Contrary to the lower rated reviews, we had a very relaxing and pleasant experience at the MacArthur House. The owners were very friendly, hospitable, and was able to guide us on the area. We stayed in one of the suites and it has a nice view of Lake Superior and included a very relaxing jacuzzi tub. The room was very... more

Very clean home, nice town. However, when the sun came up, we all woke up, window treatments are horrible for blocking outside light. Breakfast was good. Owner barked at us for not disposing of our Sweet & Low package in the garbage can when getting a cup of tea/coffee. Very rude. Paid the bill, never received a thank you or... more

I believe that negative review from 2003 was from when the B&B was under other owners. The owners when we visited were very hospitable and helpful. Attractive premises. Rooms were extremely clean. Everything was in perfect repair. Very quiet. The included breakfast was good and filling. Varied from day to day. A good place for lunch is The Pie Place:... more

Fabulous B&B

We recently stayed at the MacArthur House B &B for five nights while I attended a workshop at the Grand Marais Arts Colony. We could not have picked a nicer, more accomodating place to stay. This B&B was specifically built for this purpose with large rooms and modern appointments. All rooms have private baths, I believe. Some are simple rooms... more

My wife and I often visit the MacArther House B&B. The innkeepers Max and Sherri are a joy to be around and the rooms are very spacious. I'm not a breakfast guy, but I wouldn't miss theirs for anything! We bring new friends up every year and they love it. Compared to other B&B we've been to, this is where... more

What a fantastic place to stay. I'm not much of a B&B'er, but the size and cleanliness of the rooms far surpassed what I ever expected. The breakfast was huge, hearty, delicious, and the Innkeepers Sherry and Max are like family. Highly recommended. more

The MacArthur House was a very enjoyable place to stay. Our hosts were gracious and friendly and the rooms were large, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was especially good. What a treat to go to sleep hearing wolves howling in the distance! more

The town was cute, but the service at the MacArthur House was lousy. The innkeepers look like they did not enjoy what they do. The food was not very good. We cut our stay short and stayed at another inn. more
