Our family had a wonderful time in Grand Marias. Dan’s home was the perfect location to enjoy all the beauty of the Great Lakes. We especially appreciated the friendly, small town feel. We love being able to walk around to Mass and all the eateries in the area. There is a Catholic Church walking distance from Dan’s house. Our kiddos had a great time and made so much good memories here. We will definitely be coming back for our annual family vacation.
