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.*
