The Lighthouse. unique lodging overlooking the harbor. Nov. sauna special!
About this condo rental
Located in Grand Marais, this charming condo for $209 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. The 'Lighthouse' is a special lodging overlooking the town and harbor of Grand Marais from it's center. You are right in the heart of town within a block of everything- yet comfortably removed when you need a breather. You can sit up in bed and view the harbor and the big lake beyond. If you would like to access the sauna please contact the owners in advance and set up a reservation- it is an add on expense and is first come first serve. One day/night in the sauna is free, then you can purchase additional nights if they are available. There is covered parking that leads to the stairway that takes you up to the Lighthouse. The view of the old harbor from the balcony is stunning. There is a wrought iron table and chairs on the balcony for relaxing. Inside the Lighthouse you will find a queen bed, tile shower and bathroom, galley kitchen, custom dining table for two, LCD TV with Direct TV and blueray. The bed is set at an angle and faces southeast to capture the views of the harbor in the morning through large windows. Many of our guests yearn for a connection with nature, the lake, the community, high thread count sheets, reconnection with each other, and permission to come to a full stop for deep rest. There are transom windows around the perimeter of the apartment that let in light from all points on the compass but do not compromise privacy. Notice how the light changes as the day progresses. Observe the color differences around sunset or early in the morning as the Great Lake passes through it's moods. The ceiling is very high and is vaulted and timberframed with unique 'Dragon Beams' from local timberframe artisans. Topping the lighthouse is an octagonal cupola that lets light in all day and moonlight at night. And on top of the cuppola is a custom copper ball, in keeping with the lighthouses of the North Shore. An antique ship's light occupies the cuppola and can guide you as you walk home after a night of festivities in the town. There is an all cedar Finnish Sauna next door to the Lighthouse for the exclusive use of the Lighthouse guests for an additional fee. Usage comes with robes and additional towels and complete instructions. Simply state you would like to add the Sauna to the notes your stay when you make your reservation and we will contact you with details. When you wake in the morning seagulls are your companions and you may hear their webby feet tapping on the roof in the morning. Watch the fog roll in and out from your bed while you drink your morning coffee, and listen to the strains of local live music as the town celebrates the short summers at night. The gally kitchen is small but thoroughly modern with all the necessities. The Lighthouse is above the 'North Shore Fisherman's Cabin', a restored historic log home. The Lighthouse is known for it's inspiring charm. There have been plays and musicals written here, a handfull of proposals, and a good number of honeymoons. Come share the fantastic energy that is The Lighthouse. Lastly, we are implementing an incentive for you to choose trip insurance. We have discounted our rates on our direct website here by an additional 7% (the total savings between our direct site and say... AirBnB is now 14-21% only if you book on this direct site). We are doing this so that you may select trip insurance during your booking process. It will be offered to you while you are completing your booking and they charge 7%. We do not make any money on that. The cancellation policy we have had for 10 years is as follows: You may cancel within 48 hours of your booking for any reason. After that you can cancel with a 10% penalty up until 60 days prior to your arrival. After that you may cancel but your deposit can not be refunded. If you have trip insurance you can be reimbursed according to which policy you chose. And we are subsidizing it for you by having reduced our rental rates well below any other rates where our properties can be found. It's up to you, pocket the savings and run the risk of cancellation, or still get some savings and have the peace of mind of having some of your investment in your vacation protected in case of unforeseen events. No broadcast or cable Chanels. Smart TV only. Bring your codes for subscriptions. The sauna is available for an additional fee of $49 per night, the 3rd night is free. Please contact the host to verify availability of the sauna for booking during the time of your stay.

My wife and I came in for 4 nights for our anniversary. The place was just as advertised and in a superb location. Easy walk anywhere in town. Would definitely recommend for a couple as it is the perfect spot. 10/10.

The lighthouse concept is very cute. The owners gave a lot of great details (written and videos) of what to do around GM. I have been there many times and didn't know about some of them.

The view of the Grand Marais harbor from The Lighthouse is awe-inspiring from dawn to dusk, particularly when the Lake Superior waves are crashing against the rocky shoreline. The windowed wooden cupula provides a wonderful sense of spatial orientation throughout the streamlined natural wood interior and it was a pleasure to return to the cabin each night after a full day of exploring the many bays and beaches along Lake Superior's north shore.

Very cute and clean studio in a little compound close to town. This is our second time at the Lighthouse and enjoyed the views, close location to downtown, and the outstanding communication by owners. We have been taking an annual trip to GM for the last 15 years and have stayed at numerous places around town but like this little compound so much, have rebooked in one of the other cabins for next year! Thanks so much for a very enjoyable stay.

Just big enough for two people!! It was a cool little place, and we had just enough space for when we were there. It had everything that we needed, and we would definitely stay again. Can’t beat the location if you are looking for walking distance to all of the places to visit in Grand Marais.
Highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Lighthouse. The location was wonderful and allowed us to walk to a wide variety of venues in town. It was clean, well equipped, modern and a very comfortable "home away from homes". Would recommend and would definitely book this same unit again for a future visit.

My wife and I came up to Grand Marais for our 34th anniversary, and our first vacation since my wife finished chemo in the Spring. The Lighthouse was the perfect getaway for us. We took advantage of Todd and Susan’s tips on restaurants and hikes, and just thoroughly enjoyed the therapeutic beauty of Northern Minnesota. We highly recommend this place.

Great quiet spot close to town
Cute place! Just the right size for one or two. Enjoyed having the radio on the whole time, tuned to the wonderful local station. Nice view of the bay in the mornings, and the woodwork overhead was a lovely surprise. Lots of good info in the guest book as well.

Great, cozy studio in a beautiful town
Todd and Susan's place was wonderful! It was comfortable and cozy, in the heart of a fun little town. I was able to walk to almost all the fun spots, and there was no shortage of things to do!
Todd and Susan's hiking guides were wonderful (gave me lots of activities for my stay!) and the sauna was perfect. Pristine, fun spot. Thanks!
