Comfortable, clean, private duplex, just 15 minutes from Marquette. Surrounded by woods and next to Camp 4 Road (a gateway to snowmobiling, overlanding, and adventure mountain biking), this is a perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a gateway to adventure or a tranquil place to stay while still being just a few minutes from all that Marquette and the central Upper Peninsula have to offer. You’ll enjoy high speed WiFi, in-unit washer and dryer, a well-appointed kitchen, and more. The Space: This comfortable, clean, private duplex connects to the other unit through a garage, so you have privacy and silence. While it doesn't fit into any hip description of style or trendy architecture, it's well maintained, wonderfully comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful Upper Peninsula woods. The living room has two couches, a coffee table, a smart TV, and a dedicated work desk. The drawers under the television have a variety of games and other fun things to do if you're stuck inside on a rainy or snowy afternoon. The kitchen has a table to seat 6, a full-size range and oven, stainless steel sink, full-size refrigerator, and ample selection of cutlery, silverware, pots, pans, strainers (we stayed in a vacation rental without a strainer, once...), and cooking essentials. Coffee, tea, and a few basic instant meals (think ramen) are provided to tide you over until you can get to a grocery store. There is a private washer and dryer in the basement. The full bathroom has towels and wash cloths for 6, a basic assortment of toiletries, bug spray, med kit items, and other essentials. The master bedroom has a king bed and a second smart television, along with a large closet, iron, ironing board, oscillating floor fan, and laundry basket. The second bedroom has a double bed, smaller closet, oscillating fan, and children's toys and books. The backyard has a small deck, propane grill, and fire pit that are shared with the other unit. There is paved parking for one car in front of the garage, along with ample parking in the gravel, plowed areas for other vehicles and trailers. The driveway is a pull-through, U-shaped drive that connects with the neighboring duplex, making it easy to manage a snowmobile or 4-wheeler trailer. The internet is a 300 MBPS symmetrical fiber optic connection that's distributed by a WiFi router. If you're looking for a serene place to work remotely, this is it! Guest Access: You have private, full access to the entire 2-bedroom, 1-bath duplex unit, including your own washer and dryer. The garage is between the two units in this duplex, so there isn't a shared wall between you and the other unit. Please note that you do not have access to the garage. The driveway, deck, backyard, fire pit and propane grill are shared between the units. Other Details: Most importantly, we know you're on vacation and are paying a modest cleaning fee. We'll ask you to wash your dishes and clean up any real messes in the kitchen, but we'll do the rest. In the winter, we hire out the plowing and snow clearing. Our plow guys are fantastic and get to us as fast as they can, but there may be times when there is some notable snow on the ground before they arrive. The same goes for Yalmer Road. The house is surrounded by beautiful, peaceful Upper Peninsula woods. We work hard to keep the residents of those woods outdoors where they belong, but you may encounter bugs, spiders, and furry friends. Mosquito season peaks in late May and June; we offer bug spray for our guest's convenience. We also have a perimeter rodent bait system around the foundation that does an excellent job of keeping mice out of the house. You're most likely to encounter a mouse in September and October when they're actively looking for places to spend the winter. The house is about 15 minutes from Marquette, 20 minutes from the hospital, 25 minutes from the NMU campus, and 45 minutes from Munising and the Pictured Rocks. It's a wonderful gateway to adventure and exploration in the U.P.! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Full-sized refrigerator/freezer - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Netflix - Smart TV - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Fan - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Cycling nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70120000/70113300/70113232/431a9829.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic Foxhole Marquette - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.8 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=70113232&PinnedHotelID=70113232&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/87000000/86940000/86939200/86939109/w904h683x60y0-fd7a6e0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Retreat in the Woods & Gateway to Adventure Skandia - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 23 reviews CA $133 CA $256 total includes taxes & fees Oct 31 - Nov 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=86939109&PinnedHotelID=86939109&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/87000000/86940000/86935300/86935254/w906h683x59y0-dca30626.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wooded Hideaway & Gateway to Adventure.
