Designed by celebrated Minnesota architect David Salmela and newly constructed in 2018/19. This collection of modern homes has been featured in Mn. Monthly, Midwest Home, Arch Daily, and other publications around the globe. We have even won awards for this architecture as far away as Sweden. The Aurora is the smaller sister to The Sky House and the Horizon, two sibling properties to Aurora in the exclusive enclave called "tre søstra" which means "three sisters" in Danish. Aurora is one bedroom, one bath, plus a very nice sleeper sofa for one adult or two children, and floor bed for one. There is a roomy main living space that seems to float above the area buildings and has wonderful view of the harbor, the town, and Lake Superior. Although designed ideally as an upscale oasis for two, 4 people can stay here in a pinch. The Aurora provides an inspiring modern space that allows for privacy among those sharing the lodging, and also provides a captivating view from the great room area on the top floor of the Grand Marais harbor, the neighborhood, and the town close by. She has a desk area in the bedroom, a walk out blue stone patio from the bedroom, a planning desk in the hall, an all tile bathroom with walk in shower, a large entry area, a full laundry, a beautiful flight of stairs to the upper level, a balcony, panoramic windows, fully modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, lighted drawers and butcher block countertops; dining for 4 with 6 possible, a custom sofa that sleeps one adult, or two children, a custom floor bed for one, and a gas fireplace. Everything is in walking distance from our little micro community in the heart of Grand Marais. Every restaurant, bar, coffee shop, gallery and Grand Marais' famous beach are all within a very short stroll from your private residence. The home is designed in modern Nordic fashion based on the original Stabur design- a work building commonly seen in Northern Europe. This design culminates a timeline of Scandinavian and Nordic design that the Miller's began on the property next door that also honored northern work buildings in the roots of their designs. There is off street parking under a car port. There is an electric car charging station in the carport as well. There is a fully modern and capable kitchen, an architect designed built in sofa and contemporary gas fireplace. Note the unique skylight with modern light treatments and the push button electronic pop up television that you can leave hidden if you wish. There is also a balcony. The entire home has slate floors and modern cabinets. There is a utility room with full size washer and dryer. Everything about The Aurora is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. These homes have an incredibly small footprint both structurally and environmentally. The foundations were designed to take up as little of the yard as possible- by being small at the start and increasing as you go up just like the old Stabur upon which this design is based. The energy efficiency is profound because these are composed of structurally insulated panels which are incredibly efficient. No cost has been spared to make the Aurora the highest quality, most significant architectural addition to Grand Marais' beautiful landscape. We hope you will find it warm, welcoming, and a once in a lifetime experience in one of the world's most magical places. We have written a detailed guide to what we consider the most special "secret" places in the area. You can pick and chose your own adventures with it for reference depending on your tastes and the weather. That guide is available to you inside the home and also sent out via links to videos.

The property was exactly as described and the accommodations could not have been better. The location was a block from the main drag of Grand Marcias and convenient to all shopping and restaurants.

As a result, the modern vibe and tastefully decorated interior made for a relaxing haven and the surrounding scenery of Grand Marias seemed to be a bonus. From the welcoming reception of the cherry blossoms to hiking the ‘secret’ trails, the entire experience was invigorating. A must “do again”. ##### Neil S.

Not only does this distinctive property feel calming and luxurious, but the restful view of the lake and harbor helped us come away feeling relaxed and restored. The pleasures of this little community are easily walkable: restaurants and breweries, shops, galleries, the harbor. The Aurora is equipped with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. The owners live nearby and clearly have a deep commitment to creating and maintaining the special feeling of these lovely “Three Sisters” homes. We will definitely return! Be advised that these 3 homes do involve exterior and interior stairs if that is a health/physical concern for you. ##### Ron O. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 12, 2018 #### Wow! An incredibly beautiful property! A fantastic lodging experience! We've stayed practically everywhere in Grand Marais over many years, including our hosts' other properties (many times) - but this is really a whole new experience, especially for those, like us, who truly enjoy architectural excellence. The Aurora has that in spades. The pictures can't do it justice because you need the whole experience to understand the value. I'll just say that we booked again (dates this year and next year) immediately upon checking in. Even though there were still workers there finishing building and beginning landscaping, we honestly were not bothered at all. We're active and out and about and by the time we were back for dinner, reading, and gazing, it was as peaceful and quiet as anywhere else in that bustling village. Even on Saturday when we hung around a good portion of the day, the ongoing work was not any degree of bothersome.The carport wasn't finished either but, as always, there was readily available parking right out front on the street. We were both so happy with the wonderfully comfortable bed - everything is new and top shelf. You won't believe the view. I could go on and on...there's so much to say about the coolest addition to lodging in the jewel of the North Shore. You'll just have to find out for yourselves. We have our dates booked - hope you all do, too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia B.

Everything was extremely clean, working order, great location a d just can't beat the views. Only downside is the couch - although a beautiful design, extremely uncomfortable to sit on - and after a long day of hiking and a hot shower you'll want somewhere more comfortable to plop down! ##### Julia B.
