Welcome to the newly-remodeled Historic Hotel Grand Marais, located in the Campbell Street Gallery building, just two blocks west of the white sand beaches of Grand Marais Harbor, two blocks south of the agate beaches of Lake Superior and one block from the heart of downtown. Combining natural beauty, history, fine art and local color, this is a great starting point for exploring Grand Marais and the Upper Peninsula.
The rental features a kitchen, living room, private bath and sleeps up to eight. The renovated historic 1883 building was originally Hotel Grand Marais and a lumber company office. As a tribute to the old growth White Pine forests, which once blanketed the region, wooden exposed walls in the bedrooms show massive boards. The kitchen/living room features a piano bar, where you can sip cool drinks and share conversation as meals are prepared.
The Suite evokes a feeling of yesteryear, simpler times and features original oil paintings of the region, a collection of antique brewery advertising, framed Jim Harrison quotes and two of the original pillars of Historic Hotel Grand Marais.
Owned and operated by landscape and nature painter Maeve Croghan, whose paintings are featured in the Gallery, and stand-up comedian and Belgian-beer tour guide Stu Stuart (Belgian Beer Me! Tours).
Now featuring Wi-Fi, TV and a large video collection for those rainy days.
Also, ask about our deluxe "Governor's Suite," sleeps five, chef's kitchen, view of the harbor, $1795 per week. Limited rental on this particular suite.
Rentals are typically Saturday-to-Saturday. Make your reservation today!

Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000

We also spend a large part of each summer living and working on Mackinac Island. Maeve has a gallery called Maeve's Art and Stu performs his show each week at the Lilac Tree Hotel on Main St. in downtown Mackinac Island. The building is closed in the winter months. During this time, Maeve resides in Northern California and Stu resides in Traverse City, Michigan.
Why the Owner Chose Grand Marais
We purchased this historic building in 2000 because we wanted a vacation home in this beautiful harbor town of Grand Marais, which we had visited many times. With a Herculean effort and plenty of blind ambition, we completely remodeled the building with new plumbing, electrical, paint and overall design, while maintaining its historic and architectural integrity. We are certain you will enjoy its comfort, location and charm.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
Our building features the warm and comfortable Historic Hotel Grand Marais Vacation Rental on the ground floor on the west side. On the east side is a retail space known as Campbell Street Gallery. The Gallery is run by local ceramic artist Jo Klazyk and features Art in Abundance with numerous Great Lakes area artists.
Updstairs is a two-bedroom loft, which is our owners quarters, aka, Governor's Suite, and where we stay when we visit Grand Marais. It features a sweeping view of the bay, a chef's kitchen and a grand master bathroom, and is for rent on a very limited basis. Email for more information.
The name Historic Hotel Grand Marais Vacation Rental is a nod to the past when the building was first built in 1883 and was a hotel and lumber company office.
Located only one block form main street and two blocks to the bay and Lake Superior, it is the perfect location for a relaxing, memorable and fun vacation.
