Fall at Cliffs Ridge -- come and enjoy the Upper Peninsula at its peak!
Location: Marquette, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA (Minutes from Marquette near Marquette Mountain Ski Area)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
Cliffs Ridge is a comfy, spacious home with cathedral ceilings and a corner wood-burning fireplace for family togetherness and privacy all wrapped in one. The home is located less than one mile from Marquette Mountain Ski Area, minutes from downtown Marquette and magnificent Lake Superior.
Cliffs Ridge is so-named because you can see its rooftop from Cliffs Ridge Run at the top of Chair #1 at Marquette Mountain, formerly Cliffs Ridge Ski Area.
Part of the beauty of renting Cliffs Ridge is its personality and warmth -- you can enjoy family and friends without the commercial feeling of a hotel, and with the great kitchen you can enjoy excellent meals without the expense of going out to eat for every meal.
Fully furnished, it is a wonderful place to rejuvinate and spend time with the ones you love. Relax in front of the fireplace after a great day of skiing, curl up and watch a movie in one of the comfortable chairs in the living room, enjoy drinks on the 2nd-story deck after a day at the beach, or read a book in one of the private bedrooms.
This year-around vacation home is the perfect spot for family reunions, ski vacations, NMU parent activity weekends, wedding parties and more. Our hope is that your family can enjoy it the way we have for 20+ years -- and that it can become your Marquette home-away-from-home as well!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1989
We bought the house as a primary residence in 1989 and renovated and added on throughout the years. When moving to Washington State in 2006 we were not ready to sell our house and decided to turn it into a vacation rental so that we could continue updating it and give others a chance to enjoy it as well.
Our ties to Marquette remain strong and we love visiting with friends and family as often as we can. It's hard to leave and it's great to come back!
Why the Owner Chose Marquette
The Marquette area offers an enormous range of activies, indoor and out. Boating, fishing, biking, hiking, skiing, great restaurants and shopping -- the possiblities are absolutely endless. It is a welcoming and warm community with the added benefit of magnificent Lake Superior which in itself can entertain the entire family.
Cliffs Ridge's central location allows you to be anywhere in the area in minutes -- the best of all worlds.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We love to have friends over to enjoy the 2nd-story deck, the wood-burning fireplace and gathering table in the dining area -- when you sit at that table you feel as tho you are living in a treehouse!
Nothing compares to fresh Lake Superior trout or whitefish on the grill -- get it from Thill's and you are guaranteed that it is fresh and wonderful!
