The Olli family is proud to announce the opening of The Hill House, their newest vacation rental in Grand Marais, Michigan. Be one of the first to enjoy this gem of a property situated on a large lot high on Ridge Road with incredible panoramic views of the harbor and Lake Superior.

Our stay was wonderful and cozy. We somehow mixed up our days but they graciously accommodated us. The weather was awful in most people's books but was amazing to us since we snowmobile. Trails, food, town, snowmobile equip, etc are all very close. We had deer in the yard. When the snow wasn't blizzarding, we could see Lake Superior - very pretty! This home had all of the amenities we needed and it allowed our dogs to come which was great!

Great Deck View of Lake Superior

We loved our visit to Grand Marais. The house is clean and has an awesome view of the lake. It is close to town and the beach for rockhounding and not far from several waterfalls. Our dog especially liked hanging out on the deck with a gate to keep him in. We would definitely stay here if we are ever in the area again.

We were very impressed with how clean and well stocked the house was. The location of the house was perfect for seeing the attractions. When we needed Dan he came right over to help. The yard was big and and the landscaping gave our dogs boundaries. Would not hesitate to recommend this house.
