Beautiful Design!

The best rental I’ve ever stayed in. Well appointed and even more beautiful than the photos. Three blocks from the Grand Marais beach. Very close to restaurants and shops. Anyone who cares about good design will appreciate the details in this house. I can’t wait to return to The House of Light!

Solo getaway

I decided to take a few days to myself and found this little gem last minute. I've used a lot of VRBO's, but this one really exceeded my expectations. The cleanest place I've ever seen by far. I don't know how new it is, but it actually smells new. Well decorated. The space is super cozy, tons of windows. Close to downtown, so I walked everywhere. And really quiet at night. It would be nice if there was a grill....I didn't see one. Grand Marais is so small that some restaurants are randomly closed certain nights, so I likely would have grilled out if there was a grill. But otherwise, they have everything you need. I appreciate they have most of the essentials already. But do pick up some coffee! When it came time to leave, I was actually sad. I could have stayed another week easy. I will 100% be back.

Beautiful property in the heart of Grand Marais

This was one of the best VRBO stays we’ve had. The house was clean, conveniently located, and beautiful! The fireplace was wonderfully cozy. It had all the amenities we needed including a washer and dryer. The only negative was the gas stove cooks really hot and we had to adjust for that. We’re used to cooking with gas at home so it wasn’t us! All told, we had a great stay!

Beautiful house and perfect location

The house of light was as promised. It was bright, airy and modern. The house had everything we needed for a long weekend stay in Grand Marais and the location in proximity to shops, coffee and the water was just right. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Loved the light house

We really enjoyed the light house and it was better than expected. The amenities, the space, the privacy was wonderful. We look forward to the additional space that will be made when the back building is completed. We will rent again and bring additional family members. The garbage is a little inconvenient but we made it work. Overall, this is incredible property.

Nice property and location

Great location within walking distance of everything. Newer construction home that is artfully placed on a narrow lot so that it takes advantage of natural light while still feeling secluded. Two desk areas that feel like wasted space if you are vacationing but would be great if you wanted to spend a week or two working remotely from an idyllic location. Stayed during high season and Covid so felt kind of expensive considering we had to provide our own linens and pack out our garbage but seems like a steal in the off season.
