This is a charming place with a great kitchen and baths. The bedrooms are nice with great linens and cozy decor. There is a true cottage feel to the place. We loved the view of Lake Superior and the location was perfect. We walked to shops and restaurants. We also enoyed the walking path across the street.

Cute House (upstairs) and a great location! Close to all shops and has a pretty view of the harbor. This is not the place to stay if the weather is warm/hot. There were a couple of fans but one ceiling fan was broken. The room and bathroom downstairs is pretty old. Other than that it was a good stay.

Good location. Upstairs is lovely and cozy. Some basic maintenance needed: the toilet does not flush properly, light over sink needed, basement shower needs improvement. Musty smell downstairs.

Getsway on grand marais

Good location, clean. Well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the fireplace. View was not "panoramic " as blocked a bit by one large tree. Also the furniture and mattresses were quite worn and in need of replacement. Still had a great time.

"Stone Throw" Lake Cabin

Truth in advertising. :) Lake Superior is just outside its front door and coupled with the fact that you can walk to just about everything one does on a vacation -- shopping, eateries, breweries and the famous Lake Superior beaches. The Gunflint trail is just outside of town for a leisurely drive or exploring the backwoods on a guided fishing trip. Like to gamble? It's just 34 miles away in Grand Portage. You name it and it can be done. We had a great stay and will definitely plan a trip to come back soon. Thanks -- Kevin and Lori.

Beautiful cabin with lovely views of the harbor

I was here for funeral services for my partner. A couple of friends came with me and we chose this cabin as it was both beautiful and close to the places we needed to be. I really enjoyed how large it was the ceilings are so high, the kitchen was very nice all the bedrooms were clean and well put together. We didn't use the fireplace but having the seating area around it inside was just lovely. As well as the deck, we did not grill anything but there was the opportunity to do so on a very nice girl. I very much like the enclosed front porch with a comfortable couches that could alternate as beds. I feel like you could probably put 12 people in this place along with the finished basement with a full bed and two couches. I did feel like it was too big for us but I know in the advertisement it says you could put about 10 people there and that is accurate. The only reason I didn't give overall five stars is because of the hot water situation. I don't know if it was just that time or if that's a current thing there but I took the first shower of the trip and after about 10 minutes the water ran cold. So my friends waited till the next day to try their hand at it with similar results. We were okay since they weren't only three of us. But I think it would be difficult if you brought 10 to 12 people up there and your shower went cold after the first person didn't even take a full shower. Other than that it's secluded, with lovely views all around. I would stay again.

Great location

Pros: Great location and lovely view of harbor! House was clean and very nice, kitchen well stocked. Cons: Basement bed was very uncomfortable -that couple ended up sleeping on couches. The hot water was scalding! It was difficult to regulate both showers to a comfortable temperature. Just a FYI: This home is not handicap accessible -steps anyway to get in. Two members of our group in mid 70’s and one uses a walker. A railing at the front walkway street steps would have been very helpful. Grab bars in upstairs bath would have been really appreciated as one member in our party had to do sponge baths for safety. Overall we had a great stay here and would definitely recommend this home.

Best location in Grand Marais

The location and overall quality of this space more than made up for not having A/C. We were able to comfortably have 8 people in this house (4 adults, 4 kiddos) without feeling like we were in each other’s space. And, again, location, location, location!

Great Location

The location is great—walkable to everything in town—and it’s surprisingly quiet. The main floor is also great, with a lot of chairs and tables and deck space. The basement was a bit gloomy; it’d be perfect if you had a large party you wanted all together, and maybe all the kids could stay down there, but none of my friends or I wanted to. We instead used the front porch for one of the bedrooms, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable, though the front door didn’t lock. The only other thing we’d change was cleanliness; there was an old hairbrush on the floor when we checked in, hair ties on the floor in another room, and cobwebs on the inside of most windows.

Great location, not a great house

Great location with very close vicinity to all of grand marais. Everything was a short walk away and the view was nice. The house was not great. I am especially not impressed given the price of this rental. Our bed was uncomfortable and the frame was very noisy. The deck and general exterior of the home is in need of a refresh, it looks like it has not been maintained for a long time. There were spider webs everywhere, bird poop and dust on the glass, chipping paint, and the deck is in need of staining. The basement is very musty and the basement bathroom and bedroom were not appealing.

Enjoyable family time

House has lots of great spaces to spread out. We easily had room for 6 of us to eat together and play board games. Incredibly convenient for walking to anything in Grand Marais - we barely used our car. Kitchen was supplied with everything we could need.The basement was set up well for a teenager to have their own space.
