Our family has stayed here before and we love it! 5 stars because they deserve it. The property is very nice and convenient to downtown GM. Dog friendly property too! We did bring our own, portable grill as we wanted to enjoy the weather and a home cooked meal. We will definitely be staying here again!

Beautiful Home
We loved our stay at this beautiful home in Grand Marais! It fit our family of 4 with 2 children under the age of 4 perfectly and had everything we needed. The owners were so pleasant and were very responsive to our needs during our stay as well. You can’t beat having a full home while being away from home vs a traditional hotel. Our favorite part of the home was having a back yard and fire pit which we really enjoyed. Thank you Matt and Nancy!

Long weekend in low calm season
Because of the low season, we could visit and do some hikes with not many tourists. The house was a suitable base. Although the house is next to the highway, the traffic is not at all intense. The house is super clean, warm and with the necessary cooking tools. It even had some board games to end up the evenings with some laughs. Fully recommended.

Ski get away
Property was very clean. Plenty of room for the four of us. Only negative is the location is right on highway 61, so moderate traffic right out the front door. There were sound machines in each bedroom however, so that helps. The location is just on the fringe of Grand Marais.

Great location, great cottage, would stay again!
We stayed at Getaway for three nights. We had two large golden doodles and our daughter with us. It was a perfect location for Grand Marais. There wasn’t one thing they forgot that helped us feel at home. It is decorated very nice, and it is clean. The front of the house has very tall ceilings that makes it feel even more spacious. It was the perfect place to rest after a long day of hikes in the North Shore. The house sits right on highway 61 with one bedroom in the front, but they have a noice machine in every bed room to help you drawn out the road noice. We were so tired we didn’t need them. I would highly recommend Getaway!

Roomy and comfortable
Plenty of room, comfy beds, clean and stocked with everything our group needed. Depending on your group, you could walk into town from here, or just to Up Yonder for a night cap. It is positioned near the main road, but we weren't bothered by road noise. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay in Grand Marais
The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We are very familiar with Grand Marais and wanted something with 3 bedrooms that's reasonably close to the campground. This checked all of our boxes.

Up North
We have relatives in the Lutsen/Grand Marais area. It's always fun Up North...visiting family, shopping, hiking, 4 wheeling. This cottage we stayed at was a good location. We had 2 dogs with us and each morning we took a nice walk down to Grand Marais. The dogs loved it! The walkway is nice to use...right on HWY 61. So much to do...not ever enough time!
