A very good place to stay. It was perfectly located to serve as a jump point for whatever you may want to do in the area. We liked having the beach within a 2 minute drive as well as most of the local restaurants. The place was roomy for a family of 3. I'd recommend staying here.

This cottage was great! By far the best cottage we have stayed at in Grand Marais. Our family was so comfortable here. The yard and firepit is perfect for roasting smores, stargazing, and as my girls say ...chillin out. The bicycles were the biggest hit. We rode to town multiple times. My parents have a bench dedicated to them in the campground. So pleased that we could walk over anytime from the cottage and just sit there and watch Lake Superior. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Overall, this cottage is very charming and we enjoyed our stay very much. It is an older house, so expect some quirkiness like sloping floors, but also expect character and charm. Location is great for walking to town, coffee, restaurants and the beach, of course. Great jumping off point to explore Pictured Rocks. We enjoyed many of the cottage's thoughtful and useful amenities such as the bikes, dvd movies, and the kayak! We also appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage, the comfy beds, and the plentiful towels (including beach towels)! This was our first VRBO experience and everything went very smoothly for us before, during, and after the rental.

The property was very charming (and quiet!), perfect for our group of 4 friends. It’s located close to many amazing natural attractions and beautiful beaches. The bikes and kayaks on site gave us plenty to do. We hope to visit again!

Great Location

This is the 3rd time my sister and I have stayed at Vacation Paradise. We come to Grand Marais annually to hunt for rocks. We love that the house is within walking distance to all the restaurants in town. Vacation Paradise is so comfortable and decorated nicely with a beach theme.

The Hill Sisters

My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay in Grand Marais for the UP 200 dog sled race. We have been attending the race for years but this year was the absolute best at the Mermaid House. Great sister memories were made. Lots of snow, perfect UP winter!

About the host

Hosted by The Becker Kids

Host profile image
Our large family is native to Grand Marais. We all enjoyed growing up by the big lake.

Why they chose this property

The location is just 2 short blocks to the beach or the downtown area. Grand Marais is on the Eastern edge of the sand dunes of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore with all varieties of water and hiking activities just minutes away.

What makes this property unique

The large backyard has seating around a fire pit, outdoor table and chairs and gas grill. A short (approximate 900 ft) walk gets you to the bay or Lake Superior. It is also a short walk to all of the downtown shops.
