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.

Grand Marais getaway
Cute dog friendy cabin with great view of Lake Superior. Easy walking distance to downtown area. The UP 200 was scheduled to end in Grand Marais but was canceled due to lack if snow this year. They still had activities planned downtown which were fun to check out.

Beautiful View
Very nice home, kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. Which is great because the week we went, every single restaurant closed for that week. Wish this would have been communicated to us. Other than that it was a great get away and this property won't disappoint. They are installing a fire pit this spring, that will be a great addition.

Annual Snowmobile Trip
We booked a stay at the Hill House for our annual snowmobile trip in mid Feb. Unfortunately, due to the strange weather this winter, there was no snow to be found but we didn't believe it so we had to see for ourselves. Instead we did some hiking at the local Bond Falls, we drove to other nearby sights to see. We also walked from the Hill House into town a couple times for dinner. Lake Superior Brewing Co. has great food and atmosphere. We stopped at Grand Marais Tavern and had a cocktail. And had a delicious breakfast with a view at The Breakwall Lodge. Superior Shores Market or Bayshore Market have everything you'd need! Plus, the picture perfect shoreline, visible from most of town will make you fall in love with this little dot on the map! We'll be back for sure!

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!

Great Stay
Loved the location. Grand Marais is an awesome little haven with a very unique vibe. It’s really special. This house is super close to the main stretch, where you’ll find a handful of bar/restaurants and gas. Good gift shop too. We were able to see the northern lights at Agate Beach—a first for us. The house is super clean, set in a wooded area overlooking Lake Superior. The only downside is the lack of water pressure in the kitchen and shower. Bed and pillows were not very comfortable. I guess we need to start bringing our own pillows. Overall, you’ll like the place. Perfect spot. Check out Agate Beach for northern lights. Ice cream shop in town is really good. Best ice cream I’ve had. We liked Grand Marais Tavern for dinner, but beware—Thursdays are super crowded because it’s “Thirsty Thursdays”.

Centrally located to waterfalls with a Superior view!
Stayed with 5 adults, perfect fit. Located just right to visit all the waterfalls on our itinerary. Dan checked on us during our stay, was very nice to chat with. Sherpa Shack downtown has the best ice cream!

Hill House
We had a great stay at the Hill House in Grand Marais! We spent most of our time outdoors exploring, but the house fit our needs perfectly when we were done for the day. The deck with the lake view was great for coffee in the morning or relaxing at night. The yard was also very large, which was nice for playing bean bags or fetch with the dog.
