Just a hop, skip and a jump to the start of Grandma’s Marathon

Escape to the North Shore of Lake Superior. This small town cozy cottage getaway has everything you’ll need for a quiet retreat. We’re just 1.7 miles from the start of Grandma’s Marathon! Brew a cup of coffee and just sit back and relax or grab a beer at the local brewery downtown. This is the perfect spot to sneak away from your busy life. Hike, bike or kayak in the Waters of Lake Superior. Day trips up the shore to visit our State Parks will fill your trip with great family fun. This is where memories are made.
*Please note: We have the property protected with video surveillance covering both the front and back entrance/yards.*

We loved our stay. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Loved the location. It was close enough to spend a day in Duluth and close enough to spend a day driving up the North Shore. Two harbors also had a lot to offer. Our host was amazing to work with.

Cozy home with all the conveniences
Had a great visit in Two Harbors and the North Shore. This home is so cozy and comfortable. Sandy has covered all the details - would Definitely stay again. Our friend from Florida was very impressed. The only thing we would have liked would be more television channels. The guys are huge baseball fans and could not watch the playoff. But that’s a minor detail. Thanks for wonderful visit

The home was a perfect place to relax through the snowstorm happening outside. Clean, comfortable and close to anything we needed. Plus our son got to see a beautiful wintery Gooseberry Falls for the first time, after many years of spending time on the fantastic North Shore!
