Birthday celebration for family member

It would be hard to find a more perfect location to enjoy Lake Superior in Grand Marais, MN. We had a constant view of the lake and lighthouse, and was conveniently located in the center of town, near restaurants, shopping and enjoying nature. We had a lovely stay and hope to return in the future!

Delightful, peaceful stay

We stayed with another couple at this cute VRBO during Grand Marais slow season in mid-April. The VRBO had all we needed, with a nice view of Lake Superior. The host, MaryKate, clearly and quickly communicated with us when we had questions. We would stay here again!

Nice house in a great location

The giant snow storm made it a little messy to get in and out of the house, but not much you could have done about that. We loved playing some of the board games and enjoyed a little TV too. Great view of the lake. The house worked great for us!

Cozy getaway

The property was easily accessible with convenient parking. The property was clean and had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to prepare several meals. MaryKate also provided some delicious locally roasted coffee that we really enjoyed. If you're looking for a quite, centrally located getaway in Grand Marais, this is a great option. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was everything we expected and the neighborhood was very nice. The best was being right on the harbor and being a short walk to the lake, shopping and restaurants.
