    Tamarack House on Lake Superior

    Tamarack House is a cozy, family friendly house on private Lake Superior lot in Hovland, 20 minutes past the amazing town of Grand Marais. The house offers two inviting, comfortable bedrooms upstairs with king and queen beds, one with a designated work space. The downstairs provides a rec room, queen bed and twin over full bunk beds. The upstairs living and dining open to full Lake Superior views - relax and take it all in. The owners enjoy spending time here with their kids and dogs and hope you do the same.

    The house provides a wonderful place to relax & take in the big lake, or can be a good base for exploring inland hikes and canoeing - ideally a bit of both! It is equipped with board games & puzzles, art supplies for kids, books for adults & kids & two TVs with Roku’s for access to streaming services. Outside your door there is a beach for all your stone throwing needs. A fire pit is nestled along the shore to take in sunsets and enjoy the scenery. Adequate firewood is provided.

    The Arrowhead Trail, which has access to pristine inland lakes is just a couple miles down Hwy 61. Bring your canoe, kayak or fishing boat and go explore! Judge C. Magney State Park is known for the Devils Kettle hike, and farther up Hwy 61 is High Falls, just before the Canadian border. The house is also just 20 min from Grand Marais which is home to an unbeatable harbor, an amazing art community & numerous local shops & restaurants worth checking out.

    Two things to note incase they are a must for your party - there is no dishwasher, and drinking / cooking water is provided in a 13 gallon container in the kitchen as well as more downstairs if needed. This is due to the lake draw well the house uses. Running water can be used for showering or doing dishes but can appear slightly yellow/brown due to sediment from the lake.

    Sounds of the ocean and stars of a planetarium
    Excellent place that offers relaxing sounds and artistic neighbors we are enchanted. Not far away from Grand Portage gems and the Canadian border this was what everyone needed for a weekend getaway. Best part was our cell phones did not work which gave us more time to bond and have meaningful conversations.

    Fall stay at Tamarack House
    We so enjoyed our stay at Tamarack House. It is a great location for the activities we want to do in the area. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen,dining ,living area is great for eating and relaxing. We love being right by Lake Superior and having campfires at night. Being able to bring our dogs is greatly appreciated. We hope to stay here again in the future.

    Great location
    The house is super cozy and made our 9 person group feel at home. The water situation was manageable but a bit more work though the owner was very clear about this in the description. We absolutely loved our stay but the 1 bathroom was a bit of a challenge. Would also recommend replacing the front door as its not square and the gaps let in mosquitoes. That constructive criticism aside, we'll be back!

    Beautiful Place
    Beautiful property on shores of Lake Superior! Very clean, quiet and great location to many activities. We didn’t find ourselves needing anything during our stay, and furniture/beds very comfortable. Property host very responsive, and easy to check in/out. Special place if you are looking for a getaway from all the hustle and bustle.

    Birding weekend
    Three of us spent a terrific long weekend at this property. During the daylight hours we were exploring Cook county especially interesting birds. At night the lullaby of Lake Superior waves made sleep easy Very pleased with the property
