightful, peaceful stay

We stayed with another couple at this cute VRBO during Grand Marais slow season in mid-April. The VRBO had all we needed, with a nice view of Lake Superior. The host, MaryKate, clearly and quickly communicated with us when we had questions. We would stay here again!

Cozy getaway

The property was easily accessible with convenient parking. The property was clean and had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to prepare several meals. MaryKate also provided some delicious locally roasted coffee that we really enjoyed. If you're looking for a quite, centrally located getaway in Grand Marais, this is a great option. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect!

Ok, some of the perfection was 2 days of sunny 60+ degree weather in mid October. If you like being within walking distance but in your own building (there is a renter or someone on the other side, but only heard when leaving out the front door), then this place is it. If you like the view out on the lake, the sunrise view from the big front window and the comfort of the couch, chairs and beds, then this place is it. If you like the huge fire pit and delicious steaks cooked on it as well as the smoked fish house within view, then this is the place. My wife and I as well as another couple stayed. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see that you have to walk through 1 room to get to the other. But the bathroom with doors to the bathroom as well as between the rooms make the inconvenience of that very minimal. Will stay there again.
