Grand Marais, is a beautiful lakeside town with amazing views of Lake Superior, great local shops, and relaxing small-town charm. Artists Point is a must-visit, and the nearby hiking trails are excellent. Bring layers because the weather changes quickly near the lake. Perfect spot for a peaceful weekend getaway.

The host was helpful and always quick to respond to any questions I had. We were a bit surprised by the number of steps we had to navigate up to the living space. There is no AC here, and normally there would be no need for it, but it was unusually warm weather. Additionally, Grand Marais is currently experiencing an infestation of spruce budworm moths. Because the screens did not fit snuggly in the windows we had to choose between a cool breeze or bugs. A bit of a perfect storm, with unusual weather and an unusual infestation of moths. I’m sure it would have been more comfortable at any other time. The location is ideal, walking distance from everything.
