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.

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.

Home slept 4 adults comfortably. Be advised that one of the beds and bathrooms are in the basement: comfortable and spacious but best used by those who move easily on stairs. Loved the proximity to the shore, restaurants and shops

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!

Stones throw cottage

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.

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.

Great stay

The location was amazing! Very convenient with having a toddler that needed to nap, could easily walk anywhere into town and back. Didn't need to get in the car at all! The bed we slept in wasn't the most comfortable but other than that everything else was perfect! Highly recommend and we will be back!
