Grand Island Cabins

Less than a mile from the ferry, and part of a nice hiking loop along the shore, up to Echo lake, and back. There was a gale when we stayed so we were very grateful for the warm cabin!

This cabin is perfect! It has everything needed and stocked with firewood and a gas grill with plenty of gas. The only things I would recommend is bring a large cast iron skillet or griddle to provide a cooking surface in the grill. Also hooks high on the walls or actual lines strung across would be very helpful for the placement of lights etc as the cabin is dark inside. Aside from that 1 mi is just the right distance from the ferry and Merchandise Beach is beautiful! The mountain biking was great and cell service was excellent! We had a lot of rain so we're able to hang out and watch movies after getting tired of euchre!

Cabin was excellent with an amazing location roughly 100 ft from the shore of Lake Superior. Merchant beach was picturesque. The screened-in porch of the cabin gave us a nice respite from mosquitoes. The bunkbeds were large and the cabin is very well-built with solid double-paned windows. The pilot light of the heater kept the whole cabin toasty even though we had the thermostat set to the off position. Bring enough light sources for your level of activity - we had lots of lanterns. There were 5 chairs on the porch during our stay, something we were concerned about (we brought our own, but certainly didn’t need to). We carried our gear the 1 mi down the trail with the assistance of a wagon (you can rent from the ferry company). The park ranger came by one day of our trip and dropped off fresh firewood and even took our garbage! The outhouse was very convenient for our group of 5 people (make sure to bring enough toilet paper). The gas grill provided was also located in the screened in porch with plenty of backup propane. My friend who lives in Colorado said this was the easiest camping experience he has ever had! Didn’t see any bears, but that’s okay. Overall an excellent experience.
