Quiet and comfortable
Posted Oct. 15, 2024 on HomeAwayThis vacation home was in a great location, close to town & the lake. It was a quiet & comfortable retreat. Kim (host) was accommodating in every way; she was sooo helpful to see we experienced the area to is fullest.

Beautiful views; wonderful town
Posted Sep. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayThe view from the cabin was incredible. The location was perfect, close to downtown Grand Marais (which is so cute) and between major landmarks like the falls and Pictured Rocks. One thing I didn't read closely enough in the listing was that there was no bathtub which was hard with littles and important to note for future guests. It would also be great to have a grill! I gave cleanliness 4/5 stars because the floors could be vacuumed a bit more and there were some updates/repairs that needed to be done (the couches were torn and some of the blinds were difficult to open/didn't close all the way, the toilet was running in the downstairs bathroom.) These details were small compared to the beautiful location and kind host. Kim offered us wonderful suggestions on things to do and kept us entertained for the whole week!

Hi Katie! Thank you for your response. I'm glad you and your family had a wonderful vacation. During the busy season, it is nearly impossible to do things like have a professional come in to instal new blinds. They have been ordered and that has been in the works for quite some time. A new sofa is also on the way! I did not realize that the toilet was 'running'. That was recently repaired and a new stopped installed. I will follow up on this! I have also addressed the vacuum situation with my housecleaner. This is the first time EVER that there has been an issue as you probably saw from my former reviews. I take pride in ensuring that the home is impeccable! You could have asked if there was a bathtub. I provide a variety of product for children like fun shampoos and body washes. I'm sure you were able to locate them in the cabinet. In the years that I have had my home on VRBO, this has never come up. Grand Marais is a quaint, charming town in the North Woods. These homes are simple and many only have showers. Again, this has never come up in the past and I have had many many families stay with me. You may want to ask future hosts that question specifically. I do provide a cooking grate on the fire pit. A grill is simply a safety issue. I am not comfortable having a grill on my porch that guests may or may not know how to use. In the North Woods, this is just a safety concern. Again, I'm glad that you enjoyed your vacation. If you have the opportunity to visit my home again, I'm sure will love the new sofa and blinds. (Guests are rough on the blinds, FYI). Thanks again! Hope your kids have a good school year!

Beautiful view
Posted Aug. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayThe property was clean and cozy. It was supplied well so we didn’t have to worry about restocking. A great place to relax and use as a base to explore the UP. Kim’s suggestions about the area proved to be very helpful.

Ahhh the quiet…
Posted Aug. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayThis home and property are truly magnificent. House is very clean and roomy- nice, comfortable beds and furnishings. Loved the unique (probably local?) art placed throughout the house. The property is sprawling and gorgeous- white birch, lovely flowers- so much nature to enjoy. Every morning we’d be greeted by a doe and her two fawn, and so many hummingbirds all day long! Our dog loved her walks and exploring all throughout the property. Oh, and wow this is an excellent place for stargazing!! We found complete serenity and seclusion here, yet 5 min away is downtown GM. Was the perfect getaway for us. Kim is an exceptional host; she’s very welcoming and personable. Communication was excellent. She provided us info on all the restaurants and things to do & see while in town.
Thanks so much for everything, Kim. See you next summer- and hopefully this fall!
Best,
Nancy, Linda and Rakael

Grand Marais Paradise
Posted Jul. 21, 2024 on HomeAwayWe couldn't have asked for a better location for our stay in Grand Marais. The home was clean and spacious with plenty of room in the kitchen and living room. I don't think i will forget our view overlooking the bay and lake superior, its beautiful.
Kim was an exceptional host and went out of her way throughout the week updating us on any and all events happening not only in town but surrounding areas.
On our next visit we will definitely come here again.
We especially appreciated the heads up the day we got there with the fireworks, they were cancelled the day before and the view was amazing!

Thank you for your kind words! I work hard to make sure guests are aware of things going on so they can participate and make the most of their visit to the area. You now have a home away from home! See you again soon. Winter is great too!

Perfect Lake Superior Retreat
Posted Jul. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThe perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Upper Peninsula. Beautiful views, well equipped kitchen and property, close to Pictured Rocks, and the town if Grand Marias is within walking distance. We had a really great stay - thanks for all the recommendations, Kim!

Awesome property
Posted Jan. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayAlthough there was no snow, Kim gave us a lot of suggestions on things to do and sights to see. The home is clean, warm and welcoming. The property was set up well for trailers and our toys! Trails were very close and we were able to ride out of her house with the quads and side by side each day! The town of grand marais was super friendly to us as well. Great trip!!
