Light-filled Lake House Nestled in the North Woods
Ann and Cheryl were exceptional hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time in spite of blizzard in April! The house is amazing and the surroundings are beautiful. I would highly recommend. We will be back!

Island Lake Getaway (1 - 10 guests welcomed)
Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The house was perfect for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 teenagers). We especially enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, frisbee, and the chess table.

Bungalow (House) on Chequamegon Bay.
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!

Rustic Log Cabins on BWCA Wilderness Lake!
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.

Cozy Parkplace Cabin
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!

Little Red cabin on the lake
Great Place. Eric is a great host!

Seize the Good Life at Lakefront Cabin
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!

Mökki Kadunce River Cabin
Truly lovely. Great escape.

Cozy North Shore Cottage
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!

Bright & Renovated- Only 6 mi from Duluth!
The place was clean and spacious. There were nice touches like snacks, bottled water, hot chocolate, dog treats, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotions. In the master bedroom there were books. We especially enjoyed the one on gratitude. Just a short drive to Duluth and pet friendly. An overall great place to stay.

Retreat to The Woods- 10 miles from downtown
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!!

Adorable, tiny 2 bdrm cottage in downtown Ely
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.

4 beds, up to 7, full kitchen, living rm, driveway
Perfect location and homey atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay here again.

★Lake Superior Style★7 miles to Canal Park!★
Airbnb was perfect for what we needed for the weekend and Trisha was super helpful and responsive.

Agate Bay Getaway | Easy walk to Lake Superior
Our group had plenty of space and comfortable arrangements to make ourselves at home. Centrally location in Two Harbors allowed us to walk around town and access everything conveniently and quickly.

The Black Spruce (No Cleaning Fee! Access Trails!)
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.

Lakefront home Shagawa Lake
We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful home! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The kids had a blast making s'mores by the firepit and spending time with their cousins. The host was quick to respond and kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to make family memories.

Trail, Deck, and Bay Views! Cozy Fireplace!
Spent a few days and wished it was longer! loves the view and bunnies on the hill each morning, the path was great for a stroll, the tub and shower AMAZING. Jenn also provided a pack an play for my baby. cozy house I'd definitely want to visit again. Thank you!

The Lazy Loon: Backyard+Walkable+Sauna+4BR
Great little house. Had all the amenities we needed. Restaurants, shopping, brewery all super close. The scenery around the area was beautiful.

Lake Gogebic Rental Home
The perfect place for our group. Check in was super simple. We were ahead of schedule so Casey let us check in early, which was greatly appreciated. Very close to the lake, Antonio’s, and gas. Perfect for our sled group big area to park trailers as well. Will more than likely be staying here again.

Lake View, Outdoor Pizza Oven, Deck Dome, Spacious
My two adult sons and I had a great mid-week stay. We skied for one day at Lutsen and did some hiking. All Decked Out was a perfect place to decompress and relax. Big dining room table for games and the fully equipped kitchen lets us do a couple of meals on our own. Each had our own bedrooms! The mid-week price was quite a bit cheaper than Chateau Leveaux and some of the other usual options.

Stunning Bark Point Home on Superior's South Shore
loved staying at this absolute haven with my pup! no matter what the weather it was so peaceful, cozy, and bright. All of the artwork and lighting is very beautiful and listening to the waves on superior was so peaceful. I will definitely be back again.

Viewpoint in Lutsen
Four good friends had an absolutely fabulous time at Viewpoint. We loved just looking out at the lake, each day was different - grey and windy, beautiful sunshine and calm and a bit in between. All magical. We had fun cooking together in the very well appointed kitchen and had great fires each night. We thought we might be snowshoeing - but no snow changed our plans - hiked at Tettegouche, walked the bike trail conveniently right across the road!! Enjoyed a wonderful sauna at Sisu + Loyly in Grand Marais - highly recommend! All in all a wonderful mini retreat. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

Amazing views, a huge deck & a gorgeous house.
Great place to stay with awesome views. We snowmobiled there and it was easy great access to the trails and lake. Hosts were very kind and checking to see if we needed anything. Would highly recommend staying at this place.

Your guide to Grand Marais
All About Grand Marais
Situated on the north shore of Lake Superior, less than an hour from the Canadian border, Grand Marais is a small harbor village teeming with natural beauty, rugged landscapes, and a vibrant local art scene. Abundant in hiking and mountain biking trails, Grand Marais is a hub for outdoor recreation in northern Minnesota. The Superior Hiking Trail, The Grand Portage State Forest, Judge C.R. Magney State Park, and Pincushion Mountain Trail Systems are just a few spots sprawled throughout the area, offering exciting ways to take in the dense forests of pine, fir, and spruce trees, spectacular waterfalls, rocky ridges, and sweeping views of Lake Superior’s vast, open waters.
Just north of Artist’s Point, you’ll find a handful of galleries, studios, and shops buzzing with creativity inspired by the rich natural landscape and featuring the work of local artists and artisans. You’ll also find seafood restaurants along the harbor serving locally caught fish, including whitefish, trout, bluefin herring, and Canadian walleye.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Grand Marais
The spring and summer months in Grand Marais boast idyllic conditions for enjoying outdoor recreation, including hiking, biking, and swimming in Lake Superior. In fall, the vibrant shades of gold, crimson, and orange adorn the Superior National Forest, and foliage sprawls throughout the harbor village. Scenic drives through the county are one of the best ways to take in the rich autumn colors. In September, Grand Marais hosts the annual Plein Air Grand Marais festival, which beckons hundreds of artists from around the country to compete and participate in outdoor painting.
If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing Northern lights, they most frequently appear in the late fall and winter. During the winter season, stunning frozen waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, and icy lakes serve as the backdrop to skiing, ice fishing, and snowshoeing.
Top things to do in Grand Marais
Artist’s Point
Featuring rugged shorelines, tide pools, dramatic rock formations, and waters dazzling in shades of blue and green, Artist’s Point offers spectacular views of Lake Superior. The peninsula earned its name from painters who set up their easels amid the rock formations and painted the breathtaking landscape. A short trail leads to the Grand Marais Lighthouse.
Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery
The Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery, run by the Cook County Historical Society, is housed in a replica of the original Johnson Trading Post and features a range of art from local, regional, and national artists in revolving exhibits in addition to a permanent collection.
Devil’s Kettle
The unusual Devil’s Kettle waterfall has long perplexed onlookers. The Brule River, which splits into two, creates a unique effect where one half of the water drops 50 feet before continuing downstream, while the other half empties into a large pothole — known as the Devil’s Kettle — and seemingly disappears underground. To reach the waterfall, you can follow the Devil’s Kettle Hiking Trail, which meanders through spruce and birch tree forests and leads to a bridge that stretches across the rapids of the Brule River.
