The location is great as it is just a few blocks to the beach and downtown. The property is in very good shape and well maintained. The amenities were great. As Walt said' We've got everything you might need." This was very true! This would be a great vacation spot for families with all ages of children or a couple. Jasper our dog enjoyed his stay too. They deserve a 5 star rating!

Definitely the place to stay

It was everything as described and more. The texting, arrival, accommodations, comfort were all very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this location, especially if you are traveling with your fur baby. The kitchen was better stocked than my own with accessories and appliances. The a/c worked well, the noise was extremely minimal on the street corner. Thank you Walk and Christine for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

I've stayed here before and once again it was clean and well stocked. You just have to bring your clothes and everything else is provided. It is within walking distance of agate beach. It is a clean and comfortable environment.

Nice clean place

We had a very relaxing time in Grand Marais. I was traveling with my husband, sister and 2 dogs. The mobile home was just as described. Check in was easy. We were even able to check in a little early. Our host was very quick to respond to questions. The mobile home was clean and well stocked. It had a nice size yard for our dogs and was conveniently located. I would definitely stay there again!

Great location

Within walking distance of the little town shops and beach(less than half a mile). Plenty of space for the 4 adults, 2 kids. The full kitchen was nice and had more than enough dishes and utensils. They had a few condiments in the fridge and fixings for coffee as well. If I would have known how expensive and limited the local grocery store was I would have done a more thorough shopping trip before arriving. The unit has AC units in the living room, dining/kitchen area, and the main bedroom. It took about a day to get the whole place at a comfortable temperature. Overall, we had a wonderful time and the owers were very easy to communicate with!
