The Hill House offers a great view, plus it's close to town and dog friendly!

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.

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.

We loved this house! The location and view were amazing, everything was even better than described. It was very windy our first night and the house never even creaked. The owner is a great guy and was very welcoming. We would stay here again, 1000%.

Can’t Wait to Return

We’ve stayed at The Big House and were so excited to stay at this property this year. And our expectations were, unexpectedly, far surpassed! The home was wonderful, check in was easy, the location was perfect, we loved it so much. And we can’t wait to come back again!

A great place to stay for a snowmobile trip. House is newly remodled. Plenty of parking for large truck/trailer(s). Beautiful view and walking distance to town. Trails are accessible with a small bit of roadside riding to get to them. Host was very responsive.

Love Grand Marais even more than the Last 5 or 6 Trips

Enjoyed the accomodations! Even the Washer & Dryer were a Hit. Went on side by sides for a Run on Saturday and saw how crazy our Boyz were on Hill climbing!
