Why Todd and Susan Miller chose Grand Marais

We chose this location 15 years ago because it is very special. We are lifelong Minnesotans and have been passing through Grand Marais our whole lives. We wanted a home on the North Shore, and we believe that Grand Marais is the jewel of the North Shore. Within Grand Marais we wanted to be close to the action and the water. Although this is a very small town, it has big shoulders when it comes to culture and beauty. We believe our specific location is magical because the big lake cools us in summer and warms us in winter. We never get tired of the many moods of Lake Superior and enjoy watching the lake from this property. We started our first rentals next door to the Sky House and we based those on North Shore fish houses. Most of those were restorations of existing homes and we used recycled items where ever we could. We have deeply enjoyed creating special spaces, so it was a logical progression for us to work with one of the most respected architects in Minnesota: David Salmela. We have deeply enjoyed our partnership with this legendary architect, and with the creation of Sky House our life adventure continues.

What makes this House unique

Travel insurance- a more popular option than ever before in these uncertain times! If booking direct you are saving roughly 12-15%. Travel insurance costs between 7 and 9.8%. You can still come out ahead and be fully insured. Or, if. you are confident (and we really hope you are)  just pocket the savings and treat your group to a good dinner when you get here. But please don't just book some dates and then cancel and assume there will be a refund- you must make the correct decisions now that suit your comfort level. Please let us know of your full agreement with these terms and we will go ahead and approve your booking. Thanks so much! Todd and Susan
