Great house and location
The Big Red house is ideal for any trip to GM, walk downtown, easy access to trails and the house is spacious enough for a group. Plenty of parking space for trucks and trailers

Perfect location right in town. Pictures do not do this house justice. Cutest house and tons of space! Hosts were great at responding with questions and check in/check out was so easy. We have stayed in multiple houses through Grand Marais and this is by far one of our absolute favorites. We will be back for sure! We had 3 trucks and trailers and all 3 fit with plenty of space.

Pure bliss
I think my first words words when myself and my Mom walked in was "WOW". It was so beautiful, i was actually speechless. There were 6 of us, and everyone was very comfortable with the place. We had enough room to move around, and the kitchen was stocked well with cooking utensils and vessels. My 88 year old Mother loved the place and enjoyed being able to have a dining room table big enough for us all to eat together ❤️

My Happy Place
House has plenty of room to spread out. We Appreciated the extra special touches in the home. GM is my favorite place to be and this house fits all our needs. The owners are amazing to work with and own the ATV power sports shop next door for a day on the trails. Also try the Breakwall restaurant for a delicious breakfast We can’t wait for next year!

Wonderful time at Big Red
Big Red was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. A great location with hospitable hosts in a hidden gem of a town. Day trips, walks to the beach and ice cream stand, and a place you’d like to call home, this is an ideal home and town. And, every bed is a sleep number bed giving you some of the best sleep you’ve had in a while.

Peaceful Relaxing Getaway
The home was even better in person than the pictures. This was one of the best vacations I’ve taken with my family. Lots of recreational activities around the area. Beautiful place to explore and wonderful small lake town. Everything in the town was walking distance and everyone was friendly. Sleep number beds was a nice touch. Lots of little extras in the kitchen coffee creamer seasonings condiments etc. Only thing I would recommend is some additional towels and washcloths otherwise it was an amazing stay.

We love staying at Big Red!
This was our second time staying at this property. It's the perfect fit and very functional for our family. Things we especially enjoy during our stay: sectional in living space means plenty of room for whole family, sleep number beds and pillows are cozy, multiple tables (especially the newer bigger coffee table) for eating, crafting, puzzling, and games. We especially love being able to walk to the beach! Would love to come back again!
