We had a great stay at the Mariner’s cottage. The pictures don’t really do it justice—it’s really big, ample seating, 4 large bedrooms, and a very well-stocked kitchen.

Charming cottage with view of the bay

A perfect location from which to explore Grand Marais and Pictured Rocks. Easy walk to town and beaches. Cottage was clean, inviting, and had plenty of space for our family to socialize. We spent lots of time rocking on the porch swing just enjoying the scenery. Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Hope to make it back to Grand Marais again sometime soon!

Perfect house!

We had a group of 7 (two families of parents and young adult kids). This was the perfect house for us. Nice privacy in the bedrooms, cute decor, and very clean. Location can't be beat! Just a short walk to town, the bay, and the big lake beach. Highly recommend!!

Awesome Spot in Grand Marais

This house was perfect for our family of 8 …. Enough rooms and very spacious. Another shower would have been nice, but it didn’t make/break the trip. The view of the bay and the very short walk to the Big Lake made this location primo!

Amazing location, fabulous views

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Easy access to Grand Marais Beach, downtown & Dream Bean Machine coffee shop. Loads of space & seating areas in the house. Queen bedrooms both have ceiling fans, but rest of the house could use some fans for better circulation.

What a wonderful place to stay! We had never been to the Grand Marais area and very much enjoyed the home and relaxing on the porch, walking the beach and getting coffee across the street at the cute cafe. The home is nicely appointed with 4 bedrooms and 5 beds, a beautiful living room and dining room and a bath and half. everything was as described and we were so thankful to find such an ideal place to use as a home base as we explored the area. We would definitely love to book this home again if we should come back, and we cannot wait to do so! Thank you to the hosts for having us! Highly recommended!

Beautiful lakeside home in a Serene location

We absolutely loved the location of this home. The host was quick to respond and had taken every effort to keep the home well equipped. The rooms were big and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had some basic spices. A dish washer in the kitchen would have been helpful. The washing machine and dryer were super useful especially since the kids went to the beach everyday. The bathrooms were clean and had hot water available. The hostess had also stocked shampoo and conditioner with lots of beach towels. The decor in the house was also beautiful! Lots of local photographs. The host had kept a file with local information. The view from the living room was gorgeous as was the patio outdoors with the song . There’s a small fireplace and a grill ( we didn’t have the time to use either). The location is perfect whether you want to go towards the Log Slide or Pictured rock or the Tahquamenon falls. The night sky was gorgeous as was the access to the beach for sunset. The town is idyllic and the people friendly. Overall had a fabulous stay at the Mariner’s cottage at Grand Marais MI.
