Pebble Beach on Lake Superior
Beautiful, peaceful cabin right on the water! Perfect for families looking to get away!

The Ferny Fern: Off-grid cabin and sauna near G.M.
I felt immediately at home the moment I set foot in Ferny Fern! The cabin is unbelievably cozy and has everything you need to feel right at home. It got rather cold in the evenings, but the wood-burning stove in the cabin kept things toasty warm! I appreciated how the cabins on the property are spaced out--giving you a true sense of peace and privacy. I've seen some other reviews complaining about the cleaning required as part of checkout, but I found these requests to be very reasonable and typical of cabin culture in Minnesota, with all expectations laid out clearly when you reserve.

Harbor Studio @ Northern Goods
Communication with the hosts was smooth and fast before and during the stay. The studio was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the patio area, and reading by the fireplace in the evenings. It was so nice to relax on the lakeshore, and it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops nearby. I would def stay here again!

NEW! Raven Sky Yurt
I've always wanted to stay in a yurt and it was amazing to be in such a beautifully crafted space! I was amazed at the loving attention to detail--from handmade brooms, to kitchen space, to window ledge (and sewing machine as bed desk!) Marybeth and Caleb also offered super useful tips on local sites and hikes. We had an amazing two days in the North Woods. (We were also lucky to avoid the bugs.)

Hummingbird Nest - Feather Nest Inn
Perfect stay! Super short walk to North House Folk School and everything else in town. We were very comfortable, as were our two cats! We loved all the thoughtful, local touches throughout the space. Will definitely stay again next time we visit!

Private Shoreline on Lake Superior
What a wonderful spot to unplug from the world.

Mökki Birdhouse, Downtown & Harbor View
Very cozy and clean. Owners were really accommodating and responsive. Would definitely stay again. The bed and tub were definitely highlights for me. Very peaceful place to get away.

The Burrow on Tucker Lake - Gunflint Trail
In the words of my cabin-particular husband, This Is Right. The Burrow is perfect. It is very apparent that Don and Casey take joy in hosting and have thoughtfully designed their rental. It’s so private and feels remote (the birds you’ll hear!) but it’s just a short drive to great food and even more amazing views. Please check this one out!

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.
