This location is perfect for getting anywhere in the town. So close to all of the food trucks that are now serving the community. Thank you

Great in Town Location
Came up for 4 nights with my family to hike and enjoy the town. Place was great for us and loft was really helpful for having an extra bed. No AC needed with how close to the lake it was, but one window was missing a screen, so lots of mosquitoes got in before we noticed. We use this place again.

Comfortable and Convenient
Overall, we had a good stay. We were within walking distance to all shops and restaurants which was fantastic. The home was very clean and had a great view of the lake. The checkout time changed somehow and was 10 instead of 11 as it says in the listing, so we had to rush a little bit more than we would have preferred in the morning. Someone also tried to come in at 9:45 while we were still packing up, so we felt even more rushed and a little less safe, to be honest. It would also be nice if there would have been extra toiletries provided as the hand soap in the bathroom had only about a millimeter of soap left in it when we arrived and there were no extras or refills. We wound up having to get our own. We also weren’t aware we’d have to bring home our own garbage, so that would have been nice to know beforehand. None of these things ruined our weekend, though, and the home really was very nice and comfortable otherwise.

Family Fun Stay
We had a great week staying here in Grand Marais. Great location, a block back from the main road, and roughly behind the taco place. House looks as the pictures show. The whole apartment is on the second floor. The internal stairs lead up to a small loft with a twin bed in it. My daughter's liked reading books up there. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Grand Marais if it's available.

Terrible communication, poor plumbing
Poor communication with property manager regarding additional fees after our stay. The property manager and myself agreed on an amount of $$ for cosmetic damages done to the toilet. He did not stand by that agreement, and charged more than our agreed amount. He cut off all contact after he did so. We experienced poor plumbing with the toilet. We had to walk to the public restroom throughout our stay. Be prepared to bring your own dish-ware if you have a group larger than 4. The location is great, but it is not worth the risk of being taken advantage of by the manager and walking to the public restroom down the street to use their toilet.

Clean, cozy great location in Grand Marais
A great spot to come back to after a full day of hiking on the North Shore. Super clean and for the three of us, plenty of space. Very quiet at night and easy walking to downtown and Artist's Point. Ben was extremely friendly to work with and very quick to respond to questions.

Bear included in price
Perfect for our 2 night getaway. The beds were comfortable and the property had most everything we needed including a bear in the tree in the backyard for our entertainment. Convenient to downtown area but very quiet place. Only suggestion would be some hot pads for the oven, a dishrag for the sink and more than 2 washcloths for 4 of us. Also for the price we paid I feel like we shouldn't have had to take our garbage home with us.

Perfect Location
Great place to relax after a long day of hiking. We cooked our own dinners as we brought a small grill to use in the yard. Easy walk to all the shops and Artist Point. Quiet and lots of windows- view of Lake Superior.

Travelled with family
We enjoyed our stay- convenient walking distance to businesses and attractions. Good level of amenities and space. The bad is that the master bed was very much sagging and it felt like sleeping on a hammock, and the loft was really for young kids only. Parking was easy and convenient. We would stay again here but might bring a blow up mattress instead of sleeping in master bed

Great place to walk Grand Marais
We wanted a place within walking distance of Grand Marais as well as a base to see the larger region. This place fit the bill nicely! We had to call the property manager to address a small issue and he responded immediately — which I think is an important point to note. Overall it was a good experience!

Perfect for us
This home is a great base camp for any activities in the area. We had plenty of space to rest and stretch out after miles of hiking each day. It is surprisingly lovely on the inside compared to the outside, and very comfy, quiet (except for seagulls!), clean and new.

July in Grand Marais
We loved the location to get to Judge Magny Park for hiking to the falls. Yummy food in town and we were able to do some shopping. We enjoyed relaxing listening to the gulls . (Grocery store and gas station right down the street, too!) Thanks for a very enjoyable trip!

Spacious, with beautiful views of Lake Superior
This home was very clean, spacious, & has several views of Lake superior, which is just blocks away. The floors in the common areas have large, rustic tiles, which were all very clean. The bedrooms have carpet, again, clean! The master bedroom has a spacious closet. The mattress in the master bedroom seemed a bit on the soft side, but my husband and I both found it comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. We parked on street, directly in front of our unit. The bathroom is very large, clean, and well furnished, with plenty of drawers and surfaces to store our stuff. There are some sloping parts of the ceiling in the bathroom, that I thought might be an issue for a very tall person. My husband is 5’ 10” & it was not an issue for him. Lots of counter space in the kitchen, and plenty of cabinets to store our groceries. There was a good supply of pots and pans. The refrigerator was also clean! We opted to use our own bags for garbage to avoid the $8 per bag charge for garbage left behind.

Great location; comfortable accommodations
Beautifully renovated and comfortable 2-bedroom home/apartment unit; new appliances. Just 2 blocks from downtown Grand Marais, which was perfect for participating in all the summer activities. There is an upstairs loft that would accommodate an airbed. Only downside is just one bathroom. Would definitely stay here again.
