We had a wonderful stay here over Thanksgiving. The house is warm, cozy and immaculately clean. You cannot beat the location, walking distance to the harbor and downtown Grand Marais. A lovely "home away from home" and the ping pong table was enjoyed by all! Also this home is dog friendly which was essential for us. The heated floors were loved by us and our pup. We will definitely stay here again!

Warm and cozy place to unwind after our days spent at the North House Folk School! (Even during a cold spell with -30* outdoor temps and -61 wind chill). The kitchen is well-supplied with excellent quality cooking equipment, as is the game room with puzzles, books and games. Host communication was responsive and friendly. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the North Shore!

Everything was wonderful! Clean, amenities were plentiful, location was perfect. Ping-pong table a great addition to the place. Only complaint, the entry, step and walkway to back were not shoveled--at all. We stayed there in the past winter and they were cleared. Making it easier to walk our very old, small dog.Otherwise, 5 stars. Thank you!
