Welcome to Northfort, your Perfect Up North Fort

Welcome to Northfort, your perfect home away from home in the heart of Michigan's breathtaking Upper Peninsula. This charming property features a two-bedroom, one-bathroom main house along with a cozy bunkhouse, all nestled on a sprawling 1.65-acre lot. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures or a tranquil retreat, Northfort offers a welcoming and comfortable space for your next getaway.

The main house is thoughtfully designed for relaxation, with a spacious living area and recent updates that add modern appeal. It includes two bedrooms: one with a king bed and the other with a queen, providing a restful escape after a day of exploring. The full bathroom is equipped with a shower and tub combo, sink, and toilet for your convenience. The fully stocked kitchen features a range, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay.

Gather around the firepit in the evenings to share stories and make memories under the stars. The property also features a spacious 20’ x 30’ garage, ideal for storing your gear, complete with a gas grill and a pellet stove for added convenience (pellets are available for purchase at Superior Hardware in town). With plenty of room for toy haulers, this property is a fantastic choice for those bringing along ATVs, snowmobiles, or other outdoor equipment.

The house was clean and well decorated. The best part was having a bunk house for my son and his friends to stay in. It was nice having the garage too. It was great having the extras stocked in the kitchen and the TV set up ready to go. Nice and close to the small town of Grand Marais.

Perfect for our Family

Very nice accommodation and the bunk house worked out great! Very quick and easy access to downtown Grand Marais which is a wonderful small town. Equal distance that we could go to Tahquamenon Falls one day and the Pictured Rocks boat tour the next. Highly recommend staying here.

Nice home for a small family trip

Family trip with the kids for their first UP experience, home was great for the 3 older kids. They enjoyed that the bunk house was separate from the main house so they could stay up later and not wake up the baby. We enjoyed making a fire in the fire pit out back! Not a crazy drive to Munising to show them Pictured Rocks and enjoy 4th of July fireworks! Grand Marais itself is a small little town, so be prepared to not see a regular grocery store on the outside! We enjoyed our trip though and the house made our stay comfortable!
