About this property

Tamarack House on Lake Superior

Tamarack House is a cozy, family friendly house on private Lake Superior lot in Hovland, 20 minutes past the amazing town of Grand Marais. The house offers two inviting, comfortable bedrooms upstairs with king and queen beds, one with a designated work space. The downstairs provides a rec room, queen bed and twin over full bunk beds. The upstairs living and dining open to full Lake Superior views - relax and take it all in. The owners enjoy spending time here with their kids and dogs and hope you do the same.

The house provides a wonderful place to relax & take in the big lake, or can be a good base for exploring inland hikes and canoeing - ideally a bit of both! It is equipped with board games & puzzles, art supplies for kids, books for adults & kids & two TVs with Roku’s for access to streaming services. Outside your door there is a beach for all your stone throwing needs. A fire pit is nestled along the shore to take in sunsets and enjoy the scenery. Adequate firewood is provided.

The Arrowhead Trail, which has access to pristine inland lakes is just a couple miles down Hwy 61. Bring your canoe, kayak or fishing boat and go explore! Judge C. Magney State Park is known for the Devils Kettle hike, and farther up Hwy 61 is High Falls, just before the Canadian border. The house is also just 20 min from Grand Marais which is home to an unbeatable harbor, an amazing art community & numerous local shops & restaurants worth checking out.

Two things to note incase they are a must for your party - there is no dishwasher, and drinking / cooking water is provided in a 13 gallon container in the kitchen as well as more downstairs if needed. This is due to the lake draw well the house uses. Running water can be used for showering or doing dishes but can appear slightly yellow/brown due to sediment from the lake.

Spring Break getaway
We had a great stay on the North Shore. Close to Grand Marais, as well as the Canadian Border, so choose your own adventure. Our boys fished off the lighthouse point in GM, and we did a hike up at Grand Portage on the border. Spent tons of time on the lakefront, and watched the younger kids climb all over everything while collecting more rocks to bring home. The absolute highlight, from a Minneapolis family, was the stargazing! No Northern Lights, but wow! What an amazing view of our corner of the galaxy. We'll be back, for sure!

Girls hiking weekend
Home felt like just that, from the extra items in the cupboards to the condiments in the fridge, HOME away from home. Appreciated those things! Kleenex, extra blankets, etc were all there. For a true 'up north' stay! Thank you!

SHT Hiking trip
Awesome place to stay for a girl's hiking trip. The water was a tad inconvenient at first, but we figured it out and all was great! The fire pit is right next to the water and the house is right next to the firepit. So convenient! The views from the house were magnificient. It is right on the lake.... and very close to the SHT trails. So convenient and so nice!

Sounds of the ocean and stars of a planetarium
Excellent place that offers relaxing sounds and artistic neighbors we are enchanted. Not far away from Grand Portage gems and the Canadian border this was what everyone needed for a weekend getaway. Best part was our cell phones did not work which gave us more time to bond and have meaningful conversations.

Fall stay at Tamarack House
We so enjoyed our stay at Tamarack House. It is a great location for the activities we want to do in the area. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen,dining ,living area is great for eating and relaxing. We love being right by Lake Superior and having campfires at night. Being able to bring our dogs is greatly appreciated. We hope to stay here again in the future.
