About this property

Rare Lake Superior Beachfront 5 Acres, Relaxing and Scenic Getaway

Welcome to the Birch and Beach House! Wake up to your own private stretch of Lake Superior shoreline on a rare 5-acre retreat just minutes from Grand Marais.
This is a one-of-a-kind special property with an expansive sandy beach, panoramic views, and space to truly unwind.
Watch both sunrise and sunset over the lake, explore Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, and trails, then return to quiet, relaxing privacy.
This is where lasting memories are made—a rare Upper Peninsula experience you won’t find anywhere else.
This home does not have central air, although you most likely will not need it with the nice breeze and fresh air off the lake and the large windows and patio door!
Please note this is for the downstairs unit only (see pictures for rooms and bathrooms). *We have another listing for the whole house, including upstairs and basement.

About the host

Hosted by Shane Dreffs

Host profile image
We’re passionate about creating places where people can truly slow down and reconnect—whether that’s with family, friends, or just the peace and quiet of Lake Superior.

With backgrounds in real estate, construction, and hospitality, we’ve put a lot of care into designing this home to feel comfortable, spacious, and memorable—not just a place to stay, but a place you’ll want to come back to.

We love the Upper Peninsula and everything it offers—from the quiet shoreline to the endless outdoor adventure—and we enjoy sharing that experience with our guests.

Our goal is simple: a smooth, stress-free stay and a true 5-star experience from start to finish.

Why they chose this property

Grand Marais is one of the last places on Lake Superior that still feels untouched, quiet, and real.

You’re minutes from Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, hiking trails, and year-round adventure—but without the crowds or noise of more tourist-heavy areas. What makes this location special is the balance: close enough to explore everything, but private enough to truly disconnect.

It’s the kind of place people come back to year after year—and once you experience it, you understand why.

What makes this property unique

This is a rare Lake Superior beachfront retreat set on 5 private acres—a setting that is becoming nearly impossible to find.

From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by expansive sandy shoreline, panoramic lake views, and complete privacy—a true Upper Peninsula experience most properties simply can’t offer.

Step outside from your private downstairs unit and the experience continues—outdoor spaces include a patio, ideal for morning coffee, sunset views, and everything in between.

The property itself is part of the experience: private pond, garden, fruit trees, and abundant wildlife—offering a peaceful, immersive setting that changes with every season.

Days here are spent exploring nearby Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, and trails—or simply enjoying the shoreline. Evenings are unforgettable; bonfires by the water, endless stars, and the sound of waves rolling in.

This is more than a place to stay—it’s where rare experiences and lasting memories are made.
