Holiday houses in Grand Portage State Forest

This place is just north of Grand Marais and offers a beautiful view of Lake Superior from the deck. It is quiet and private, and there is a great night sky view of the stars.

Robert was a fantastic host. The place was very cozy and peaceful and was everything needed for a wonderful getaway from the rustle and bustle of everyday life. To top it off, my girlfriend and I got ourselves stuck and he helped dig and push our car put and was even willing to help tow us out if it came to that. He went above and beyond anything I’d expect from a host. And I highly recommend staying at one of his locations if you want a great place to stay and a host who has your back. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a lovely time in this wonderfully appointed home! The nicely decorated spacious main floor allows for great conversations (open concept), great cooking (amazing kitchen!) & great outdoor access (2 decks). Having 3 bedrooms & baths was also a treat. We used the private beach area several times (another great treat). Our host was incredibly responsive to all requests, as well. Thank you, Megan & Crew.

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!

This place was perfect to stay at for a weekend of skiing at Lutsen. The view of Lake Superior from the balcony was absolutely beautiful! The pool and hot tub were conveniently located in the same building and easy to find. We would stay at this place again!

Place was fantastic. We stayed 3 nights (March, 2025) with four young kids, two adults. Everything is very well communicated/clear (access, entry, garage, rules, etc) everything is known up front (kitchen items, fireplace, etc) Place is big and quiet too. Very clean, updated, cozy, and well lit (also with blackout curtains in all bedrooms) Kitchen is nice with everything you need to cook, including a grill (already had tea, keurig coffee and cups, oil, seasonings, including paper towels, zip locks, detergent, soap, etc) There is everything you need for the beach (chairs, toys, towels). Tons of games, puzzles, and books. But the best of all..... private beach, sauna, tons of firewood, garage, AND a washer/dryer. Fantastic North Shore Location (near Split Rock Lighthouse, Gooseberry Falls, Two Harbors, Tettegouche, etc). It's quiet, it's big, it's got everything you need, it's a great set up and we would proudly recommend this place to any of our family and friends!

Our stay was perfect! Very clean throughout, especially the bathroom and kitchen. Great spot for a weekend away. You have perfect views from your room but also plenty of gorgeous nature to explore nearby. Melanie was very responsive and provided excellent info! This was a 10/10 stay!

Been coming to Cindy’s condo for 4 years now. Always a great stay and a great host.

We had the best stay at Deb’s home. You can see Lutsen ski hill and Lake Superior from the deck. This place is so beautiful and peaceful. The kitchen is fully stocked which was helpful to make meals for a large group of people. If you get bored, she has TONS of games in the closet. The host was very responsive and let us have an early check in. High recommend this stay.
