"My husband and I just got back from a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Rick and Chip Storlie's vacation home. Not only does it have beautiful views of Lake Superior, but it is close enough to the lake for falling asleep while listening to the waves crashing against the shoreline. The home was very clean with a well equipped kitchen if you want to prepare your own meals. (Our one tiny complaint was that none of the knives were very sharp, so it's easy to slip and cut yourself. You might want to bring your own sharp knife or a knife sharpener.) This home is only a short drive away from many wonderful hiking trails, which we took advantage of. We also had some lovely meals at restaurants in Grand Marais. Don't stay so busy, however, that you run out of time to just relax and enjoy the views from the large windows and two decks at the home. Every evening we would sit out on the deck with our son and daughter-in-love and talk about how lovely the view was while enjoying a glass of wine. We would watch the stars come out and have fun looking at the different constellations. One evening we even had an amazing time watching a lightening show over the lake...something we will always remember and talk about. This home was plenty big for all four of us to spread out, if we wanted some quiet time and needed our own space for awhile. We also appreciate the fact that our puppy could vacation with us. We kept her on a leash at all times in the house and crated her if we left her alone. Having a vacation home owner that supports people who want to travel with their dog and trusts them to make sure nothing is ruined in this beautiful home is quite special."
