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.

Beautiful location

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.

Grand time in Grand Marais!

We enjoyed our stay at the Music Makers Cottage. My family was comfortable and slept well. The rolling sand dunes, wild flowers, and sunsets over Lake Superior were candy to our eyes. We thought the prettiest waterfall was right there, Sable Falls, only six minutes away, that leads to an incredible beach. Rent a boat to see the pictured rocks! Came home with awesome pictures and some new rocks to add to my garden. We will be back! The Conover Family

Music Makers Cottage

Very nice area of Grand Marias. They own a nice sized piece of footage along Lake Superior. The dunes in front of the home aren't to difficult to navigate. However, it is a short walk to the lake. Excellent workout for your legs though! There are many board games and movies for rain days. The rock hunting is fantastic! We found many agates and yooperlites along the shore. Also included with the property, was an in depth binder of the area's must do attractions and restaurants. Very helpful for Grand Marias newbies.

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.

Cottage summer holiday

We loved the location of Susan’s cottage. She was so easy and nice to communicate with prior to arrival. We loved being able to walk to the small town one way, and down to the point the other way. The cottage was immaculate. Our favorite part was being able to walk out the back door and after about five minutes be at the beach of Lake Superior. A beautiful and wild lake. The beach was a perfect mix of sand and rocks. Great place to launch our kayak. We also loved being close to Pictured Rocks. I highly recommend going to Sable Falls and following the trail to the lake. The only thing to keep in mind is that the town has only the bare minimum of groceries. It was hard for us to find vegetables. The locals told us the nearest place for this was in Newberry or Manistique. Otherwise, we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the kids loved the recliners, and the fire pit just behind the house was a perfect way to end our nights. Overall a great, comfortable house. Thank you for sharing your sweet cottage with us Susan!

Chases at Muisic Makers in Grand Marais

We had a wonderful time as we always to in Grand Marais. We have never stayed in Music Makers before, but it was as advertised - wonderful. Great location, incredibly well-stocked cottage, very clean, easy process of checking in and out, and great communication. Thank you so much Susan.

Cute little cottage

The property is close to Pictured Rocks, and just a short walk from the lake. We enjoyed the fireplace this time of year. Grand Marais is a cute little town. If you plan on cooking, you would want to bring your own food, the grocery store in town is very small. We had a great time!

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.

Very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing cabin. The walk to the water kinda sucked because of the sand and we're lazy but, so worth the walk! Collecting rocks by the shore was awesome!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Music Maker's Cottage! The local up on the point and just over the sand to Lake Superior was amazing. Also withing walking distance to town and other beaches. The property was clean and as described, cozy and welcoming, but with enough room for 4 of us to spread out and have our space. Having a washer and dryer onsite was a big plus during a weeklong vacation. The main bed and mattress was super comfy! This location is within a real short drive of several waterfalls and hiking trails in Pictured Rocks, and not a long drive from Paradise (Tahquamenon Falls), Munising (Pictured Rocks boat tours), and Manistique (Kitch-iti-kipi). No complaints, no problems, and we would stay here again! Thanks, Susan.

If Music Makers was for sale, and I was a millionaire, I would buy it. But, its not for sale and I'm not a millionaire, so thank you for letting me know what rich people feel like! Hope we can come back next year.
