Why the Owner Chose Grand Marais
Grand Marais has a unique vibe rarely found in a town of this size. Grand Marais places a premium on culture. The community's Arrowhead Center for the Arts hosts performances ranging from locally produced plays to national recording artists. The renowned North House Folk School attracts students from across the country with its curriculum of folk arts and crafts and construction skills. Founded in 1947, the Grand Marais Art Colony is the oldest art colony in the state. The Johnson Heritage post has continuous showings of works by local and regional artists. Ella's Inn is only two to four blocks from most attractions including great dining, shopping and picturesque harbor views. The historical significance paired with the location makes Ella's Inn the perfect place to call home while in Grand Marais.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseThe guests at Ella's Inn have access to all amenities of the home. A fully equipped kitchen allows guests to dine in or enjoy fresh morning coffee. Relax and share stories of the day's adventures around the outdoor fire ring while toasting marshmallows.

Grand Marais is the best, Gunflint Tavern, Dockside Fish Market and beachcombing. Thanks so much for a lovely stay. We were very comfortable here and would highly recommend Ella's.

Thank you Ella for such a wonderful place to stay. It was better than any hotel/motel we could ever find. It felt like a second home to us. We are recommending Ella's to anyone we know and don't know.

We hiked, we swam, we ate our fill of fish and got mesmerized by your beaches, rocks, rocks and more rocks. Ella's Inn was a lovely place to stay. It was more than we hoped for. We will be back.

This was the best vacation place we've ever stayed. It offered us luxury linens and softest bath towels of a five-star hotel in the warm atmosphere of grandma's house. We felt more than welcome and will definitely return. Tell your story to the world and soon Ella's Inn will be everyone's grandmother's house.

We caught one brook trout out of the harbor. Artist Point is very cool. We saw the fireworks over the harbor which was neat. We will be back for sure, this is a great place!
