Great location! Nicely refurbished apartment. Very comfortable queen size
bed. We walked to restaurants shopping and Lake Superior shore line. Would recommend for 2-3 people.
My family (we have a 6 and 8 yo) and I had an excellent stay and couldnât have asked for a better location. Grand Marais is a gem and this place allowed us to be comfortable and well rested for a long weekend of adventuring.
We stayed 1 night in Gand Marias and really enjoyed having this as our home base. It was fun to walk to the lake, and to all the shops in town. The apartment was clean and comfortable.
The location was definitely the selling point. For a stay in Grand Marais we never had to drive anywhere.
The house could be better stocked with general necessities but nothing that was critical. There was hand and dish soap but no shampoo/cond/shower soap. The unit could use a deep cleaning but overall was acceptable.
Host was very responsive. Neighbors friendly. I would definitely stay here again but some small improvements would make a big difference!
We loved our stay in this apartment. It looked brand new. Very nice kitchen and lots of towels and blankets. Ben, the owner, was great with getting us a bag of ice and a can opener. We enjoyed Netflix at night. The place is so centrally located we walked everywhere.
This is a nice quite apartment very close to downtown. Its within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, the brewery, and the lake shore. It was clean and very minimally stocked and decorated. The bathroom is a little small if you have more than two people and the toilet was a little noisy on fill up. The kitchen had nice appliances although we at out most of the time.
There were a number of things that could have been a lot better. First, just trying to get into the place was a challenge. It took about 5-6 attempts of entering in the code for it to work almost every time. There were 2 of us staying there, one in the bedroom and I slept on the sofa bed. It was so uncomfortable I had to take the mattress off and put it on the floor to be able to sleep on it. I also couldnât use any of the bedding as it smelled like it was dried in about 50 bounce sheets. The entry door which faced the street had no curtain on it. When I was reading the reviews of this place, almost everyone complained about that so I was hoping he would have addressed it but he did not. The doors to the bathroom and bedroom were so tight in the door frame that it was difficult to open and close and very noisy so you would wake up the other person if you used the bathroom when they were sleeping. The cookware was of good quality (stainless steel) but they need to have an SOS pad in there to get the cooked on grease off so you could fry an egg with out it sticking. Having some basic essentials would be nice like salt and coffee. There was a coffee maker and filters but no coffee. The interior looks like it was recently done but not really finished in parts. Missing baseboard and bad paint job where the walls meet the ceiling. The icing on the cake was Ben asking us to take our trash with us or leave $8 as thatâs what he is charged to dump it. That seemed really petty.
Fantastic location right in Grand Marais. Cute apartment with everything you need. Itâs clean and well furnished, and the owner is very friendly way to communicate with. Had a great weekend chasing waterfalls with my son!
