The property was incredible - easily the best vacation rental I've ever stayed at. Location was ideal, being in the middle of downtown Marquette and on the lake. The loft was spacious and elevated, with 3 levels. Bedrooms were large, upper level living area was comfortable (especially with the gas fireplace), and bathrooms were spacious. Furniture-wise, the beds were comfortable. We also especially enjoyed the sauna. We would love to stay here again on a future trip.

This was a unique home in a great location. We loved the location, actually! The second level patio was great, we sat out there often. The weather was moderate during our stay so we turned off the air, opened the door, opened the skylights and let the lake breeze in! The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We utilized the sauna, which was relaxing after walking around Marquette. The property had such a great location, we left our van parked and walked everywhere. Restaurants and coffee shops were close by as well as the walking/bike trail. Thank you! We had a great stay.

Amazing Space for family vacation!

The Historic Harbor Loft was an amazing space for our vacation in Marquette! We spent a lot of time on the upper deck with phenomenal views of the lower harbor. Absolutely loved everything about the space! The game room and sauna were a wonderful addition! The host was promt with responses to questions. We would love to book this again someday!
