Great location

We stayed for only one night to take in the evening on the beach and day in Grand Marais. The proximity to town was great and the area was very quiet. It was a great place to stay and will certainly book for a wintertime snowmobile trip.

Returning tourists

We came for the beaches, nearby waterfall and lighthouse. We traveled with a dog and liked the quiet neighborhood for walking, and the welcoming feel from shop owners.

Pictured Rocks Home Base

Nice little house...good location east of Pictured Rocks. Really private backyard with woods and fire pit was a nice bonus. But not too far that you feel like your out in the sticks, since Grand Marais is a short drive down the hill. The house has everything we needed. Kitchen is well stocked with all tools. Interestingly the internet didn't work well at all the first night. It wouldn't have been a big deal but we were trying to plan for the next day at Pictured Rocks. But by the next morning, everything was blazing fast and we were able to plan our day.

Great place to lay our heads

The property was good. We found it easily. The rooms were just as expected. We did have a problem with bugs - not sure if that is usual. Also, the toilet seemed to be working due to a paperclip? Then it stopped working. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

Hi! My name is Leslie. Welcome "home" to your vacation spot in Grand Marais, Michigan! I love that my job allows me to help folks relax and rejuvenate in beautiful Grand Marais, my childhood vacation spot (and now home!). I’m fortunate to have built strong relationships both with the homeowners who rent out their houses as well as the families that return year after year for their vacation. If you are looking for an Upper Peninsula getaway, I hope you’ll join us!

What makes this property unique

Easy access to fun and a great rate! Five miles from Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore; less than 1/2 mile to downtown Grand Marais and the the beautiful Grand Marais Harbor of Refuge. Our Harbor of Refuge is a picturesque bay on Lake Superior.
