Vacation Paradise

Wonderful cozy cabin in the lakeside village of Grand Marais. Just a few blocks from downtown and the sand beaches of the West Bay and the Lake Superior. 2 bedroom cabin with everything for a relaxing stay. Nicely appointed with a white picket fence and fire pit has the camping feel with the convenience of a short walk to restaurants, stores and several beaches.

A Week in Grand Marais
The Mermaid Cottage in Grand Marais was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway in Grand Marais. The cottage is clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. Wonderful location for walking to the beach and restaurants. This was our 2nd stay and look forward to coming back.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Vintage Cottage
This house was just perfect for a stay in Grand Marais. It was very well kept and updated but still preserved some of its vintage authenticity. It was walking distance to town and beach. We used the large yard with a fire pit and table. We didn't get a chance to use the bikes and kayaks.

Beautiful Stay in Grand Marais
My husband’s family has been coming to Grand Marais every summer for 50+ years. We really enjoyed staying at the cottage in town this summer as it was perfect for our family of four! It is very cute and functioned well for us. We loved the fenced in back yard for our two young boys. The fire pit was great for campfires in the evening. Would highly recommend staying there!

Cozy, happy house just as pictured
I loved this little house. It is just as pictured, clean and cozy. I would stay again particularly if staying for a longer time where I was in the cottage more. It is well stocked with dishes, towels, dvds and even a little sewing kit in the drawer. Lots of thoughtful touches. The beach is not that far away, and the town is small but nice, it has a grocery, gas, a few restaurants. It was very quiet at night and peaceful. In one room there is a twin bed, and a bunk bed with a bigger lower bed, and in the other room there is a queen (or maybe a double). It was a bit soft on one side but the other side was just fine. The house has a big tv with a roku, wifi that works well, and alexa. There are some games and books in the mud room. There is regular full house heat with a modern thermostat. The kitchen has a really nice gas stove that I'd have love to use (but was just too busy doing things). It is all very clean and bright with some cheerful art on the walls.
