Grand Marais, Minnesota, serves as the jewel of Minnesota's North Shore, offering visitors access to Lake Superior's rugged beauty, Boundary Waters wilderness, and authentic Northwoods culture. This charming harbor town attracts outdoor enthusiasts, artists, and travelers seeking wilderness experiences while providing excellent restaurants, local art galleries, and cozy lodging options.

The market is heavily dependent on outdoor recreation and seasonal tourism, with summer rates often 3-4 times higher than off-season rates in this popular North Shore destination.
STRs require an annual Vacation Rental Permit via Cook County’s e-permitting system, with minimal registration requirements (owner information, insurance, water source, etc.); permits expire at year’s end and must be renewed.
