About this property

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.

Although the property has been in the family for over 50 years, extensive renovations and a top to bottom overhaul, including new plumbing, wiring, insulation and a master bedroom addition are complete and ready to be enjoyed.

The Hill House features three bedrooms and sleeps a maximum of six people. It’s a ranch style home with 1.5 bathrooms. There is a queen master bedroom with a TV & a full bath, a second bedroom with a full size bed and and a third bedroom with two twin beds. This property is a 5-minute walk from town with ample trailer parking and plenty of privacy. The home features Wi-fi, a 50-inch smart TV and a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher. A washer and dryer and large elevated deck on the lakeside round out everything you’ll need for your stay.

Easy access to snowmobile trails. No need to use a trailer for transport.

Like the Ollis’ other sought after Grand Marais rental (VRBO 1461916, The Big House), this home is family owned and managed by a partner residing in town year-round who will quickly respond to any issues or concerns.

Fire pit to be installed Spring 2024.

Beautiful!

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%.

Winter

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.

Winter Wonderland

The hill house was a perfect winter getaway. We came to snowmobile and the conditions were perfect in every direction. The hill house was perfectly located and was very comfortable to stay in. The hill house is pet friendly so we were able to bring our dogs. I loved all the deer. They were everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely do it again...the house is perfect size for two couples.

location & location

Very Clean, nice living area, fully stocked kitchen & wifi worked great. Space worked fine for our needs but just a heads up that the only shower is in the master bedroom so using that for guest might be awkward. The shower pressure or shower head is not great. Good enough to get clean - but could use something to really make it a perfect experience.

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.
