Music makers' cottage

Welcome to the Music Maker. All the charm and lots of comfort, plus outdoor furniture too! This cute, comfortable cottage is located on Coast Guard Point (f/k/a Canal Street), the peninsula that forms the northwestern edge of breath taking Grand Marais Harbor. Take a stroll right out the back door to Agate Beach which is a short walk across the small sandy dunes. Cool off in the crisp clear waters of Lake Superior. Later walk or ride your bikes into town for dinner, ice cream or a little shopping. Then head back to your beach retreat and take in one of our famous Lake Superior Sunsets. Verizon phone service is recommended if you want to use data in the area, but the Cottage is now equipped with WiFi.

So pack your summer gear (Don't forget the sun screen!) and head for a relaxing stay at the Music Makers Cottage in beautiful Grand Marais. This cottage is not a winter rental...sorry. Spring, Summer and Fall only.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Music Maker's Cottage! The local up on the point and just over the sand to Lake Superior was amazing. Also withing walking distance to town and other beaches. The property was clean and as described, cozy and welcoming, but with enough room for 4 of us to spread out and have our space. Having a washer and dryer onsite was a big plus during a weeklong vacation. The main bed and mattress was super comfy! This location is within a real short drive of several waterfalls and hiking trails in Pictured Rocks, and not a long drive from Paradise (Tahquamenon Falls), Munising (Pictured Rocks boat tours), and Manistique (Kitch-iti-kipi). No complaints, no problems, and we would stay here again! Thanks, Susan.

If Music Makers was for sale, and I was a millionaire, I would buy it. But, its not for sale and I'm not a millionaire, so thank you for letting me know what rich people feel like! Hope we can come back next year.

Cozy Cottage!!
This rental was such a beautiful, cozy cottage on such a pretty beach! It was the perfect size for just the two of us and we loved the little wood burning furnace. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The town nearby is adorable and it was so peaceful and quiet here. We will definitely be back! Susan was wonderful! The check in and check out processes were very easy. She even helped us out of a sticky situation late at night on our last night there! I would highly recommend staying here and checking out the nearby national park!

October 2023 Stay
This was our second time we stayed at the cottage. Loved sitting outside by a fire in the evening. Walking along the shore of Lake Superior is always breathtaking. Liked that the hand held shower attachment is now available! Thought that the bed was a little hard for sleeping. There are trees growing against the cottage on the sides and also in the front in-between the pine trees. I would recommend taking these out for risks of structural damages to the foundation and in the front, the trees are around the power lines and could lead to power outages due to broken lines during storms.

This was a great location, although we couldn't see the lake we could definitely hear it. The sky at night was beautiful with the Perseus meteor shower and the Milky Way putting on a good show.

Comfortable and cozy cottage
Not sure about property next door - No one was there so it was very private for us. Enjoyed the oil paintings and relaxing decor. The best was the wonderful beach and the variety of rocks - even found an agate! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your special place.

Very nice area of Grand Marias. They own a nice sized piece of footage along Lake Superior. The dunes in front of the home aren't to difficult to navigate. However, it is a short walk to the lake. Excellent workout for your legs though! There are many board games and movies for rain days. The rock hunting is fantastic! We found many agates and yooperlites along the shore. Also included with the property, was an in depth binder of the area's must do attractions and restaurants. Very helpful for Grand Marias newbies.

We love Grand Marais and Lake Superior. This cottage gave us easy access to both. We were able to walk anywhere we needed to go but enjoyed taking our Jeep on rides in the area. On rainy days there were movies and games to enjoy. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Good location
The only issue I had, was the trail to the beach. We were yooper light hunting in the evening and we could not find the trail back to the cottage as there’s nothing marking the trail and we could not see the cottage from the beach. I ended up getting yelled at by a neighbor as we had accidentally crossed her property, searching for the cottage. I suggest a fluorescent marker or solar light to mark the entrance to the path.
