This amazing northern Michigan lodge designed and custom-built awaits the arrival of your group and the opportunity to offer priceless, unmatched memories. The “Palace” as referred to by the locals, is situated on the “ridge” in Grand Marais and features a panoramic view of the city of Grand Marais, as well as, the marina, harbor, bay, and of course the grand Lake Superior itself and its sandy white beaches. The city is only 3 blocks away (a short bike ride or walk) making this location a family fun getaway. We offer several bikes on-site or bring your own to explore the city and the miles and miles of paved, quiet, lightly traveled, scenic roads where nature is in abundance. This house is situated with a peaceful and gorgeous view of the bay and Lake Superior offering cathedral ceilings and the ‘wall of windows’ in this unique 4-level, high-end log home inviting many breathtaking sites of freighters as well as one-of-a-kind sunsets, a view of the private pond, waterfalls and the artesian well. You will also enjoy watching deer, chipmunks, hummingbirds, an occasional eagle, wolf or bear in their natural habitat right outside the windows because this home is on a quiet “no outlet” road. The full-length decks on both sides of the home and several wooded acres surrounding it allows for outdoor fun and awesome views of wildlife first hand. The deck has seating that overlooks amazing sunsets and the night time lights of Grand Marais must be enjoyed.
The home décor offers a “rustic and woodsy” feel. There are many local effects including photos, antiques, and trophy animal mounts that are native to the area. Upon entering, you will be in awe of the spacious great room that engulfs the living, dining, and kitchen area. Several door walls offer access to the full-length deck that enables you to view Grand Marais and Lake Superior. A gas grill (please clean after use) is available on site, as well as a large picnic table for your use which allows an awesome area for dining while watching nature and the beautiful evening sunsets. If you prefer to prepare and cook a gourmet meal, you’ll enjoy doing so in our high-end kitchen with stainless appliances, custom hardwood cabinetry, granite counters, and a copper sink. The large, rustic wooden kitchen table offers enough seating for 8 people and the full-length wood and granite bar that also provides room on wooden bar stools. Hand-hewn hardwood floors encompass the entire downstairs living area which offers the perfect foundation for the leather and rustic wooden furniture. The living room area features a 14” thick carved front door, large flat screen tv, DISH satellite, and a carved mantle. The laundry and office area finish off the main level with a full-size front-loading washer and dryer and utility tub. There is also a desk/work area with a printer for your use. Our home also offers WIFI throughout. Also on site are beach chairs and towels, several bikes, a cooler, and IPOD docking station.
Up the stairway (made of ½ logs) you will find wall to wall plush carpet in the bedroom areas. The master bedroom, with a king-size bed, allows you to wake refreshed in the morning while listening to the sound of the water from the waterfall dropping into the pond and a view of Lake Superior and Grand Marais that is simply breathtaking. The second bedroom features a queen-size bed and a large walk-in closet. The third bedroom offers a king bed and a large closet. Each bedroom includes a tv with DISH and DVD player.
