Great Location
Very clean, plenty of comfortable seating in living-room. No air-conditioning but fans helped keep it cooler in the house. Great restaurants. Residents very welcoming and helpful. Great vacation! Only issue was communication regarding the reservation we made on 4/24/23. My first time using VRBO. Was not aware the payment for the reservation was handled separately through the rental's management company (Lake Superior Vacation Rentals). That should have been made clearer. As a result, I thought we had a reservation but was unsure when I received an email from LSVR,on 9/8/23 (after free cancellation date) regarding final payment. After repeated phone calls & emails to LSVR, around 9/8/23, with no response to clarify reservation and payment, we contacted VRBO. That's when we learned that payment was not taken out at the time the reservation was made 4/24/23. VRBO was also unable to reach LSVR. With our vacation approaching fast, we ended up making reservations elsewhere just in case. LSVR did not call, email or contact me again until 9/23/23. From 9/8/23 to 9/23/23, we didn't know whether we still had a reservation or not. VRBO and Lake Superior Vacation Rental Communication need to communicate clearer at reservation time. We ended up cancelling our stand-by reservation once our original reservation was confirmed. That shouldn't have happened. From 9/8/23 to 9/23/23, we were scrambling around to find an alternative reservation. It was unnecessary stress.

Wonderful stay
The house was very clean and we loved the layout. Very roomy. We have musicians as friends and the layout made playing very convenient. Loved the short walk to town as well.

Stay at Grand Marais
House was in the village. Short walk to beach on harbor, picnic tables with grills, and downtown restaurants. Easy access to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Would rent this property again.

Very Nice, Would Come Again
From the outside photo it looks small but inside it's quite spacious. The main living area is all open, kitchen on one end and the living area on the other. Nice Roku and TV, and wi-fi works fine. Two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Laundry room has new looking Kenmore equipment. Propane heat. No AC but it's rarely needed. Ceiling fan in living area and the larger bedroom. One half mile into town, easy to walk if you want. Pleasant and safe neighborhood and park in the driveway off the road. My wife & I would stay here again if & when we get back to GM.
