My friend and I had decided to travel on a whim without much planning. I had seen this B&B on tripadvisor.com before leaving and jotted down their phone number. On the night we decided to land in Grand Marais we gave Max and Sherri a call. They accommodated our late arrival, made sure we ate dinner before everything had closed,... More

This was our fourth visit to MacArthur House. We were so excited that our family purchased us a two night stay! As always, the place was beautiful and our room was perfect. Max and Sherri are the best and we love how welcoming and considerate they are to our needs. Both of our breakfast were awesome! We can't wait to... More

Had a chance to check out MacArthur House this past President's Day weekend and will definitely recommend it to all! The house is very neat, clean, spacious and quiet. The owners/hosts Max & Sherri could not have been more welcoming and kind. The best part was the delicious breakfasts that I enjoyed. It's a short walk (in any weather) to... More

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
