About this property

Music makers' cottage

Welcome to the Music Maker. All the charm and lots of comfort, plus outdoor furniture too! This cute, comfortable cottage is located on Coast Guard Point (f/k/a Canal Street), the peninsula that forms the northwestern edge of breath taking Grand Marais Harbor. Take a stroll right out the back door to Agate Beach which is a short walk across the small sandy dunes. Cool off in the crisp clear waters of Lake Superior. Later walk or ride your bikes into town for dinner, ice cream or a little shopping. Then head back to your beach retreat and take in one of our famous Lake Superior Sunsets. Verizon phone service is recommended if you want to use data in the area, but the Cottage is now equipped with WiFi.

So pack your summer gear (Don't forget the sun screen!) and head for a relaxing stay at the Music Makers Cottage in beautiful Grand Marais. This cottage is not a winter rental...sorry. Spring, Summer and Fall only.

Perfect location for exploring Pictured Rocks. The cottage is very cozy--we loved sitting around the gas stove in the evenings. We enjoyed the convenience of easy access to restaurants, coffee shop, and the market in walking distance.

This was a great location, although we couldn't see the lake we could definitely hear it. The sky at night was beautiful with the Perseus meteor shower and the Milky Way putting on a good show.

Peace and quiet

Great location for all the Grand Marais delights. The house is cozy and we felt right at home. Could hear the surf of Lake Superior at night. Lots of great information shared by the hostess, in a folder, about places to see and things to do.
