What people are saying.

  • "A perfect Airbnb! Claire and Jenner have absolutely *infused* Ham's Haus with care, from the quality of the furnishings to the detailed house manual and thoughtful touches throughout. We travel a lot – and this was the first time we felt completely at home in an Airbnb. (Thank you, Claire and Jenner, for designing and sharing such an awesome place!)"

  • "This was a perfect getaway space! There was no detail missed and the space felt like a Scandinavian dream house. In addition, my dog felt right at home. In fact, he protested getting in the car when it was time to leave. That’s a first! We will definitely be coming back!"

  • "Claire and Jenner really thought through everything with this place. It felt both modern and cozy with many thoughtful touches sprinkled throughout. We loved the heated floors and fireplace, even opted to stay in one day to watch the rain/snow fall while sipping hot cocoa while listening to our favorite music. I especially enjoyed watching the sun rise of Lake Superior every morning while enjoying my Fika coffee. Loved it so much, we'll be back for sure!"

  • "We adored our stay at Ham’s Haus! Every detail was immaculate and the space was so cozy for both humans and furry family members alike. We loved how the space felt secluded but was still close to so many of our favorite North Shore stops! We will be back!"

  • "We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Ham House. Every detail was meticulously designed and they thought of everything. The coffee station was outstanding. The overall design straight out of a magazine. The house guide was perfect. And we brought our two bernedoodles. Dog friendliness was so important for us when booking since we wanted a little vacation with the girls away from the cities. The fenced in yard was perfect in between our hikes and chill evenings. We are already planning our next stay ❤️"

  • "We loved our stay at this cabin! It was exactly as pictured - beautiful details, all the amenities needed for our stay with two kids, and the hosts were responsive. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, and the view was gorgeous. We have already booked our stay for next fall!"

It really felt like home! The views continue to amaze us and every detail of this place is remarkable. We can’t wait to come back!"

  • "Beautiful modern home on the North Shore! Gorgeous fall colors surrounded the property which was incredibly peaceful. The house is well designed with thoughtful details, great amenities and a very welcoming & cozy atmosphere. Its a great location and not too far to go North to Grand Marais, West to the boundary waters, South to Split Rock, etc. You even get a peek at Lake Superior from the vast view of the windows. We had a great relaxing time at Ham House."

We enjoyed spending our mornings and evenings at Ham’s Haus with its luxury appliances and stocked kitchen, large windows and gorgeous surroundings, Sonos speaker and record player, and cozy furniture. Ham’s Haus is centrally located and easy to enjoy Grand Marais, Lutsen, and countless hikes during the day. I would highly recommend staying here and cannot wait to return!"

  • "I can’t say enough about Ham’s Haus. Smart home meets mid-century modern design, in an incredible setting. This was probably my fav Airbnb EVER, and I’ve been all over the world. Made me proud to be a Minnesotan, which is so odd to say! Claire and Jenner literally thought of everything and pulled out all the stops to make sure you LOVE your stay and are super comfortable. I will definitely be back."

  • "An absolute gem of a place - beautifully decorated and perfectly situated for adventures along the North Shore.

We can’t wait to go back!"

  • "This place is wonderful! A modern, comfortable, and roomy spot parked in incredible and accessible wilderness. The quality of the design and execution of the space is second-to-none. It was such a fun experience to have ready access to trails and hikes and amenities and then return to a welcoming and warm and homey place. Exceptional attention to detail in every regard, from comfort to kitchen to bathroom to beds to outdoor spaces and kind little unexpected touches here and there. HIGHLY recommend to anyone. It was a joy to stay at Ham's Haus and we would 100% return."

  • "Absolutely stunning — everything about our experience was perfect. Also so nice that Ham’s was dog friendly! We loved our time here and hope to be back soon!"

  • "Traveling with our dogs makes a vacation more fun and relaxed. Finding a luxurious home that caters to dogs is very rare, so Ham's Haus has become one of our favorites. Communication with hosts Claire and Jenner was easy and very proactive. They provide a detailed handbook that answers every question you might have when staying there. The house is amazing with views of the woods and water. We enjoyed the peaceful setting and slept quite well in the cozy main bedroom. We strongly recommend this property to anyone who needs a quiet, inspiring getaway. Life's short. Indulge yourself. Your pups will thank you."

  • "We had a lovely week in the north woods! Ham’s Haus is more than lodging, it is truly a destination. Beautifully, thoughtfully curated and appointed, we spent days listening to vinyl and watching hummingbirds. An impressively clean and modern smart home! Ham’s Haus feels cozy and personal while still being absolutely chic. We felt cared for by responsive hosts who clearly love their property. We are now spoiled."

  • "Ham’s Haus is the perfect North Shore getaway. Quiet, peaceful, and surprisingly luxurious. (And dog-friendly, to boot!) Claire & Jenner have thought of absolutely every detail. This cabin is a dream - book it, it’s worth every penny."

  • "Ham’s Haus was a perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. The house is nestled in a heavily wooded area with floor to ceiling windows allowing bright light and unobstructed views of the forest and Lake Superior in the distance. The interior is just like the pictures - modern and with smart appliances. You can tell that they put thought into the design of the house from the inside out. I especially liked the fenced in potty area for my dog, and the front porch with retractable screens to keep the bugs out. Also, there are heated floors and a built in speaker system! Claire and Jenner were very responsive, especially given that they were on their honeymoon. The house guide was super helpful too. We come up North every year and know all the trails. This time we just did short outings and spent most of our time relaxing at Ham’s Haus. Thanks again! Would definitely recommend. 👍🏻"
