Great Grand Marais Property!
We had a wonderful time! We love Grand Marais in the winter. This is a great location to be able to walk to shops and restaurants, while still having easy access to trails. We love the large table for playing games and, of course, the ping pong table is always a hit! Highly recommend the Getaway!

Annual Friends Weekend
We spend a winter weekend with our pals of 25 years in the Grand Marais area every year. What initially brought us to the area was the opportunity to CC ski. Again, this year we had to do other things, which worked out great because of this VRBO selection. The 110 Getaway house was a perfect place to be when the weather doesn't cooperate. We played ping pong, watched March Madness basketball in the cozy living room, played cards, and walked into town several times. The home is just the right size to enjoy another couple and be cozy in the north woods. The location is perfect for 10 minute walk to the grocery store or to the local restaurants and businesses. Extra wonderful to have our dogs along for the fun. We will be back!

We have stayed in other VRBO homes, which we enjoyed, but this one is definitely our favorite. It is spacious, well furnished, and the lower level was perfect for our teenagers. We definitely plan to reserve the home again.

hillside house
Property was very clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table, and a visiting kitty who checked on us every day. Nice outdoor spaces too, we had a bonfire one nite and it was very easy to do. Walkable to downtown and the harbor.
