Avalon Guesthouse : Eastside Suite

Thanks for a great stay! The property was clean and very homey. There were lots of little thoughtful items that make life easier when on vacation...water, coffee, ice in freezer, and fans, to just name a few. We will be back!

This house had everything we needed! MaryKate was a fantastic host. She met us when we arrived, gave us a few tips and tricks on the house, the parking, and the area. Communication was super easy, and she was very responsive. The location was top-notch. Right across the street from the lake, and so many things were within walking distance. Will definitely check to see if this house is available again next time we head “up North!” Highly recommend!!

This place was perfect for my wife and I while in Grand Marais for 5 days. The host was great and all communication was too. We had a blizzard on our 3rd day with 2 feet of snow and she made sure that the driveway and sidewalks were cleared as soon as was possible so that we could get out if we wanted to. We will definitely be back to this place!

host was very welcoming and very helpful. this was our second stay here.

Guesthouse was in the perfect location for walking anywhere in Grand Marais, as well as only 10 minutes from great xc-skiing. Cozy and inviting. Will definitely stay again.

A perfect place to stay in Grand Marais. The Eastside Suite at the Avalong Guesthouse was just right for our 4-night stay. Close walking distance to all the restaurants and shops in town, and an amazing view of Lake Superior from the front windows. I was taking a class at the North House Folk School, which was less than a block away. The property was cozy, exceptionally clean, and beautifully decorated. Even with temps below zero outside, we were warm and happy inside. This is our new place to stay whenever we're in, or near, Grand Marais.

Very nice place

Close to town. Great view of the harbor!

Great location, great view of the harbor, cozy & comfortable. We are repeat customers here. Love it!

Our happy place Great home, Great hosts, right on the Great Lake! Thank you David and MaryKate for sharing the Avalon Guest House. We will be back!

What a wonderful and relaxing weekend away from the Cities! The location was fantastic and MaryKate was great! The place was very clean and comfortable - we lacked for nothing.

This unit was very clean and very well appointed. It had everything we needed and the view was amazing.

Comfortabe, clean and conveniently located, we enjoyed every moment of our stay at Avslon Guest House.

Check-in was easy. It was done using cell phone. A full kitchen for making meals if you don’t want to go to the restaurants that are along the North Shore. The apartment was very clean. Great location and great view. MaryKate was a great host. Thanks for everything.

Excellent space for our family of four. Location was fantastic and the host was extremely accommodating.

We always love our stay here for our annual family trip to Grand Marais! Perfect view and location, and lovely, cozy property!

Loved this house! Just book it! Easily walkable to everywhere. Amazing views. Great hammock. Lovely host. Clean. We played the games made s’mores in fire pit. Loved coming home to this wonderful house!

Our kids loved staying at thus property.The location was ideal for them.

Excellent location that made walking to all local sites possible. Shower and kitchen amenities were fantastic- would totally rent again

This is a great place to stay for a family of 4 in Grand Marais. The property is clean and well maintained, and the communication with the owners was excellent. It is within walking distance of all the downtown action, and a stone throw away from Voyageur brewery. The hammock and fireplace were a plus as well. Will try to come back.

Comfortable, convenient lodging.

Lovely property. Well maintained and furnished. Right across the road from the harbor. Easy walking distance to everywhere in town. Beds were very comfortable. Mary Kate met us there and walked us through everything. Enjoyed our week immensely.

We loved our stay!!! Beautifully decorated and emaculate! A favorite for sure!!! Highly recommend!

Great spot for a homebase to hike the area. Short walk to coffee, restaurants and shops. Cutely decorated and everything you need! Host was responsive and easy. Recommend!

Perfect location, beautiful views of Lake Superior. Comfortable accommodations.

Great place to stay and within walking distance of the downtown area.

It would be hard to find a more perfect location to enjoy Lake Superior in Grand Marais, MN. We had a constant view of the lake and lighthouse, and was conveniently located in the center of town, near restaurants, shopping and enjoying nature. We had a lovely stay and hope to return in the future!

The giant snow storm made it a little messy to get in and out of the house, but not much you could have done about that. We loved playing some of the board games and enjoyed a little TV too. Great view of the lake. The house worked great for us!

We stayed with another couple at this cute VRBO during Grand Marais slow season in mid-April. The VRBO had all we needed, with a nice view of Lake Superior. The host, MaryKate, clearly and quickly communicated with us when we had questions. We would stay here again!

This was a great place to stay!

It was a great place to stay for a ski trip to Lutsen. The view out the front was great.

The property was easily accessible with convenient parking. The property was clean and had a well equipped kitchen that allowed us to prepare several meals. MaryKate also provided some delicious locally roasted coffee that we really enjoyed. If you're looking for a quite, centrally located getaway in Grand Marais, this is a great option. I would definitely stay here again!

Ideal location and cozy place to stay with beautiful views!

Adorable cottage close to everything!

Great place to stay. Great host! Restaurants within walking distance were excellent!

This home was amazing! It was super clean and well stocked with quality furnishings, kitchen items and artwork. It was great to have a 24/7 view of Lake Superior and the harbor. We were within walking distance to everything in Grand Marais. We had a great stay!

This cottage was perfect for our stay. Great location, clean and very comfortable! We had everything we needed for a fun, relaxing weekend with friends in this great town!

Great place. The house and location are as advertised!

Fun!

Ok, some of the perfection was 2 days of sunny 60+ degree weather in mid October. If you like being within walking distance but in your own building (there is a renter or someone on the other side, but only heard when leaving out the front door), then this place is it. If you like the view out on the lake, the sunrise view from the big front window and the comfort of the couch, chairs and beds, then this place is it. If you like the huge fire pit and delicious steaks cooked on it as well as the smoked fish house within view, then this is the place. My wife and I as well as another couple stayed. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see that you have to walk through 1 room to get to the other. But the bathroom with doors to the bathroom as well as between the rooms make the inconvenience of that very minimal. Will stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully appointed and conveniently located cottage. Large windows provided an excellent view of the entrance to Grand Marais harbor.

What a perfect location. We loved the view from the house and the close proximity to all the downtown businesses. The place was clean and we loved the small details added to the house. Highly recommend ❤️

The house in Grand Marais is even more charming than the description! Everything went very smoothly. The house is well equipped and the location is great. We enjoyed several campfires in the yard. I’d love to come back!

The location is excellent! The host is wonderful! The house was very clean and comfortable. The host provided coffee and a bottle of sparkling water as well as a lot of little extras to make the stay enjoyable. The only negatives were the road noise and truck fumes that sometimes came in through the open windows facing the street during the day. The house was also quite warm since there is no air conditioning. The host did provide fans to help with the heat. We enjoyed our stay!! Thank you!

The view from the comfortable living room was fantastic. We spent evenings around the fire pit. The home is compact, but fully appointed. We had everything we needed and loved the extra touches like the vase of fresh flowers. Plus it was close to everything with a great restaurant across the street.

Everything was wonderful! Maykate was lovely, very welcoming. The space was fantistic! Walked everywhere. Food was great, everywhere, including. Angry Trout, Hlppee Tacos, Blue Water Cafe, Java cafe! Just a few. We enjoyed the area. Stunning views! Peaple were friendly, THIGHLY recamended!!! Thank your your hosptality!

The house was everything we expected and the neighborhood was very nice. The best was being right on the harbor and being a short walk to the lake, shopping and restaurants.
