Tired of computers, e-mail, 24 hour news and over-scheduling? 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.
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. 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 and 1 bathroom, full kitchen with new appliances and large farm table that easily seats eight, living and family room with rustic wooden furniture, a gas stove fireplace and 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.

My wife and I and our two teenagers have been renting cabins in the U.P. for over 15 years and we all agree that The Great Escape was our favorite! The location was perfect. We made day trips to Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Seney National Wildlife Refuge, and even Marquette, where we have family. Most days were spent on the beach searching for rocks and soaking up the sun or just reading and relaxing in the cabin. Your cabin is larger than it looks from the outside and the pictures don't do it justice. The furnishings and decor were perfect and the stone and tile shower were beautiful. We watched the July 4th fireworks from the front deck, and enjoyed watching the sunset over beautiful Lake Superior every evening. We left the window over our bed open every night just so we could listen to waves crashing on the shore. Grand Marais is a peaceful, hidden gem of the U.P. We didn't want to leave when our week was over, and we plan on making a return trip next summer!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.
