Grand Marais vacation rentals

WOW! We had a quick girls getaway to Lutsen for a ski trip. Ann & Kari's home is nothing short of incredible. The layout was great for the 4 of us, the location is private yet a short drive the ski resort, and designed perfectly. We loved the aesthetic and coziness of the house. We are already planning for a trip back!

This is a wonderful off grid get away. We did a winter trip and pulled sleds with skis. Brought in water, coffee, and food. Made fires in the stoves for heat, and had a couple great saunas with cold plunges in the lake. Everything required work which is what my group was looking for. Wood to split, fires to feed, and lanterns to see at night. Close enough to ski back to the car and head to Ely anytime we wanted. Would recommend for unplugging from the busy world. Still had cell service if needed, but we stayed on airplane mode for the most part.

We got married in Duluth and this is our 3rd time staying at Parkplace and we loved it! I asked if we could check in a little early and Daniel confirmed that would be fine. Our two dogs love the cozy cabin and being able to go on walks everyday on the trail along the beautiful Lake Superior. Parkplace will always have a special place in our hearts!

Such a cute location with a beautiful view! Great to wake up to the lake! Andrew was very accommodating and nice - very kind of him to stop by to personally drop off a toy for our little puppy friend! Would come back again!

Ivan was awesome! There was no surprises everything he said was spot on. Place was great. I will be definitely renting from Ivan again.

It was great. Small negative only: squishy double bed for those used to a firm king. Not a pick deal. Wish we had seen a bear; funny thing: can't control nature. The night sky was spectacular. Swam in the lake; it was hot weather and that was refreshing. If you can bring or rent a boat, do so. We shared a kayak, and had intended to rent, but didn't get around to it. We were also there a short time. Very well equipped place; you might want to bring on more large frypan. Loved the place.

Great Place. Eric is a great host!

We had a fantastic weekend at this cabin. It was fun to have access to the snowshoes for several outings onto the snow-covered lake. The fireplace kept us cozy. We loved watching birds at the feeders outside. Great collection of games and puzzles. Chrissie made great recommendations for hiking and restaurants. We’d love to visit again and highly recommend this place!

Three words: Cute, cozy and clean! This cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway with my partner. We were impressed with how clean and well-organized the home was, and appreciated the peace and quiet. Would definitely book again!

We were up in the Superior/Duluth area for cross country ski races at Spirt Mountain. Sara’s place is an easy drive and just 13 minutes from Spirit Mountain. We also enjoyed going to the indoor Miller Hill Mall in Duluth which is less than 20 minutes away. They are many great coffee shops and restaurants nearby too. We appreciated Sara’s place being pet friendly and enjoyed a dog park and paved walking trail just 5 mins from the house. Inside the house is comfortable, bright, and clean. Thanks for the great stay!

What a cozy place to stay! Great open floor plan. Not overly cluttered and felt roomy which I loved. Lots of room for your suitcase and toiletries. Quiet neighborhood. Everything was very clean. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much 💓

We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The place was so cute and cozy and was exceptionally clean! You’re close to great food and fun while also being one with nature! Jeremy and Sandra were great hosts and super helpful! Would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you!!

Aubrey was very responsive. My husband left his favorite shirt and Aubrey responded to his message immediately and said she would have his shirt sent to him. The house was in a perfect location, within walking distance to all the bar, shops and restaurants. It is a super cute and clean house and the fenced in backyard worked great for our dogs.

Great location for doing lots of activities in the area. The home was beautiful and had lots of accommodations for our group. It was nice having off-street parking as well as the option to pull vehicles into agarage, but just be warned the garage is a tad on the smaller side so those with larger pickups will need to be careful pulling in (we had a 3500HD due to picking up a vehicle transmission from a local shop), but still a nice addition. The bedrooms were set up for all our needs, including their own TVs, ceiling fans and floor fans, my husband was greatly appreciative of the floor fan. Would definitely recommend this for anyone staying in the area.

Perfect location and homey atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay here again.

This is the third time we have stayed at this house and we will continue to stay here once or twice a year. Amanda is a great host.

Gorgeous place, pretty backyard views, comfy beds, old records and a player, stunning kitchen, perfect temp, and bunnies out every window. We will stay again!

This was perfect for our girls weekend! The location was excellent. It’s just a few blocks from a great trail right on the water and just a few blocks from downtown shops and Castle Danger. The kitchen was well-stocked and beds were comfortable. The sauna was also a fun bonus after our morning walks. We will definitely stay again!

Rachel’s place is just a few minutes outside of Grand Marais. The location made it easy to explore Grand Portage, Grand Marais, and the Gunflint Trail. We loved the peace and natural environment surrounding the rental. Plus that view of the Big Lake! Inside the rental were all the amenities we would likely ever need! The kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies (pots, pans, coffee maker, etc). The living spaces had comfy furniture and streaming devices. We found the largest bedroom to have a comfy bed and great view. Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed the cute house so much. Very clean, nice beds, it had many thoughtful items for us such as extra kitchen items and blankets, tea and coffee, salt and pepper. Great location by the lake. We were there in early November and had great weather but still too chilly to use patio or grill. It would be great to be there in different weather to use outside stuff. Lots to do and easy to get around. Great stay all the way around. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scott’s place and it was as described. We loved the breathtaking views, stunning sunsets and the peaceful, quiet surroundings. The kitchen was lovely and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals while taking in the scenery. The space was bright, spacious, and comfortable, with radiant heating that made it feel extra cozy. Scott was an excellent host - he was super responsive and provided all the necessary information well in advance. We highly recommend this place and would love to stay again!

A lovely home overlooking Lake Superior with all the amenities you could want! Our family enjoyed the proximity to some trails, beaches and Castle Danger. Definitely would come back!

I’ve owned my share of older homes, so I’m aware of the quirks they acquire with age. For an older home with radiator heat, this house was always cozy in the thick of winter. During our stay we experienced an active noisy sump pump that appeared to be frozen as it exited the foundation. The handyman was dispatched to examine the problem, but I think a seasonal thaw was necessary before a fix was possible. The bathrooms are well appointed, beds comfy and the kitchen had enough versatile equipment to make our meals possible. Spacious areas on main floor and second floor to spread out if you are a large group. We used this rental as a base while we went snowshoeing on the Superior Hiking Trail and spent an afternoon dog-sledding. Great fun! A mandatory meal with refreshments at Castle Danger Brewery was enjoyed as well.

We loved our stay in Lutsen! 6 of us came up to ski in February and the house was less than 10 mins to the resort. The house was very nice and clean- we loved the fireplace, record player, and looking out over Lake Superior. Would definitely stay here again!
