The location could not have been better. Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Cute, well-cared for home. If anything, I would have preferred mattress and pillow upgrades.

A lovely and convenient cottage!

This cottage was absolutely perfect for my husband and me. It is so convenient - easy walking distance from the beach and the stores. We were able to go Yooperlite hunting until the wee hours of the morning, then make the short walk back to a warm, comfortable bed. We also really enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings after a day of hiking around Sable Falls. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Location and Clean

This house is located in downtown Grand Marais, one block from all the shopping and restaurants, walking distance to the lake. Everything was VERY clean!! In fact, it was immaculate. That's so important. Hats off to your cleaning team!

Close to beach. Great location! House was very unique, cozy and suitable for our one night stay. Probably wouldn't stay longer. The front door was broken. Windows do not open. Very cute all in all, but not what i was expecting when i saw 5 star reviews. I'd give it a 3.

Unsafe

Two unmarked trip hazards flooring. Electrical seems out of code. Washing machine drains in washtub which is slow to drain. I was afraid it would overflow. It didn't buti had a small load. I paid 100 cleaning fee for two days and two people and was asked to start laundry, put trash in the outside garbage and wash all dishes etx. I used two glasses.and a spoon. Felt like we were being penalized for groups who leave a huge mess. We didn't. It was clean, nice location. We liked the coffee shop around the corner and Lake Superior Brewing. Do not recommend this place, I am sad to say.

Very cute house with a great location

The home was perfect for our mini UP getaway. The addition / main bedroom was where my husband and I spent most of our time hanging out. It also smelled fresh and nice like new wood. The rest of the house was quite musty smelling, which is to be expected with an older seasonal cabin, but it should be noted because some folks with allergies may experience a reaction (our kiddo did). Luckily the weather was unseasonably warm so we opened the windows. The porch was also a great place to relax outside after a walk to the beach for the sunset and dinner in town. Overall a great value, especially considering we could have invited another family and still had plenty of room.

Great location but

Location was great. We could walk to the beach (one sandy one and one more for rock collecting). We even used firewood and lit a fire on the beach! Easy walk to get dinner/lunch/snacks. The house was clean-bathroom was nice. The house is clearly quite old as the floors are not level and you feel a little tipsy walking around even when you haven't had anything to drink. It was quite warm and humid during our stay. The windows are very old and don't have screens so we were unable to open any windows except the front door and the windows in one bedroom. It was very warm in the sleeping area by the bathroom (days temps in the 80's) and there really wasn't anyway to cool it down for sleeping. We could hear critters running through the ceiling at night-didn't see any in the house or have any evidence of them in the house, but certainly could hear them. There is a porch in the backyard that was a wonderful place to gather and chat about the day/makes plans for the next day.

Very Disappointed

Property manager almost impossible to contact. Googled the address of Lake Superior Vacation Rentals and found it was a local motel, so called there. The clerks were very helpful and once Leslie called me back prior to arriving and resolved my issue. Upon arriving we discovered there were no clothes bars in the sleeping areas. Just one tiny one in the coat closet across from the front door. This place advertises up to 8 guests and there was this one tiny bar available. We were 4 adults. Safety is an issue with this property as well. There are no grab bars to assist in getting in our out of the tub. The tub floor is very sippery with no safety strips. The floors going down the hall and in the bedroom with 2 double beds wanders off level and when it changes height in the hallway there's no indication! No warning colored tape and since you're going a little downhill, it's even worse. No night lights for finding your way during the night. No mirrors except in the bathroom. One over the kitchen sink would reflect light in that darker area and provide a dressing area to take the load off the one and only bathroom. Several towels and washclothes are getting old looking. The TV works great! The furnishings are pretty old and shabby, but clean. The location is perfect, but we expected the above items to be a standard part of any short term rental.

Great location right in town, walk to pier 5 minutes. Walk to food and shopping 1 minute. Older home but lots of room. Wi-Fi works but iffy, could use a few more blinds or curtains, Porch was our favorite location. But overall, we enjoyed our stay, at night you can hear the Yopperlites calling if you listen close.

Nice stay in Grand Marais

We really enjoyed our stay at Paul’s Place. We actually confused the start date of stay and got to Grand Marais a day early, but Leslie was incredibly helpful and assisted us with finding a nearby hotel for the night and places in the area to grab dinner. The house was clean and perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids under 2. It’s just a short walk to the beach and has a nice little patio to spend a quiet evening outside. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

We liked being downtown and within walking distance of the beach. The house is old but charming, plenty of room and a nice large porch. It did have sloped floors and step ups into a few rooms (can be dangerous at night) but we got used to it. Did not like that there were no shades in any rooms except bedrooms. Every window and door could have used a roller shade, bathroom included. It is nice to kick back in privacy after dark, and it felt quite exposed. We also like to cook and the kitchen lighting was not adequate. (Cheap LED under cabinet lights do wonders) A comment on the local businesses......we prefer to order out in this age of Covid, but we could not find a place to order by phone, and the establishments were packed full of unmasked patrons. So we ended up cooking all our meals, instead of pumping $$ into the local economy as we would have preferred. But all in all a nice time, lovely area, nice people. I would recommend it with reservations (no pun intended).
