Grand Marais in March

My wife, our dog, and I all enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. When you want to rent some place where it checks all the boxes then go here. Clean, comfortable and with attention to detail - this place had it all. We especially loved having some entertaining games of ping pong! Our thanks to Nancy and Matt!!

Quick Ski Trip

This VRBO is great. It is our second stay and it would be our first choice if we come back to the area. Kids love the ping pong table. The house is cozy and inviting. The amenities are great and the house functions perfectly for a family. Could not even suggest an improvement in all fairness! Well done!

Great house in a great location

Even without snow - a first for us on our post-Christmas trip to Grand Marais - we had a fabulous time! The ping pong table remains a favorite, but we also love that the living area is big enough for games and puzzles! The short walk to Grand Marais makes wandering around town and out to the lighthouse a great way to get out and hit all our favorite eateries!
