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.

Perfection!
This cottage was so cozy and made our trip so enjoyable. We felt right at home, and it had everything we needed and then some. It was close to many things in town and the beach and a short drive from so many fun things to do in the UP.

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!

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!

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!

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!
