About this property

Just a hop, skip and a jump to the start of Grandma’s Marathon

Escape to the North Shore of Lake Superior. This small town cozy cottage getaway has everything you’ll need for a quiet retreat. We’re just 1.7 miles from the start of Grandma’s Marathon! Brew a cup of coffee and just sit back and relax or grab a beer at the local brewery downtown. This is the perfect spot to sneak away from your busy life. Hike, bike or kayak in the Waters of Lake Superior. Day trips up the shore to visit our State Parks will fill your trip with great family fun. This is where memories are made.

Host profile image
We are lifers here- born and raised, having never wanted to leave. We enjoy the 4 seasons and everything they bring (even the snow-Especially the snow) Quiet, safe living is what we have enjoyed. Two Harbors was the perfect spot to raise our family. We never tire of the beautiful big lake scenery and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We had the opportunity to buy this property in 2021. We have poured our hearts into this house for someone else to enjoy a stay here in Two Harbors.

What makes this property unique

This home is quiet, yet close to all the activities here in town. The farmers market, groceries and the beach are a short drive away. The neighborhood is full of kind and friendly people. Be part of a small community for a short time, you will love it.
