Pretty location!

The house was fully stocked and plenty spacious with a short walk down to Lake Superior. Be aware that the boardwalk across the marsh to the beach is narrow and a bit wobbly.

Perfect stay for Snowmobiling

Great spot to stay if you have a large group looking to snowmobile! Location is great easy access to town and the snowmobile trail just down the road. Easily fit Two trucks and trailers just let the host know ahead of time and plowed extra space for us. Kitchen is excellent for cooking large amounts of food for breakfast and dinner. The view is very nice to wind down too. Would stay here again.

Wonderful Beach View

The property is located in a great spot and easy drive to get to many of the sites in the area. Very clean and well kept. A short walk to the beach was nice. It was great for our family!

Stay was great!

Was a nice place, really loved the separate heat in each room. Perfect for us, plus we was there to snowmobile. There was plenty of room to park, the entire town of Grand Marais welcomed snowmobiles, even plowed snow to edge of road to allow for snowmobiles to ride side of roads.

No communication before the stay

Nice place. Beautiful view. Great beds. Stayed there for snowmobiling. Right on the road for the trail. Sent messages through VBRO for two months before the trip. No communication until I got ahold of VBRO the day of the trip. Then there was communication. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be open for us when we got there. She stated that she had sent emails. None were received until I stated that there had been none the day of the trip. That is very frustrating when trying to plan a trip with multiple people.

Great Location

The location is superb. Lake Superior view from deck…short walk to beach. A mile or so from ‘downtown’ Grand Marais. Close to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for great hiking. The house had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen. The Property Managerbwasnt the most responsive. Had to track her down to get arrival info. The track to the deck slider and screen is in need of cleaning and a silicone or wd40 application to help it slide better. Bathtub drain is extremely slow. No remote for the DVD player. All in all enjoyed our stay.

Heads up!

Property manager is not a great communicator. Got a limited response when it came to money. When I started asking about check in instructions I received no response to text or by phone. Completely ghosted. This left me worried for 2 days about our next stay in the UP. We showed up and the house was open and there were written instructions on the fridge. It was fine but could've just shot me a quick response. I'm sure the days leading up to our stay could've been a little more pleasant. All that said Grand Marais is awesome. Must see. The house was good and the beach is a good hike from the house but absolutely gorgeous.

Love Grand Marais, wouldn't call this a 3 bedroom house, though there are enough beds for 9.

Great location, beach is amazing, house was very clean, easy to access. My only issue was the third "bedroom" was technically the entry way, it didn't have doors on both sides, only 1.
