About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a hop, skip and a jump to the start of Grandma’s Marathon

Escape to the North Shore of Lake Superior. This small town cozy cottage getaway has everything you’ll need for a quiet retreat. We’re just 1.7 miles from the start of Grandma’s Marathon! Brew a cup of coffee and just sit back and relax or grab a beer at the local brewery downtown. This is the perfect spot to sneak away from your busy life. Hike, bike or kayak in the Waters of Lake Superior. Day trips up the shore to visit our State Parks will fill your trip with great family fun. This is where memories are made.
*Please note: We have the property protected with video surveillance covering both the front and back entrance/yards.*

Fall on the North shore
We enjoyed our stay, we had everything we needed at the house after spending time enjoying all that the north shore has to offer. The ping pong table in the basement was a highlight and was enjoyed by the whole family.

Great place to stay
Fantastic place to stay for a North Shore trip. Close to many favorite places like Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse. The attention to details was over the top. Many little extras to make your stay easier. Like charging stations, toys and games too many to list. Definitely would stay here again

Cozy, comfy & adorable
We loved our stay. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Loved the location. It was close enough to spend a day in Duluth and close enough to spend a day driving up the North Shore. Two harbors also had a lot to offer. Our host was amazing to work with.
