Grand Marais Getaway

The property was very charming (and quiet!), perfect for our group of 4 friends. It’s located close to many amazing natural attractions and beautiful beaches. The bikes and kayaks on site gave us plenty to do. We hope to visit again!

Great Location

This is the 3rd time my sister and I have stayed at Vacation Paradise. We come to Grand Marais annually to hunt for rocks. We love that the house is within walking distance to all the restaurants in town. Vacation Paradise is so comfortable and decorated nicely with a beach theme.

The Hill Sisters

My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay in Grand Marais for the UP 200 dog sled race. We have been attending the race for years but this year was the absolute best at the Mermaid House. Great sister memories were made. Lots of snow, perfect UP winter!

Nice place to stay

This was a nice house to stay at. Very close to the beach, which is what we were there for. We did not use them, but they had kayaks and bikes available. The yard was a decent size and good for the kids to play in.

We loved this house for our recent stay! The house was immaculately clean, had lots of fun amenities, and everything you could need. We loved the board games for a rainy Fourth of July day, and we kayaked all over the bay!

Lovely little cottage!

We definitely found the Mermaid Cottage perfect for our trip exploring the UP, especially visits into the Pictured Rocks Nat Seashore. We enjoyed the fun vibe of the cottage and all the personal touches. It is very well equipped and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend it!

Beautiful!

We loved the spacious yard where we could eat our meals al fresco and while away the afternoons reading in the sun when we weren't taking short walks to the beach or getting ice cream a few blocks away. The Mermaid house is well situated and well appointed for a week in the upper peninsula's best village.

Perfect Vacation Week

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Cottage in Grand Marais! The cottage was very comfortable with all the amenities we needed! Very clean and everything was just like it is listed. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The location is absolutely perfect for walking to the beach, to get coffee at the Dream Machine, and pizza at the GM Tavern. We loved it so much we have already booked next year!
