This place is perfection. The inn keepers are extremely friendly, the food is delicious, and the other guests are a hoot! My fiancé and I just can't stop talking about how much fun we had during our Grand Marais visit, and I keep craving the peach french toast we were served on our second morning. MacArthur house is just a... More

We spent two nights at the MacArthur House B&B, a great location for exploring the quaint town of Grand Marais. It was lovely to walk a few blocks into town and enjoy spectacular views of Lake Superior and truly fine dining, wonderful art galleries, and an adorable independent book store. The rooms were spacious and the beds were phenomenally comfortable.... More

We stayed one night at this B&B. The owner was very welcoming and gave us ideas on where to eat a great dinner. We had the whole 3rd floor of the house to ourselves. The bedroom and bathroom were very large and nicely decorated. The view from our window was great! We could see Lake Superior. There was a separate... More

Stayed there during the Fisherman's Picnic. Superior bed and breakfast. Located 4 blocks from downtown Grand Marais, it was within easy walking distance downtown with lots of good restaurants and bars. The room was spacious and clean, not to mention the view of Lake Superior. Breakfast was excellent every day and Max & Sherri were wonderful hosts. Thank you for... More

We had a very nice stay at the MacArthur house recently. It wasn't exactly what we were expecting from a property on the North Shore but the inn keepers were very gracious and the property is very well maintained and run efficiently. Plusses: very clean, close to downtown, easygoing hosts, coffee ready at 6 am, easy checkin and checkout. Negatives:... More

A fantastic place to stay. Max and Sherri are wonderful hosts , nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are incredible and we had one of the smaller ones. The breakfasts are to die for and the communal dining makes for an interesting time sharing stories from around the world. Use of the comfortable lounge and all the facilities make... More

We stayed here for four days, three nights in July 2011 and really enjoyed ourselves. This place is super clean, welcoming and beautiful. We stayed in the Birch room on the first floor and had a lovely garden right outside our windows. They have cable TV, which was a surprise! I took lots of photos of the Harbor Suite on... More

If you're looking for one of those quaint old houses where you can't turn around without knocking some knick-knack off a shelf, this is NOT your place! The home is newer and designed as a B&B. It's also spotless. There are suites, but we chose the budget option - a single room with attached bathroom - and were quite comfortable.... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at MacArthur House. It is unusual in that the building was designed as a B&B. It is not a retrofitted old house. The place is spotless, the rooms are large and in some cases immense. The hosts are gracious and welcoming and always there. The breakfasts are first rate and are served to all... More
