We had a wonderful stay here over Thanksgiving. The house is warm, cozy and immaculately clean. You cannot beat the location, walking distance to the harbor and downtown Grand Marais. A lovely "home away from home" and the ping pong table was enjoyed by all! Also this home is dog friendly which was essential for us. The heated floors were loved by us and our pup. We will definitely stay here again!
Warm and cozy place to unwind after our days spent at the North House Folk School! (Even during a cold spell with -30* outdoor temps and -61 wind chill). The kitchen is well-supplied with excellent quality cooking equipment, as is the game room with puzzles, books and games. Host communication was responsive and friendly. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the North Shore!
My family had a great time here for our spring break in Grand Marais. House had everything we need, was an easy walk to town, and the kids loved the ping pong table!
This cabin is always the perfect place to stay while visiting Grand Marais. It's clean, has everything we need, comfortable, and feels like home. We can walk all over downtown easily from here. We love staying here.
Our family (2 Grandparents, 2 Parents, 2 kids (3y/o & 1y/o), and 2 dogs enjoyed our stay. Proximity to Grand Marais Downtown and inclusion of everything we needed was much appreciated!
Our second time staying at this location and it was yet again a fantastic stay. Location is great. House is set up well and very clean. Beds are comfy and the ping pong table keeps teenage boys entertained. Nancy is an excellent host and great communicator.
This is our second stay at "The Getaway" & we just love it. Our host is quick to respond & left us a nice welcome gift upon arrival. We love the cabin-like feel to this home in town. It is clean, has everything you need and is well organized for winter or summer. The entry area allows you to come in from the cold & snow & not drag it through the house. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable. We cooked most of our meals in the house & had everything we needed. It is well located with in walking distance to downtown bars, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries & shops. It is also right off the start of the GFT. We will be back as we love this area. We tried sledding with the grand kids this time, and that too is close by the house. I highly recommend this property.
Clean, very well stocked with towels and bed linens. Great furnishings! Nice big kitchen table. Close to town. We walked to the lake no problem! We would visit this again for sure!
The property is much more spacious than the pictures show. It’s cozy with great amenities. Walking distance to all Grand Marais has to offer. Would definitely book again if we come back to the area.
We had a wonderful time! We love Grand Marais in the winter. This is a great location to be able to walk to shops and restaurants, while still having easy access to trails. We love the large table for playing games and, of course, the ping pong table is always a hit! Highly recommend the Getaway!
Love it here! Appreciate a nice place that allows dogs. Wish we could have accommodated one extra guest but we understand it’s the rules!
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will be back.
This is a great property! It's spacious and comfortable and has all the "extras" that are needed for cooking, playing and keeping a busy family entertained. We hope to be back again sometime soon!
Property was very clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table, and a visiting kitty who checked on us every day. Nice outdoor spaces too, we had a bonfire one nite and it was very easy to do. Walkable to downtown and the harbor.
Even without snow - a first for us on our post-Christmas trip to Grand Marais - we had a fabulous time! The ping pong table remains a favorite, but we also love that the living area is big enough for games and puzzles! The short walk to Grand Marais makes wandering around town and out to the lighthouse a great way to get out and hit all our favorite eateries!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The property was even better than we imagined. Supplied with everything that my family needed and very clean. We gathered for some of our meals here and had plenty of room for other family members staying elsewhere. The location is perfect. The host had great communication and check-in was a breeze. We would highly recommend it to others. We cannot wait to come back!
My wife, our dog, and I all enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. When you want to rent some place where it checks all the boxes then go here. Clean, comfortable and with attention to detail - this place had it all. We especially loved having some entertaining games of ping pong! Our thanks to Nancy and Matt!!

Absolutely perfect. Super clean and welcoming, and totally cozy. Brought our 6 mo old and the white noise machines and high chair were great to have. Plus you'll make a buddy with Wilbert, the sweet local outdoor cat :)
Lots of room. Close to downtown and all the activities there. We were a little disappointed that the TV had no hookup to any cable network where we could see certain Olympic events. If it weren't for our grandson having a laptop along, we would have missed our favorite Olympic events.
