Property details

Agate Bay, a stunning property on the shores of Lake Superior, offers the seclusion of the North Shore with close proximity to the lively community of Grand Marais, Minnesota. Featuring three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, Agate Bay is only one mile from the heart of the most dynamic town on the North Shore. And in case you were wondering, we call this home Agate Bay because it comes with access to a private cobblestone beach, a known area by hunters of the elusive Lake Superior Agate. And while a private beach is one feature, it is just the beginning. The home features a large living area on the main floor, including a kitchen with all the accessories you’ll need to prepare a homemade meal. The many rivers and lakes nearby are full of walleye, trout, and other coveted North Woods fish, meaning you’ll have ample opportunities to prepare a fresh fish fry right on the property. A spacious dining room and sun-filled lounge area offer outstanding views of Lake Superior. In addition, a large deck located off the lounge area and the master bedroom is perfectly situated for views of evening sunsets over the Big Lake. The recently renovated lower level of the home includes a family room, game table, and a supplemental kitchenette. As the world’s largest freshwater lake is known to spark the creative spirit, a magnificent art area with a focus on the younger generations is nestled on the lower level. Also found on the lower level is arguably the greatest dart room in the state of Minnesota. With the feel of a natural cave, this dart room takes the gaming experience to a new level! This Home is Pet Friendly! There is a 2-pet maximum.

Just down Highway 61 is the picturesque Grand Marais Harbor and iconic Artist’s Point. In addition, the downtown area features numerous restaurants, shops, and other destinations that are all locally owned and operated. Agate Bay is also the perfect starting point to access the Gunflint Trail and numerous state parks boasting the state’s most stunning waterfalls. Please Note: The photos for this property were taken in the summer months when Lake Superior's water level is low. During the winter and spring months, when water levels are higher, the size of the accessible beach area will be smaller. We cannot predict exactly when water levels will be highest or lowest, but typically mid-summer will have the lowest levels. the property manager requires a Rental Agreement to be filled out Minimum age to book this property is : 18

This place is a slice of North Shore heaven! We had a great trip and the location was divine. Super close to town and realistically could have walked if we had opted for it. Grand Marais is a quintessential lake town filled with lovely/friendly locals and doesn’t feel too crowded! Absolutely stunning area filled with all sorts of adventures! Cozy place that had a home away from home feel. Beach is incredible and our bonfire night lived up to the hype. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place to stay - the cabin was very comfortable. Many “small touches” that made our stay fun. So much to do in the area! Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Absolutely lovely! Lovely location (5 minutes from the downtown of Grand Marais and close to so much hiking!), extremely clean, and beautiful views. We didn’t spend all that much time in the house since we were out and about during the day, but all the time spent there was so enjoyable. Very much loved the bear film too. My only “complaint” is that it’s not as private of an area as it appears in the photos, there’s neighbors pretty close on both sides. However, that’s me being a knit-picky introvert. Definitely recommend and would stay again!
