Ready to un-plug? We invite you to unwind at the Great Escape in Grand Marias, Michigan. This nicely renovated cottage, located on beautiful Lake Superior, will provide the ultimate retreat from your busy life. It is an ideal vacation spot for families with children or couples who enjoy peace and quiet and exploring the great outdoors. With over 100 feet of private frontage, the white sandy beach with views of Pictured Rocks' Grand Sable Dunes is one of the cottage's greatest features. The cottage is situated on a deep lot on Coast Guard Point, but the approximate 125 yard walk to the beach on the dune path is well worth it! Whether you enjoy curling up with a good book, building elaborate sand castles, combing the beach for agates, flying kites, fishing off the break wall, swimming in crystal clear fresh water, paddle boarding or just soaking up the sun, this quiet, secluded beach offers it all. What could be better than ending your day making s'mores by a campfire on the beach, while watching an incredible sunset? Perhaps being the first one up and enjoying your coffee on the beach, pondering the wonders of life! We have no doubt you will leave Grand Marais refreshed, energized and ready to tackle what lies ahead, until your next Great Escape. Accommodations include 2 bedrooms, large sleeping loft with 2 twin beds and 1 bathroom; full kitchen with 20 inch electric range and full sized refrigerator and large farm table that easily seats eight; living and family room with rustic wooden furniture, Tivoli radio with iPOD nano connection. Cottage has tongue and groove pine paneling with a cathedral ceiling in the main living area. There is a large front deck with 4 Adirondack chairs. Driveway allows parking for several vehicles. External electrical outlet is available for an RV. Seasonal property available May 1 thru November 1 only. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the city center - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115840000/115833400/115833378/559e00ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Agate Beach House - waterfront in Grand Marais Grand Marais - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=115833378&PinnedHotelID=115833378&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68700000/68692700/68692643/be78f172.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Plover Retreat - Cute Cabin Close to Town, 5 min. from beach Grand Marais - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 46 reviews CA $232 CA $465 total includes taxes & fees Oct 21 - Oct 22 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=68692643&PinnedHotelID=68692643&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107780000/107770900/107770865/139ac010.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning Cottage across for public Bayshore beach Grand Marais - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=107770865&PinnedHotelID=107770865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76410000/76408300/76408256/d90b6fda.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Stone's Throw from Lake Superior, the bay and downtown pet friendly Grand Marais - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 69 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=76408256&PinnedHotelID=76408256&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110670000/110665500/110665462/220e41d4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Amazing Lake Superior view from Ridge Road w/2 car heated garage, pet friendly Grand Marais - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 46 reviews CA $386 CA $706 total includes taxes & fees Oct 18 - Oct 19 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=110665462&PinnedHotelID=110665462&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100020000/100018500/100018456/4b9bad4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hill House offers a great view, plus it's close to town and dog friendly!

Also, I didn't notice on the listing, but there is no TV. Cell service is spotty at times. Overall, great weekend to disconnect and reconnect. ##### doug l. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary G. Aug 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway Overall we loved our stay at the cabin. Having 6 people in the cabin made the single bathroom tough at times, but we made it work. I wish the water was a little closer as my mother has a hard time walking and couldn’t use the path to the beach, but t was beautiful. The children loved the loft and the kitchen was put to use to make breakfast every morning. Getting re-used to no TV and wi-fi was interesting at times, but we made it work and enjoyed spending time with each other like we did back before we had wi-fi and a TV everywhere. Minor issue was at night what appeared to be 100+ gnats on the bathroom ceiling (May have been due to having bathroom window opened slightly to allow steam from showers out, and the bathroom floor got wet twice which appeared to be from moisture coming from under the sink. Those may want to be looked into, but besides that we would highly recommend for anyone who wants to “unplug” and enjoy all Grand Marais has to offer! :) ##### Mary G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy G., Clarksville, MI Oct 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful & Relaxing Perfect place for unplugging from unnecessary distractions! It was peaceful and relaxing. Loved the Grand Marais Outfitters shop just on the edge of town too! ##### Amy G.
