I had an amazing weekend in Grand Marais in this beautiful, modern home with a fantastic view of the entire harbor and the lighthouse. Home was well stocked, and even had some puzzles and games. Hosts were always easy to communicate with and even allowed me a late checkout. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the Skyhouse. The property was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay, and the space was comfortable and artsy. The beds were comfortable and we loved the views of the harbor and town from the upper level living room. We especially appreciated the fireplace and sauna during our cold winter weekend stay. This property is now on the top of my list for our next visit to Grand Marais!

The house is so well built. We had stunning views of a large formation of waxwings on and around the house. Great birdwatching right from the topmost floor windows and of course the great Great Lake just beyond.

Great location with beautiful views of Lake Superior from every room . Walking distance from shops and restaurants . Lots of amenities ,games .Wouldhighky recommend

This property set the bar to its highest level on style. So modern, simple and functional. Adding to that is that it is located in downtown Grand Marais, walkable to everything and close to multiple trails. Amenities were as described and hosts were beyond helpful and communicative. Already planning our next visit!

This was a gorgeous home with a breathtaking view. Also was able to bring our dog which was much appreciated. Wish we could have stayed longer.!!

We loved the property. Very clean. Views are spectacular and the location is perfect. You can walk to everything.

We loved staying here and it was such a convenient location to walk into town for meals or shopping. I also took my dog to the local dog park that Todd had recommended!

Really wonderful, unique, and charming location! Very clean with all the comforts of home. The rooms feel very private and almost no sound carries between levels. We brought our 2 year old and he is very cautious, but the space would probably be better for children who can be safe on stairs. The hosts have so many unique touches to the property and the skyhouse has an unparalled view of the harbor. Extremely convienient and walkable to all the restaurants and sights in town. Highly recommend.

This property was perfect for our visit to the north shore. Comfortably slept 4 adults and had every amenity we could have asked for. The views of the harbor were expansive. We will be planning a return trip!

We had a great time with Skyhouse being "home base" for our recent north shore adventures. Ease of access to all sorts of local gems, town-based and nature based.

We had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous property !!

Beautiful property with amazing views!

The stunning enormous windows which feature the lake are the main attraction. It was breathtakingly cold while we stayed - highs of minus 4 Fahrenheit - but the sun through the windows made our afternoon admiring the view warm and cozy. We can’t wait to stay again!

Just go.

Fantastic home, great location, super clean! Owners takes a lot of pride in their 3 properties and it shows! Highly recommended.

Beautiful location, relaxing and comfortable. Coffee on the deck overlooking the lake was the best!

Fantastic house. Great hosts. This is our second time staying at this house, and we'd stay again.

Really nothing but good stuff to say about this rental. It’s relatively new, super cool design and layout… AMAZING view of GM and the harbor, the pics do not lie, and super convenient. We did a little extra cleaning when arriving, but that’s more us, we do l that everywhere we stay. One of the bedroom comforters smelled a little stale. Luckily there is a full laundry room in the unit, so that was an easy fix. Easy walk into GM and restaurants, it also has an A/C that was definitely needed on a couple of days. Loved it, will stay again!!

Todd and Susan have a well-appointed home a block and a half from The Angry Trout or Java Moose? The home itself has all the creature comforts, many of which are unusual to find in a VRBO. Other than a seagull fledgling with protective parents, the stay could not have been better.

My family and I wanted take a trip up the North Shore and we were lucky enough to find this gem on VRBO. The house was cozy and perfectly situated in the middle of town with great views of the harbor and close proximity to the stores and restaurants. We brought our dog too so it was nice this property is pet friendly. Would definitely recommend to others!

Five stars. After coming back from a Superior trail hike we would just sit and take in the view. You are so close to the water you can watch the boats come in and out of the harbor. Three outside sitting areas to home, so no matter which way the wind was from, you could find a great spot. Attention to detail was apparent with the quality of the supplies and the contemporary scandinavian architecture and decor. One short block to downtown Grand Marais, restaurants, coffee and gift shops. We plan to return.

This was a great trip with amazing amenities and spectacular views... We will be back....

Situated in our VRBO perch, like an Eagles nest with 180 degree view of the Grand Marais harbor, we spent two enjoyable nights in this unique, impeccable, three level home. At a low tourism time, we made our way around good restaurants, the must see Trading Post and grabbed some smoked Salmon from Fisherman’s Daughter on our last stop on the way out of town. Fun visit.

This is rental has beautiful views, great walkability to the town, and a well-equipped kitchen. Be aware that there are a lot of steps in the house and that you will need to bring your own cord for the electric vehicle plug in. The owners live next door & were very responsive by text when we had questions.

Three friends used Sky House as a home base...one person in our group had never been to the north shore. This was a perfect location, spotless, amazing views. Todd was accessible and friendly. Love this place for an upscale north shore visit.

Grand Marais is a wonderful town and the Skyhouse is a beautiful property. It’s an amazing place to stay. We were two couples and an infant who slept in his “pack and play” in our room. Very comfortable for 4 adults. I think it would be less comfortable with 6 adults as two people would have to sleep in the living room/kitchen area. Overall, for our group it was absolutely amazing.

Amazing accommodations and hosts! Very clean, comfortable and the most amazing views of Lake Superior!

Nice views of the harbor and lake. Comfortable bed and spacious walk in shower. The upper floor is the star of the show with a nice kitchen, which we used extensively, and a small deck with seating for four. Dining in also provides great views, hence the title of the review. Not many properties in Grand Marais can claim this view over the city.

Truly serene and gorgeous space. Beautiful views and peaceful ambience. Loved the fireplace! CLEANEST vrbo/airbnb we've ever stayed at, too - made for a really relaxing weekend away! Absolutely loved it!!!!

The worst part about staying in a Salmela designed home is going home. It’s a bit of a transformative experience. It’s in the perfect setting of the beloved Grand Marais on top of it. Easy walking distance to everthing and the amenities are well appointed and comfortable. Todd and Susan have thought through everything and subtly share their passion for the area with lots of good info on hikes, shopping etc. We also appreciated how clean it was-especially in these covid times.

The property is wonderful and Todd and Susan are great hosts. They were in contact to make sure we had what we needed and also gave us some local info. There’s a bedroom with a bathroom on each of the first two floors and shared living/eating space on the top floor that has amazing views of Grand Marais, the harbor, Lake Superior and the whole area in general. The amenities are modern and comfortable. It was perfect for two couples and a dog. We walked by the harbor everyday and drove up the hill to Pincusion Mountain to XC ski and hike the Superior Hiking Trail. Our only note is that there are a lot of stairs. It was great for us, but if you have issues with stairs this isn’t the place for you. We highly recommend the Sky House and will stay again.
