We had family from PA, WI, MN and MI up to Marquette to visit. Great weekend. Home is very spacious and well maintained. Will definitely stay here again.
Beautiful house, great communication with Laura, quiet, peaceful neighborhood, fully equipped with everything we could need. Enjoyed every second of our mini family reunion with my aunt and daughter. Three generations made priceless memories. Highly recommend.
The property was exactly like the pictures. I will say one of the bedrooms is upstairs so not on the main floor with the others. This wasn’t an issue for us just something to note. The property was truly in a great location. Super short walk to the beach and the bike rental shop. We were able to walk down to lower harbor within 20 minutes to see the fireworks. The backyard was great for grilling and offered plenty of seating for our group. This was a reunion trip for old college friends and it was so special to all be together back in Marquette. We will definitely stay here again!
Loved our stay! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect- short walk to the beach and to downtown. Laura is a wonderful host! We can't wait to come back in the summer! :)
Great location, so close to the beach. We enjoyed several late night and early morning walks to the beachfront/Lake Superior. Only a few minutes from downtown Marquette. Host was very thoughtful and communicative.
We LOVED the location! Just a walk away from the beach. Close to downtown. It was stocked with everything that you might need. I would recommend this place, to others!
We loved our stay here. Perfect location, clean, and everything we could have needed.
Nice that the Beach and the Lakeshore Depot is right across the street and town is right up the hill. We would love to come back next summer.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house has had some wonderful renovations that make it very comfortable and welcoming. The back yard was the hidden gem of the house, a great spot for coffee or breakfast each morning.
The location was pretty ideal, in a beautiful residential neighborhood with Lake Superior literally at the end of the block! Our trip went by too fast, and we would love to come back for another stay soon.
Great stay! The house was nicely outfitted with everything we needed. The spacious open first floor, that opened onto the back patio, was just perfect for us to really enjoy our time together as a family. The house is as described, a block from the beach! There is a great pedestrian path that leads to the downtown are as well.
Amazing. We had a great time. Short walk to the beach. Great location to everything in town and short ride to other outdoor attractions. Hard to leave. Highly recommend.
Great spot close to the beach and downtown Marquette!
Great property with plenty of space to relax after a day at the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with anything and everything we may have needed. Laura was quick to offer assistance if anything was to come up during the stay. Would definately consider this rental in the future if we are so lucky to visit the area again.
My husband and 19 year old really enjoyed our stay in Marquette. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was nicely stocked and there is a grocery coop at the end of the street that is open everyday. The location was great as well. Half a block from the beach and bike path.
Laura, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful.
We had a great visit hosting our family from out of town. The house looks small from the street but the large open kitchen/dining made a great place i host our family dinner. Well stocked with cookware and supplies. I would definitely come back!!
We enjoyed being close to the harbor and the many scenic areas so near. The house was well equipped and comfortable and was in a nice quiet neighborhood. The host was very responsive to our many questions.
We would highly recommend this property & will consider returning.
Four adults and three children enjoyed staying in this home for a winter getaway. The house was plenty big for all of us with two sitting rooms and a cozy fireplace to keep us warm. The owners left us a welcome gift and brochures about Marquette. We loved having a fenced in backyard to play in and the location was perfect for shopping and dining in town. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend the home.
The house was super clean, stocked with everything we could have needed and had comfortable bedrooms and living space. Location was perfect in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Being so close to the trail, the beach and a quick bike ride into town was perfect for us.
Laura's house was absolutely PERFECT for our family vacation. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. The convenient location was so close to everything we wanted to do. The house was so well stocked; I found that I overpacked on kitchen supplies. Other places that we have stayed have not been as well equipped so I tend to bring my essential kitchen supplies just in case. Not necessary for this house...Laura has thought of everything. The house was very clean. It was spacious enough for our family and the driveway had enough room for both of our vehicles. The only negative thing I can say is that our stay wasn't long enough. We will definitely book with Laura again. Thanks for giving us a wonderful place to stay, Laura!
