The space
A cedar cabin minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Lake Superior beaches, and Grand Marais harbor. 4 bedrooms, sleeps 10, with a crackling fireplace, an oversized deck, and a firepit made for staying out under the stars.
Fall in Grand Marais is what the locals wait all year for. Peak color in the eastern UP runs roughly October 5 through 20, and the view from the Log Slide over the Grand Sable Dunes, with hardwood color running all the way down to Lake Superior, is one of the great overlooks in the Midwest. Sable Falls is a five-minute walk from the parking lot and framed in gold. Miners Falls and Chapel Falls are an easy day out. The Pictured Rocks cliffs from the water in October, with color on top of sandstone, are worth planning the trip around.
Then November brings the gales. Watching a Lake Superior storm come across the big water is its own kind of vacation, and this cabin is a good place to do it from. On the clear nights in between, the dark skies here are as good as it gets in the Lower 48 for aurora.
4 bedrooms, sleeps 10. Built for families and groups who want the real UP.
WHY GUESTS LOVE IT — FALL
🍁 Peak color October 5 to 20 — the Log Slide overlook and the Grand Sable Dunes look out over hardwood color running straight down to Lake Superior
🚠 Pictured Rocks in fall — the cliffs with color on top, boat cruises running into mid-October, and trails that are finally quiet
💧 Waterfalls without the crowds — Sable Falls is minutes away, with Miners Falls and Chapel Falls an easy day trip
🌌 Aurora season over Lake Superior — dark skies, zero light pollution, and a yard with a firepit to watch from
🌊 November gales on the big lake — storm watching on Superior is a genuine draw, and there is no better place to warm up after
🔥 Firepit nights in sweatshirt weather — a fireplace inside, an oversized deck outside, and nobody around
LOOKING AHEAD — WINTER
Grand Marais is a snowmobile destination — Michigan state trails open December 1 and the Superior shore holds the deepest snow in the state
Pictured Rocks ice formations and the ice caves draw people from all over the Midwest, and the trailheads are minutes away
Ample parking for sleds, trailers, and trucks, with a fireplace and a full kitchen to come back to
