About this property

Big Red a newly renovated 4 bedroom historic home in the heart of Grand Marais!

Your vacation will start off right in this beautifully renovated 1870’s historic home. It has a light and airy spacious feel throughout. Accents of the area will spark a desire to get out and explore all that Grand Marais has to offer. This home has one of the largest yards and indoor living areas. You are a short 1/2 block from the center of downtown and a 1 block walk to the bay and 2 blocks to Lake Superior. This home was just turned into a rental August 2018 so we’re very happy with our great reviews so far. We do change the feel between summer and winter seasons. There is ample parking for your trailers too. Welcome, your going to love your stay!

Perfect place for a family or large group, walking distance for everything in town. Owners are close by and available for any issues or questions. Second time staying here and will definitely book again. House is clean and well maintained and comfortable beds.

We had 6 adults and 1 child for our trip. There was plenty of space for all of us, never bumping into each other. The kitchen is roomy and well stocked. The eating area and living areas were comfortable. The house is less than 1 block from the main street, so it was a very short walk to the restaurants, shops and beach. I would highly recommend this property if visiting Grand Marais.

We loved Big Red! It was perfect for our family vacation. We had 7 adults and 1 baby, and we weren't crowded at all. We loved that we could all gather in the family room at the same time to watch movies and play games. Loved the huge kitchen table for family meals. It was close to everything. We walked everywhere we went. I will be renting from them again, and cannot wait for our next stay at Big Red!

Great Location

This place was perfect for our long weekend stay. There’s plenty of things to do and see in the area. There’s even a brew pub right across the yard from the house so no driving is required. The house has been recently renovated and was extremely clean.

Excellent house!

We had a great stay at the Big Red house. It was very clean and welcoming. We traveled with 3 young children and it’s a child friendly house with toys for them to play with and a big yard to run around. The location is perfect with only being a block from downtown and close to the beach. Highly recommend staying here!

Great Family Getaway

Big Red was immaculate. Rich has done an excellent job getting the home ready for renters. There was plenty of space for our family to stretch out. Also had a nice variety of spices in the kitchen. I highly recommend and look forward to future stays.

Great stay at Big Red

We've been to GM many times since the 70's and have stayed in several rentals. Big Red was great--perfect location in town, great kitchen, sleep # beds, clean, spacious for 5 adults, Roku tv, easy and prompt communication with the owners. Highly recommended, and we would stay again.
