Escape to 20 acres of pure UP bliss

Enjoy this Rustic getaway, in the beautiful town of Grand Marais! Less than a mile from the bay and the quaint shops in the village town. This location is prime for day trips to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! With a large yard to run and play, full of apple trees and the simplicity of the UP. Head to the Log-slide, Chapel Beach, Mosquito Beach, Miners Castle, check out Sable Falls, and walk the shoreline. Sand Dunes, waterfalls, the possibilities are endless.

Very homey cabin!
I wasn’t sure about the dark cabin decor online but when we got there, we loved it! Great windows! Kids enjoyed the bunk room with their own TV. Nice quiet country spot.

Peaceful Stay
We enjoyed our stay here with so many windows to look out at nature. We saw a doe and two spotted fawns. The location was ideal for our many travels. We found our way the The Dream Bean Machine each day for a morning beverage and fresh from the oven pastry! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Great cabin
Overall a great place to stay. We would definitely rent again. Location is perfect. The only suggestion we would have is to add curtains to the bunk bedroom and the 2nd bathroom. It was a little weird not having any. We actually hung a sheet over window in the bathroom.

Private, Semi-secluded, and quiet
We got comfortable right away! Love all the wndows, firepit, outside places to sit. Didn't lack a thing. Only drawback was not bright enough lights. We would come back, but bring a light for the one bedroom, which is unusually dark.

Picture Rocks vacay
This property was charming and very comfortable. I scattered some of my Dad's ashes at Picture Rocks in 2020 and we wanted to return this year to 'visit'. The cottage was charming and comfortable for everyone in my family which ranges in age from 1 yr. old to myself and my wife in our late 30s. The wifi was impeccable so my wife and older sons were able to communicate with college/work/school while my younger kids were able to play in the large yard. The owner's were very understanding when we were an hour late checkiing out due to a flat tire. I am looking forward to staying here again next year. Thank you!

Rustic
First, the good: the neighborhood is quiet, the setting beautiful, the bathrooms new-ish and clean, the cabin is a unique and charming combo of two cabins put together, the views out the back are beautiful. The host was very responsive and helpful when we had trouble lighting the heater. The wi-fi and roku worked well. The not-so good--the main bedroom is very dark and has a musty odor, the mattresses in both rooms are pretty uncomfortable. Though the setting is very pretty the cabin was a bit too rustic for me.

An amazing property at an equally amazing and quiet location
If you don't have herd mentality and trust your instinct, this place you will find an amazing jewel in UP. Not far from beach/water but at very quiet location and property itself, trust the online pics don't do justice to what an amazing interior this has! Thoroughly enjoyed the rustic look, the layout, the interior done tastefully, all the amenities and didn't feel like away from home! We had in the group elderly in their 80s to youngest being 3Y and everyone had fun. Just loved it and will return for sure. While getting to the property know that, the house number plate is by the road and you got to drive little bit to get to the house, we were there in the night so property wasn't as visible from the main road but in day time, you can easily spot it.

Good Home Base for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Its a beautiful piece of land, in the evening deer would come and eat apples from the orchard. The building itself consists of an old little wood cabin (now master bedroom & bathroom) around which the rest of the rooms is build around. For people with house dust mite allergy we cannot recommend -

Rustic
It's a nice quiet home. Sits back away from the road. It does need better mattresses on the beds. They are very hard. Especially the queen bunk beds. Definitely needs window coverings in the 2nd bedroom and bathroom by the kitchen. That's just common sense.

Everything You Could Want in a UP Cabin!
We stayed at the property two nights hoping to both rockhound on Lake Superior’s shores as well as stargaze and try to see the Northern Lights. We loved sitting and identifying the different birds we saw/ heard, as well as seeing a meteor and deer feeding right from the front door of the property. The property was spacious, yet cozy and well outfitted, which makes a huge difference in the UP- the washer/dryer and dishwasher were well appreciated and we loved looking at all the rocks in the fireplace/ shower area.

Everything very nice. Problems were a squeaky bunk bed; no curtains in bedroom where the sun came in early in the morning and woke occupants; difficulty with stove burners not turning on. Good response from owner, but not completely fixed.

My UP Bliss
We had a very nice time in the UP. Our cabin/house was perfect. I could not have asked for a more equip cabin/house. Close to the water and not far from other attractions. We had a Great time and would love to do it again. I think I would add an Orchard house guests book to write about the time we had. A great way to share experences with others.

What a great property! Reminded us of the cottages we spent summers at as kids. Everything we needed for our stay and 5 minutes to the village and beach, and easy access to all kinds of adventures within an hours’ drive. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

We had a comfortable stay here. Close to town. Well stocked. No curtains kinda freaked us out a bit and stove burners weren’t all working but overall fine. Owner very helpful and responsive. Saw a bear just down the road which was cool yet Scary.

Great place
Property is beautiful and location was perfect for us. We had deer and bears in the yard which was great other than they get into the trash. House had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. House was very clean and unique. We love rustic places and this fit well, but if you don’t you may not be happy. We will be returning. The host was also very accommodating so thank you.
