Perfect for our Family

Very nice accommodation and the bunk house worked out great! Very quick and easy access to downtown Grand Marais which is a wonderful small town. Equal distance that we could go to Tahquamenon Falls one day and the Pictured Rocks boat tour the next. Highly recommend staying here.

The house was clean and well decorated. The best part was having a bunk house for my son and his friends to stay in. It was nice having the garage too. It was great having the extras stocked in the kitchen and the TV set up ready to go. Nice and close to the small town of Grand Marais.

Nice home for a small family trip

Family trip with the kids for their first UP experience, home was great for the 3 older kids. They enjoyed that the bunk house was separate from the main house so they could stay up later and not wake up the baby. We enjoyed making a fire in the fire pit out back! Not a crazy drive to Munising to show them Pictured Rocks and enjoy 4th of July fireworks! Grand Marais itself is a small little town, so be prepared to not see a regular grocery store on the outside! We enjoyed our trip though and the house made our stay comfortable!
