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!
