The house was perfect! It had everything that we needed. There is a hutch stocked full of books and games. The beds were comfortable. The hosts were amazing and so easy to work with (I feel like I asked a lot of questions). The location is perfect. It's only a block up from the stores, so it was an easy, quick walk when I needed something from the grocery store. I will definitely look into staying again if I need to stay in Grand Marais again.

The house was extremely clean and well maintained. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants and also a great central location if you want to explore the Seney Nal Wildlife Refuge and Pictured Rocks.

Great stay at Big Red

We've been to GM many times since the 70's and have stayed in several rentals. Big Red was great--perfect location in town, great kitchen, sleep # beds, clean, spacious for 5 adults, Roku tv, easy and prompt communication with the owners. Highly recommended, and we would stay again.

Excellent house!

We had a great stay at the Big Red house. It was very clean and welcoming. We traveled with 3 young children and it’s a child friendly house with toys for them to play with and a big yard to run around. The location is perfect with only being a block from downtown and close to the beach. Highly recommend staying here!

Great Location

This place was perfect for our long weekend stay. There’s plenty of things to do and see in the area. There’s even a brew pub right across the yard from the house so no driving is required. The house has been recently renovated and was extremely clean.
