Cozy getaway
The property was easily accessible with convenient parking. The property was clean and had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to prepare several meals. MaryKate also provided some delicious locally roasted coffee that we really enjoyed. If you're looking for a quite, centrally located getaway in Grand Marais, this is a great option. I would definitely stay here again!

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.

Perfect location to enjoy grand marais
The view from the comfortable living room was fantastic. We spent evenings around the fire pit. The home is compact, but fully appointed. We had everything we needed and loved the extra touches like the vase of fresh flowers. Plus it was close to everything with a great restaurant across the street.

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!
