Grand Marais is a little slice of mother nature's best in all 4 seasons. All photos are at the house or within a 40-mile radius, to give you an idea of the beauty surrounding. We have a waterfront home with private beach, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6), 1.5 baths, and wrap around deck.

We’re in the perfect location, you can spend your days on the property relaxing on your own private beach, paddling in the bay (kayaks are provided), swimming, boating/sailing and having campfires. We’re within walking distance of the shops and restaurants downtown, Agate Beach on the big water (great for rock hunting!), and the North Country Trail.
If you would like to go exploring, we’re located at the eastern end of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where you can enjoy gorgeous hikes along the sandy dunes, magnificent sandstone cliffs, teal blue lake superior water, picturesque waterfalls, inland lakes, and northwood forests of maples, birches, pines, and hemlocks. The Grand Marais area is also home to legendary trout streams. Located 30 miles to the south is the Seney National Wildlife Refuge with over 200 bird species, 26 fish species, and 50 mammals—a wildlife photographer’s dream. Grand Marais is located on the ATV/ORV trail 8. Access to the garage for ATV/ORV overnight storage can also be arranged. No matter how you want to spend your summer vacation, we have it all.
In autumn, the surrounding hardwood forests turn magnificent orange, yellow and reds with contrasting evergreens and paper-white birch trees. The weather is great for hiking, biking, photographing, riding on the motorized trails and more. It is very peaceful.

When the snow flies, there’s an abundance of activities to enjoy here: scenic snowshoeing, X country skiing, dog sledding, fat tire biking and snowmobiling are amazing in the area. Our house serves as the perfect, cozy home base to come back to after you’ve spent a day out in the cold. There is new fireplace with a gas stove just in time for winter! We’re conveniently located near the Crazy 8’s snowmobile trails (#8, #88, and #888) as well as trail #443. Snowmobiles are available to rent right in Grand Marais, or if you bring your own, we have a heated garage to store your sleds and gear in at night. The bay, our home is on the shore of, is an ice fishing hotspot. Whatever your winter getaway entails, our warm and comfortable house is in the center of it all. Trailer parking on site and you can ride to trail (very close!), no need to go to trail heads with trailers for the day.
Any time of the year, our home serves as a perfect retreat with a fabulous view, nestled in the trees, situated on the harbor.

NOTE: COVID Safety: We have a strict sanitizing regiment and thoroughly clean and disinfect every nook and cranny of our home between renters with CDC recommended products. Put your mind at ease in this safe haven, away from crowds.

    Robin went above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience. We appreciate her attention to detail and friendly, helpful disposition. The VRBO we rented was perfect for a girls getaway weekend. Thanks for everything Robin! We will certainly be in touch.

    This cottage is everything a traveler could wish for! The lake is just steps away from the front door. The cottage was clean and well stocked with all the items we might need. A true gem in Grand Marais!

    Came up for a long weekend of snowmobiling. Place is as advertised. Robin & Bill are great hosts. Heated garage and sauna were both great bonus options! Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Robin & bill.

    It's been a hard summer medically for us. This brought us more peace than we have had for awhile. The beauty of the bay in front of us, the breeze through the tree leaves and just the calmness was perfect. We will come back here.

    We were so impressed with this lovely cottage home on the water! It was clean, so beautifully decorated, and cozy. The location could not be beat, as we could walk right onto the private beach and/or into town in a matter of minutes! The beds were comfy and the living space so cozy. Robin was a wonderful host and was very helpful when we had questions about the area. The thoughtful welcome note, along with some local goodies upon arrival really set the tone for the most wonderful stay. We hope to be back! Thank you!

    Our family had a wonderful stay in the little town of Grand Marais. The house is right on the bay and it is so relaxing to sit out on the deck and watch the boats and the beautiful sunrises.

    We loved our stay here, it felt private and secluded but at the same time it is within walking distance to food, beaches, and coffee! The home has so many magical touches that made it incredibly convenient. We just loved our time there!

    As our first trip to the UP and randomly choosing Grand Marais and this home to stay in, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. House is cute, clean and fully equipped with everything you need. The view is gorgeous and water access is a few footsteps away. Robin left some local goodies as a welcome gift and stopped by to introduce herself and had some helpful tips for us. This was just the getaway our family needed. Lots of wonderful memories made this week!

    Everything was amazing. The views. The hikes. The people were so nice. Robin and Bill were excellent hosts. The house was clean and very welcoming. We will be back for sure. Bring groceries or stop an hour or two before you arrive. Not much to choose from on groceries, and it’s $$. For anything last minute, go to the Bayshore gas station. Much better than the Superior Market. Overall awesome trip.
