This B&B is a new building designed from the ground up to be a B&B. (As opposed to a home converted to that use.) The building is brand new. The rooms are large and immaculately maintained. Some have lake views. The breakfast is expertly prepared and sticks with you. The couple who run it are there because they wanted to... More

We have stayed here several times and have enjoyed every stay. The house is large and welcoming and the rooms very nicely appointed. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are very good and the dining area is spacious and very bright. Max and Sherri are great hosts and the location is excellent for exploring Grand Marais and the... More

The MacArthur House is a wonderful B&B. It is located a quiet street near the heart of the city. The hosts Max and Sherri are excellent and make you feel very welcome. The breakfasts are perfect. I stayed in the Alaska which has a beautiful vaulted ceiling. I would recommend this B&B to anyone attending a coarse at the North... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at the MacArthur House! Max was a wonderful host, and his breakfasts were delicious without overloading us before an active day. The Superior Room was large and clean, and the neighorhood was quiet but close to the heart of town. And they are "green" in how they run the business, even composting their kitchen... More

I think that the other 4 and 5 star reviewers pretty much captured the essence of this place. It is very clean, modern, and the common spaces are very nice. We thought that the breakfast was quite good and perhaps a pleasant change to the "graze and go" breakfast buffets. They cooked a pre-determined full breakfast - and then served... More

We have stayed in this B&B owned by Max and Sherri many times (it happens that it has always been in the fall of the year). Always a great experience, clean, quiet and great breakfast. Also they are both wonderful people.

We have stayed here with Max and Sherri many times...always excellent! We have stayed in every room except one...all clean, comfy, and with the extras to pamper! Don't expect this...but one time my sis and I were the only guests and so we talked Max into a private violin concert while we ate breakfast! Like I said...don't expect it...Max is... More

We stayed on the 3rd floor suite, clean comfortable private and quiet. Would stay there again if in Grand Marais. Breakfast was delicious. The lack of air conditioning was not a problem as the temp outside will drop at night.

We chose to stay in the Alaska room for our one night stay in Grand Marias. The room was very quiet, clean, and comfortable. We liked that the room inclued a small fridge. Max and Sherri are very nice hosts who made us feel welcome. It is also within in walking distance to restaurants. Note: There is no air conditioning... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at MacArthur House over the 4th for 3 nights. Although it rained for most of 2 of the 3 days we couldn't have been happier with our accomadations. We stayed in the Harbour suite and would highly recommend it. Large room, very clean, nice two person jacuzzi that we used every... More
