Roomy two bedroom cottage in Grand Marais, Michigan, on the Lake Superior shore.
The cottage sits on a corner lot that is lined by a white picket fence. Includes both a grill and fire pit, bikes and kayaks and has everything needed for a relaxing stay.
Has A/C, wifi internet, Roku streaming TV, Amazon Echo (Alexa) and blue tooth audio.
An outdoor gas grill, and fire pit on a large lot provides everything needed for outdoor dining and relaxation plus the convenience of restaurants, stores and several beaches that are a five minute walk away!
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.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! Randy was an excellent host and was very helpful helping us figure out some fun stuff to do! We will most definitely be staying again in the future!
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!
We enjoyed this lovely home close to downtown and Lake Superior. You can hear the waves! Host was great with communication. Very clean, very comfortable. Weâll definitely return!
The Mermaid Cottage in Grand Marais was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway in Grand Marais. The cottage is clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. Wonderful location for walking to the beach and restaurants. This was our 2nd stay and look forward to coming back.
The property was very charming (and quiet!), perfect for our group of 4 friends. Itâs 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!
This was our first time using VRBO and it was a wonderful experience! The Mermaid Cottage is such a gem and in a great location to town/beach, will definitely be coming back! We had such a great time :)
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.
We loved our stay in Grand Marais. The house was perfect for our family of four, we loved the town and how easy it was to walk to dinner or the beach. Great place to relax and enjoy the UP!
We have visited a lot of areas no place is like this town! The mermaid house is in a great location we where able to walk to just about anywhere. We got to enjoy a couple campfires and had lots of wonderful famiy time. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
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.
This cottage was so cozy and made our trip so enjoyable. We felt right at home, and it had everything we needed and then some. It was close to many things in town and the beach and a short drive from so many fun things to do in the UP.
A cozy home with all the comforts of home. The house is in a great location. It's an easy walk to the town and the beach. The property manager was very pleasant and informed us of all the amenities. We had a great time and we'll be back!
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.
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.
