Family-friendly vacation rentals in Grand Marais

I've stayed at Calley's places many times. You can beat the ski-in/ski-out location. She has made some nice upgrades to the units over the years and always does a great job with the communication. Her property manager is a great guy and is very responsive if issues arise. You can't go wrong staying here.

Great place to stay at. Nothing beats being able to just walk out of you back door and be on the ski hill. Has everything anyone would need plus more.

A great location. In walking distance to a ski lift. The place was clean and it was awesome being able to have a fire in the fire place. Peter checked in with us in person to see if we needed anything. Also, he was very responsive to a couple questions I had prior to arriving. We will be back.

Good spot, nice place for the price. We had a small mix-up with getting back in, but Tim was very responsive and got it handle immediately.

We had a wonderful family get-away and Rick's home was the ideal place to stay! The location was perfect. The views of the lake were spectacular and the home was cozy with many thoughtful amenities.

This is a very nice and spacious place in a convenient building whether you are skiing at Black River (which is ski in - ski out) or Jackson Creek Summit which is only 10 minutes away and has easy parking. Calley is super responsive and easy to work with.

Tim’s place was very relaxing for the early weekend getaway! Would def stay with host again!

Calley is a really great host. This place is clean and comfortable with two full bedrooms and bathrooms. It’s super convenient to Black River. True ski in / ski out. Easy drive to Jackson Creek and other local areas. These are some of the best accommodations in the area with a great host. Highly recommend! We will be back.

The cabin was wonderful. It was very peaceful and quiet; all that could be heard was the babbling of the Baptism River nearby. The cabin was very clean and easy to get to. We’d definitely stay here again!

This is a wonderful off grid get away. We did a winter trip and pulled sleds with skis. Brought in water, coffee, and food. Made fires in the stoves for heat, and had a couple great saunas with cold plunges in the lake. Everything required work which is what my group was looking for. Wood to split, fires to feed, and lanterns to see at night. Close enough to ski back to the car and head to Ely anytime we wanted. Would recommend for unplugging from the busy world. Still had cell service if needed, but we stayed on airplane mode for the most part.

An absolutely wonderful stay! We spent time around the fire, walking the beach, and loved the gas fires and sauna inside too. Really enjoyed cooking with great pans and utensils , and gathering at the table with a great view inside and out. The wrap around porch is welcoming and the path around the fire pit to the lake spectacular! We will be back!

Beautiful farm house. Host was super responsive. VERY quiet, so much that we wanted to use the noise machines in the rooms. Very warm (we visited in February and below 0 temps) and pleasantly surprised how warm it was. Bathrooms don’t have exhaust fans and would recommend bringing or adding more fans to the property for moving air at night because it was pretty warm. (Yes we turned down the heat at night)

Jason’s house was absolutely beautiful. Literally feet off the lake. Stunning sunsets and sunrises. Super easy and fast communication and helpful with answers. The place is clean and has just about all you need. If you plan on snowmobiling, something to note is the home is about 1 1/2 miles off the trail so you will need to ride the highway and the plows leave very little to no snow on the emergency lanes. But we absolutely loved our stay.

The Bunkhouse exceeded our expectations. It was cozy, relaxing, and clean. We enjoyed being right on the lake, walking in the woods, a warm campfire, and the sauna! The internet allowed us to stream a Lynx basketball game, the porch offered quiet reading space, and the pullout sofa afforded restful sleep. Our old dog loved the calm outdoors and “Back 40”. We can’t wait to come back!

Terri and Aaron’s cabin is simply a magical little spot. Super cozy! Super great hosts!

Wow! This home is beautiful. The large windows brilliantly showcase the unique beach scape while being directly on Lake Superior but the private beach access is the cherry on top. The home (and property) was larger than we expected and was cozy from top to bottom. We were so happy to bring our kids and dog, and both had the best time exploring. The sunsets and sunrises are unforgettable at this home. We had a couple clear nights and the stars were shining so bright. One in a million type of views/experience. Location was great, as we skied Lutsen Mountains with a 10 minute drive, a State park hike close by, and went to Grand Marais easily. We’d love to return soon and extend our stay next time!

Wonderful place. Beautiful views of Lake Superior.

Two friends and I stayed here for Grandma’s Marathon weekend. The condo is about 30 minutes from the start, which worked out perfectly. The condo is exactly as described, directly on Lake Superior with the most gorgeous views from the living room and master bedroom. We loved that each room has its own bathroom and the fully equipped kitchen for making our own meals. The indoor pool and sauna are a very short walk from the unit and are very clean and well maintained. There is a bike path that intersects with the condo’s driveway, which goes along the water and is separate from the road. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!

Jereme, was so helpful with all aspects of our 4 night stay at this Beautiful spot near the Poplar River. Skiing out was a breeze and we had enough snow to ski all the way back as well. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and pool at Caribou and everyone enjoyed this wonderful skiing experience. Great host and great spot at Lutsen Mountains!

This is our second time staying with Jon, although this time we stayed in a different unit. Jon is wonderful and easy to work with. He’s got great local recommendations and we love the place for access to Nordic skiing at Mt. Ashwabay. Will be back.

Host had great communication and instructions. Easy to check in and get into room.

The view was great. Home was comfy. Thanks again!
