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!

The Wandering Moose -Cabin Getaway, with Sauna!
Beautiful!!! So, so peaceful!! Seriously, it was soooo quiet.... Great place to recharge!

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
this is a very nice place to stay. right off the lake. it's right outside of town.

Unique Lake Superior Guest Vacation Space
Only 20 minutes north of Duluth, private views of Lake Superior. Can't beat it!

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

Mökki Kadunce River Cabin
Truly lovely. Great escape.

Cozy Lake Superior cottage with a private beach!
Great stay! Loved the location next to the water and that we could bring our dog. The road that the house is on is quiet and we could walk the dog. Beds were comfy and the place is very cozy with a fireplace.

Birch House | Cozy 3BR in Babbitt, MN
Nicole and Steffan are great hosts. Very communicative! The house is very cozy and felt like home to us for several weeks.

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!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to others! It was conveniently located to Duluth where we were visiting for a wedding. The entire house was clean and we were so thankful to be able to bring our pup along with us. Thanks for everything!

The Treasure House- Near Duluth & Pet Friendly!
This was our second time staying here. we were up visiting family to celebrate my son's 5th birthday. i had mentioned this to the host and when we arrived they had a birthday banner on the table and a couple of balloons. that was very nice and my son was excited to see it. The house is spacious enough for us and to have friends and family over. I like the private parking in the back that makes loading and unloading easy. the washer and dryer come in handy. we had a small problem with the refrigerator going out but the host was responsive and told me there was a gfi behind the refrigerator. that's all it was. a tripped gfi, easy to correct. we had a small group of family over to celebrate my son's birthday and it worked out great. we will definitely look for this house again the next time we are up in Superior.

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.

Lakewalk House at Lake Superior Brewing Brewtel

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!

Lake View, Outdoor Pizza Oven, Deck Dome, Spacious
We loved our stay at All Decked Out! The location was beautiful and private. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating for our group. Everything was clean. The pizza oven was a nice addition. We enjoyed some time in Grand Marais and hiked some nearby trails. We would definitely stay there again!

Stunning Bark Point Home on Superior's South Shore
We loved our stay! It can be hard to find an airbnb that lives up to its promises. We were so relieved to find that Scott's place did. The quiet, the view, and the gorgeous interior allowed us to actually relax. We'd definitely stay again.

Burlington Bay Getaway
Beautiful and peaceful place made for a great vacation. I would definitely return and also recommend this place to family and friends or anyone looking for a peaceful and lovely getaway to the North Shore!

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.

Private Beach Haven with Large Lakehouse
We had a great time celebrating an 80th birthday party at Eileen's home. This property is right on the water, which is very appealing. The Bay is peaceful and serene. We would bring our kayaks along if we stay again (boat landing near by). The steps to get to the water were a bit difficult for our older family members to navigate. We loved the flat greenspace for playing outdoor games. Handy to have on site laundry and open concept kitchen/ dining/ living room. The loft area is open to the kitchen, so not the best area for light sleepers or late rizers:) Loved our time there, it's a special place!!

Cedar Cove on Lake Superior
We loved our stay and when we walked in, our immediate thought was the place is better than the pictures show!! Angela was very responsive and allowed us early check in and late out when there was no one on either side of our stay. We appreciated it so much and had a lovely mother's getaway.

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.
