Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Taylor P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen L. Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jen L.
