Awesome Place!
This home was amazing! It was super clean and well stocked with quality furnishings, kitchen items and artwork. It was great to have a 24/7 view of Lake Superior and the harbor. We were within walking distance to everything in Grand Marais. We had a great stay!

Perfect!
Ok, some of the perfection was 2 days of sunny 60+ degree weather in mid October. If you like being within walking distance but in your own building (there is a renter or someone on the other side, but only heard when leaving out the front door), then this place is it. If you like the view out on the lake, the sunrise view from the big front window and the comfort of the couch, chairs and beds, then this place is it. If you like the huge fire pit and delicious steaks cooked on it as well as the smoked fish house within view, then this is the place. My wife and I as well as another couple stayed. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see that you have to walk through 1 room to get to the other. But the bathroom with doors to the bathroom as well as between the rooms make the inconvenience of that very minimal. Will stay there again.

Perfect location to enjoy grand marais
The view from the comfortable living room was fantastic. We spent evenings around the fire pit. The home is compact, but fully appointed. We had everything we needed and loved the extra touches like the vase of fresh flowers. Plus it was close to everything with a great restaurant across the street.

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.

Great place to stay in Grand Marais
We really enjoyed our stay here. It has a great view of the harbor and everything in Grand Marais is in within easy walking distance. The house was clean and was beautifully decorated. There were plenty of towels and robes (which were a nice touch). Beds were comfortable. The living room is spacious has a lot of comfortable seating to enjoy views of the harbor while sipping coffee or reading a book. There is a nice fire pit which the host had ready for us upon arrival. We had an issue with one of the automatic blinds upon our arrival which they addressed and fixed immediately. The only reason I have gave it 4 and not 5 stars is because the house is right on 61 and certain times of the day the traffic was noisy, It gets quiet after 10pm and gets busy after 8am. That said it is a very nice place to stay and if a little traffic noise doesn't bother you I would recommend staying here. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

Idyllic Location, View and Stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at this super well-appointed, designed and laid out home. Our family makes an annual trip up to Grand Marais and we spent 5 nights there. Waking up and opening the blinds to the beautiful view of the harbor and lighthouses was one of the highlights of my trip this year. This place is very comfy and provides you with everything you need for your stay. And yes, location is perfect! Short block walk from downtown shops and restaurants. Host was welcoming and accommodating. Loved it!

This place is so cute, clean and the perfect location in Grand Marais. It had everything our family of four needed for a long weekend. It is walking distance to all of the great restaurants and shops in town and a short drive to beautiful hikes. We highly recommend this gem of a place. Thank you so much!

Ideal Location & Great Layout
We were in town with our extended family and this VRBO was wonderful. We were able to set up the back bedroom for our 6mnth old to sleep/nap in while back to relax in the front living room or outside by the fire. We were also able to host our extended family over for some smores and hot dogs over the camp fire. The location is right on the edge of the commercial district and has the same ease of getting around as anywhere else in town. We also got to meet MaryKate when checking in which was a nice touch to learn a little bit more about the accommodations and whom we were renting from. Traffic noise was an initial concern but was a complete non-issue. Would stay here again without any hesitation!

Best Place in Grand Marais
You open up the blinds and Grand Marais Harbor and Lake Superior are right there in all their glory. What a way to start the day! This place is charming and very well decorated. You have two great restaurants across the street and downtown is easy walking distance. MaryKate is a friendly and attentive host and a lot of fun to visit with. No place better for your stay in beautiful Grand Marais.

Excellent accomodations
We arrived later than we intended due to road conditions, but immediately settled in. The place was immaculate, well appointed and very comfortable. There was a fresh pack of Fika coffee and a bottle of sparkling water which were both very much appreciated. The location is fabulous. I spent a lot of time in the chair by the front window breathing in the aroma a lilac bush right by the window and watching the sailboats in the harbor. I have mobility issues so didn't leave the premises very often (seven steps to get into the apartment), but my daughter walked all over town. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a walk across the street to our favorite eating place, The Angry Trout. Would love to stay here again.
