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.

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.

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.

Sister Vacation

My sister and I like to go to the UP every year to enjoy some cold weather. The house was just as described. Charming, cozy and comfortable. Beds were great and we liked having the two couches to lounge. Communication with host was excellent. So close to the lake. We loved it. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short due to incoming ice storm. Host was gracious enough to refund a couple days even though he was not obligated to. Thanks so much for sharing your home. Definitely will be back.

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!

Beautiful!

We loved the spacious yard where we could eat our meals al fresco and while away the afternoons reading in the sun when we weren't taking short walks to the beach or getting ice cream a few blocks away. The Mermaid house is well situated and well appointed for a week in the upper peninsula's best village.

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.
