We came for the beaches, nearby waterfall and lighthouse. We traveled with a dog and liked the quiet neighborhood for walking, and the welcoming feel from shop owners.

Great location

We stayed for only one night to take in the evening on the beach and day in Grand Marais. The proximity to town was great and the area was very quiet. It was a great place to stay and will certainly book for a wintertime snowmobile trip.

Pictured Rocks Home Base

Nice little house...good location east of Pictured Rocks. Really private backyard with woods and fire pit was a nice bonus. But not too far that you feel like your out in the sticks, since Grand Marais is a short drive down the hill. The house has everything we needed. Kitchen is well stocked with all tools. Interestingly the internet didn't work well at all the first night. It wouldn't have been a big deal but we were trying to plan for the next day at Pictured Rocks. But by the next morning, everything was blazing fast and we were able to plan our day.

Great place to lay our heads

The property was good. We found it easily. The rooms were just as expected. We did have a problem with bugs - not sure if that is usual. Also, the toilet seemed to be working due to a paperclip? Then it stopped working. All in all, it was a great place to stay.
