The beds and furniture were comfortable. The back yard was beautiful and relaxing. The only thing I would point out is that you can hear the traffic in front of the house on a busy road if that's something that would bother you. The location of the house to Marquette and many hiking trails and beaches was great. ##### Larry G. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah K. Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We'd love to come back! This is a great property. There was a beautiful pond with wildflowers around it, a nice fire pit, and outdoor relaxation areas, as well as a creek my boys enjoyed tromping through. A heads up, the hot tub is not a traditional hot tub, but rather a bath tub outside that you can will with hot water. The house is older, but well maintained and very clean. The location is fantastic. So close to downtown, hiking, the beach, just really great! The only downside to the location is that it is close to a busy road, so there is some traffic noise. Melissa, the owner, was an excellent host. She's clearly thought through what people will need when staying at her property. She was easy to communicate with and welcoming. We'd love to visit again! ##### Sarah K. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas H. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A true gem :-)) Melissa's house is a true gem, we stopped here for a few days during our trip along the Big Lakes. It's very well kept, has a huge garden with a pond and a small river. One evening we could even see a deer in the garden! There were all amenities that we could wish for. Coffee, a grill, cooking utensils, a washer and a dryer and much more. Everything was very clean and in excellent condition. The heart of Marquette is only a 10 minute drive. The house made us feel at home away from home. In our case this was more than important: due to the Crowdstrike grounding, our daughter had major troubles getting aboard her booked flights from Europe to Marquette and we had to do a lot of trouble shooting via phone and web. So Melissa was able, in an uncomplicated and easygoing way, to adjust our stay which was super helpful - thank you very much! All in all we can only recommend this house to future guests! ##### Thomas H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John P. Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Spot We travel to Marquette every year, so we've stayed in numerous spots. This has been our favorite so far, and would definitely check this one first for our next vacation. The location is absolutely perfect for what we like. You're less than 5 minutes away from popular hikes like Sugarloaf, Hogsback, Little Presque beach, and Harlow Lake. Likewise, you're only minutes away from downtown, so you get to be away from the traffic, but still close enough to not feel like you're wasting valuable vacation time with trips into town. Melissa was also a fantastic host, and was extremely communicative. Check in/out was a breeze. If we had a question, it was answered near immediately. Lastly, my wife really appreciated the little things. We've run into issues with other rentals where we'd learn that basic necessities weren't there, or there weren't enough for our entire stay. Not an issue here. There were plenty of trash bags, toilet paper, hand soap, etc ...you'd think this would be standard at rentals, but it isn't. We never ran out of the basics here. Lastly, the smore kit for the kids was a nice and thoughtful touch. We definitely recommend this if you're looking for a cozy spot close to everything. ##### John P.

Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our time in Marquette. The adventures hiking to waterfalls, jumping off the black rocks, swimming at lake Independence, climbing Sugarloaf and exploring downtown were just what we needed. Melissa was a great host. She was helpful and responsive when needed, but we didn't need her much because we had no issues. The house and the property were well maintaine and welcoming. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. We loved the stream in the backyard. We spent our time at the house investigating the stream and fishing for trout. (We caught 1 little brook trout, a perfect experience for our young daughter). We hope to come back to Marquette soon and would love to stay here again. ##### Michelle M.

The house was very cute, had everything we needed, and the property was great as well. Firewood is a 1 minute drive away near the store that has “dollar dollar beers y’all”. It was great getting back up to the UP. I miss it dearly. Only complaint is that fall color was so late this year. Thanks Melissa! ##### Clint R.

Jun 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Nice Getaway My son and I vacationed in Marquette, for a week, to see my daughter, who is at NMU. Very convenient location, just outside the bustle of the campus and downtown, yet only 10 minutes away from everything. Plenty of space to spread-out for a small family, internet access and TV for streaming (hulu/netflix with your own account) during the cold rainy days or night time to unwind, and the bottom bunk bed being larger than usual (for a bunk) was perfect for my 17 year old son using his laptop and to sprawl out for sleeping. The covered porch was a plus to be able to grill when we had a couple rainy days or even just to sit and have morning coffee. There were also nice mowed paths to walk by the babbling brook, through the woods and around the pond. The only negative was spotty cell calls and texting capabilities. ##### Chris H.

I can’t emphasize how wonderful our visit was! This home was perfect for our long weekend getaway to Marquette. Perfectly detailed check-in, fast replies for questions. This home is located in the perfect location to enjoy town and the parks without additional excess driving. Exceptionally clean and comfortable! We look forward to another visit soon! ##### Janis S.

Location is also convenient; within few miles to walking and biking trails and short driving distance to downtown area. The only negative for us was proximity of the house to main road and it is very noticeable even inside the house due to noise from the road, otherwise I would have rated 5 stars. ##### Vlad S.

NMU was about 5 min away. Many trailheads are close by, including a trail that runs parallel to the property (best found on google maps). As noted, this property is located on Hwy 550 and there is vehicle noise at certain points of the day. However, the fans provided in the bedrooms worked well to mask the noise while we were sleeping. This is a great place to be close to many wonderful adventure opportunities in the MQT area. ##### Linnea H.

The back of the property is beautiful. We enjoyed watching the ducks and the beaver in the pond. We also loved seeing the deer make an appearance. The front of the property is close to a busy road so sometimes the traffic noise was disappointing; however, it did not detract from our visit. The owner, Melissa, was wonderful and extremely helpful. ##### Andrew H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya E.

I drank coffee every morning looking out that window. This house is also located near many hiking trails. We were just out the city of Marquette. We loved our stay. ##### Tanya E.

Melissa was a great host, that accommodated all of our needs! The house was extremely clean, and stocked with everything we could have needed over our stay. The firepit next to the pond was great, and the trails over the little bridge were beautiful. Very optimial spot too, just 10 minutes from downtown, we were able to get food delivered as well through sites like door dash. We will definitely be back next year, maybe even sooner. Well worth the money compared to the hotels in the area. ##### Samuel S.
