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 welcome by owner, prompt response when had a question. Easy walking distance to downtown shops and places to eat. Easy driving distance to many sites. Enjoyed our stay. Was mentioned that it would be nice to have a bar in shower

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.

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!

Nicely appointed cottage. MaryKate provided some charming extras...robes, flowers, sparkling water and firewood for outdoor fire pit. Cottage is a short walk from downtown and right across street from nice restaurants. Bonus was access to lovely bike/walking path..the Gitchi-Gami trail ...right out front door! We will stay here again on our next visit to the North Shore! from An

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!

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!

We enjoyed everything about this property. It was very comfortable, spotless, and well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. It was perfectly located so that we could walk anywhere we wished around town and the harbor. Mary Kate is an excellent host and we would stay here again.

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.

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.

My brothers and I started a yearly tradition on doing a brother’s trip. This year we decided to stay in Grand Marais - and I saw this listing and I knew I had to book it asap! MaryKate is a phenomenal host - she walked us through the amazing property and was very responsive via VRBO messenger. I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone! It’s absolutely gorgeous and you are so close to everything!

Everything about this home is perfect! The accommodations are very comfortable. Everything we needed was there, including bathrobes! The location can’t be beat - blocks to downtown, across the street from Angry Trout Cafe, Java Moose and North House Folk School. And, the view of the lake, stunning! This place is a 10.

This is the perfect cozy little house for a getaway to Grand Marais. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. Everything was very clean and the host was very responsive to any questions or requests. The Fika coffee by the coffee pot was the perfect finishing touch.

We had a wonderful stay. Knowing that the temperatures would dip below zero, our host put flannel sheets on the beds. This rental was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. Too cold for a fire this time but next time I would love to sit by the fire and enjoy the beautiful view!

My son and I enjoyed were impressed by how clean the apartment was and the location was perfect. My son took a class at the North House Folks School which was only a block away and I explored Grand Marais and hiking in the area. Being able to walk around Grand Marais from the apartment was very convenient.

Wow! Talk about attention to detail! Such a wonderful home...very comfortable and nicely decorated! The host thought of everything....special local coffee, I am a tea drinker and there was an electric hot water kettle....close to town...easy access to shopping and the gun flint trail. Our host even set up a fire for us! Incredible views! Will definitely be back!

My wife and I have been going to Grand Marais annually now for the past six years. This year, we found this property right on HWY 61. Location is ideal! Less than a five minute walk to most GM locations. It was nice to be within walking distance of all our favorite spots, instead of staying in a bigger place outside of town. We missed having a dishwasher and a washer and dryer, but it was a good trade to stay in this location. We will definitely consider staying here again!

I was traveling with 3 of my sisters and this couldn't have been a more perfect house. MaryKate greeted us at check in and made us feel at home. The house was charming, clean and had everything you could need in a home away from home. Great location to walk to restaurants, shops and explore Grand Marais. We also enjoyed an evening around the fire pit outside. An easy drive to nearby trails and local sights. Would highly recommend staying and I hope to be back again someday.

We loved our stay at this home. We stayed in Gran Marais and drove up to the Canadian border for day trips. It is centrally located, and you can walk to restaurants, a brewery, and craft studios. The view out the front windows is magical with the lighthouse, Lake Superior and seagulls. The host left us supplies for a campfire. Recommend this home and hosts.

Thanks for a great stay! The property was clean and very homey. There were lots of little thoughtful items that make life easier when on vacation...water, coffee, ice in freezer, and fans, to just name a few. We will be back!
