Initial introduction with manager day one then he followed up to ensure we had his number for direct communication if needed. Many extras like the view, restaurants, pubs & even a hardware store close by. Several beaches to access within minutes for rocks, long walks or swimming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home across the street from the bay on Lake Superior. The location is absolutely perfect with views of the water from big windows. It's within walking distance of downtown and the beaches. The house is very spacious and comfortable- great kitchen, seating, balcony, and deck. We loved the ping pong and other games in the basement, and enjoyed them for many hours in between sight seeing. We traveled west to Pictured Rocks and East to Tahquamenon State Park and the Soo Locks. We also spent many hours on the lovely beaches enjoying the beautiful rocks and scenery. This was our first time in Grand Marais and I fell in love with the area! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The only downside was that we couldn't put the kids to bed and stay up in the main living area because it is a loft, but we knew that going in and everything worked out just fine. We were all very comfortable and we had so much fun! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family home with us! ##### Music Hill S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### RaeAnn W. Jun 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Weekend getaway We love coming to the UP. The house needs some TLC with cleaning. The spaces that are harder to reach have not been touched for a long time, possibly a year or more, which makes me feel like everything is dirty. The extra shower was something to be desired along with the sauna. If it was cleaner and free of cob webs we probably would have used it, but it was not inviting at all. We will go back to the UP but don't think we will stay here again because of the lack of cleanliness. I would have know that the house has been cleaned up to get me to stay here again. ##### RaeAnn W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larry R.

The house was a perfect spot to use as a basecamp for our fall adventures. We could walk to the beach and restaurants, and easily hit the road to get to the sights around Grand Marais. ##### Jason S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Justin W. Oct 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway! I’m familiar with many areas in the UP and have stayed in Grand Marais before during the winter, but had never been to the Big House. I booked it for a long weekend getaway for my father and I- he had never been to the UP before and I knew the location would be perfect for us. I had originally planned on bringing one of my dogs, which led me to this place, but didn’t end up bringing her. The house was better than expected; plenty of UP charm and was more than big enough. The view, the fireplace, cleanliness, amenities, and proximity to town were all major pluses for us. If I had one gripe, and it would be completely trivial, it would be that the smart tv was a challenge to navigate. I would absolutely…and will likely…stay here again! ##### Justin W.

You can't get any better than this! The location, the views and the house as well, excellent!! Dan, thank you very much for letting us enjoy your home, we will be back!! Being in Grand Marais brought all my childhood memories back, I love this town. Just like Dan mentioned, Grand Marais is no longer that "hidden gem". ##### Christine B.
