A Stone's Throw from Lake Superior, the bay and downtown pet friendly

Welcome to A Stone's Throw, perfectly located only 1 block away from Lake Superior's agate beach, the sandy shores of the bay and to downtown Grand Marais, Mi. Bring the bikes! Bike up Coast Guard Point, relax on the beach and still have time for day trips out of town. Walking distance to beach, bay and downtown bars. Well behaved dogs are welcome ;)

Out the side door of the property is a large deck with a seating for all guests. When it gets close to sunset you can easily walk to the large public deck, to enjoy a beautiful, colorful show in the sky. As night descends some will enjoy hunting fluroscent sodalite-GLOWING- rocks on the beach with UV lights and if the conditions are right, they will also have the opportunity to see a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Four bedooms- all Queen beds, and the master suite as an additional full size futon couch, so easily sleeps 10 persons. Three full bathrooms makes it even better

There is a fire pit and we offer free wood to burn. There is a propane grill with a back up tank, just in case. There is a good size lawn for games and a bean bag toss is available to use.

Grand Marais, MI has several points of interest, including Sable Falls, Au Sable Lake, Pickle Barrel Museum, Post Office Museum, and the Light Keepers House Museum, in addition there is a self guided walking tour of the town. This location is also convenient for day trips into Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Tahquamenon Falls, Oswald Bear Ranch, Kitch-iti-kipi (Michigan's largest natural freshwater spring), Historic Fayette State Park, and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, just to name a few.

The house includes 2 common areas; one with relaxed seating and one that has a dining table that seats six. The adjacent kitchen has a breakfast bar with 4 high top chairs (close proximity to the dining room table), stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Smaller applicances and cooking supplies are provided such as coffee maker, (both Keurig and Mr. Coffee drip), toaster, electric hot water kettle, blender, air popcorn popper, crock pot/slow cooker, pots/pans, silverware, plates, and glassware.

Yes there is wi-fi and a smart TV. You can sign in to your Amazon or Netflix, etc. In addition there is a DVD player with a selection of movies.

A reasonable amount of paper products and cleaning supplies, including laundry detergent will be made available. Grand Marais does have a small local grocery store, but most guests find it more suitable to bring groceries, especially specific branded items that you will be wanting to enjoy during your stay. It is highly recommended to bring groceries with you on your trip to the U.P.

This is a pet friendly property. Please note there is a pet fee of $100.00 therefore you must disclose you are bringing a pet. Pets are not allowed on the furniture and must be in a crate if ever left unattended.

Bath towels are provided one per guest.
if any extra towels or beach towels are needed please bring them.

We recommend that you bring your own groceries as our grocery store has a limited variety and is more expensive than a national chain.

Great place to stay right next to the beach

We loved our stay! Everything was just as described and the very short walk to everything this little town has to offer was a bonus! We would definitely love to come back again!

The house’s open floor plan works well for bigger groups. Having three full baths was very helpful. The kitchen is well-appointed and the sideboard offers plenty of space for daily items with storage in the cupboards below. The two lazy boy rocker-recliners were perfect for a stay with an infant. Be sure to bring beach towels and, if cooking for an extended stay, perhaps some Tupperware. Use of the garage was very helpful and parking is ample. Best of all is the location—close to the big beach, the harbor, and town. We hope to stay again in 2026!

Communication with Molly is the best experience I've ever had using VRBO! She is on top of things! Check-in was easy and the place is located perfectly for rock hunting, walking downtown and looking for the Northern lights at night. We look forward to staying again.

We had a great time at Molly’s place. The open concept and large dining area made it THE perfect gathering spot on our rainy day. The large deck seating area was perfect on the good days. We had so much fun. It’s THE perfect place to book an escape, because literally everything…beach, Grand Marias shopping area, restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream shop, town children’s playground, museums, marina, it’s all within a short walking distance. I got to talk with Molly over the phone, and she’s an excellent hostess. We highly recommend the “Stone’s Throw.” Almost forgot… there’s a fire ring for a campfire! It was perfect

Great location in Grand Marais!

Great location right between Lake Superior and the bay, and a very short walk to restaurants and shops. Molly is a wonderful host, she’ll make you feel right at home in Grand Marais. She was able to answer all of our questions about the area and make some sightseeing and dining recommendations. A Stone’s Throw is cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for a large family or a few couples. Highly recommend!

Not enough words or time to tell how awesome this place is! 5 minutes from the beach and enough room for a fairly large family! Molly is a great communicator and excellent host! She does all the little things like games for playing and sand tools for kids! Thank you we will be back!

Short stay a short distance from superior

Molly’s property is the closest proximity to superior’s beautiful beach. It might take a whole 2 minutes to walk to the beach. The house is large and roomy; with a very nice side and front deck to enjoy. Molly is extremely helpful with the things to check out locally, she knows her stuff. Would highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable, great location!

Everything was clean and comfortable. It was nice to have 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Fans in each room which was nice and the futon was comfortable as well for sleeping. Kitchen was nice and had plenty of counter space to prepare/serve meals. It was also nice to have a drip coffee maker as well as the K cup. The sensor light between the bedroom off the kitchen and the bathroom/laundry room was a great idea! * If I had 1 thing to recommend, it would be to put a hand rail on the steps that go up to the deck to the dining room as my mom is 86 and was a little difficult for her. It was a very nice place to stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us.

AWESOME HOUSE

We all loved our stay at your place. It's so nice inside. You thought of everything a person might need. We brought items not knowing for sure but didn't need them. The house is so much larger inside than it looks. Decorated so cute. The only problem in cleanliness was short black hairs found in the sink and on the floor in the master's suite. We all have blonde hair. Otherwise spotless. If it's still available next year we will be renting again for sure. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
