We had an excellent stay! The bedrooms and bathrooms are adorable and well appointed. Kitchen is well stocked. Easy check out process was greatly appreciated. We were in town to hike, but you could relax on the property for days in the peaceful setting. Just a quick 15 min drive from the airport and in to town when needed. Perfect spot!

This place is a-MAZ-ing! We were a group of 4 backpacking friends staying here after 7 days on Isle Royale. The location is quiet and rural yet 15 minutes from downtown Marquette and 15 minutes to Marquette/Sawyer airport. The property is secluded and quiet which we loved. The house is so comfortable and beautifully done with everything updated and working perfectly. The beds were all comfortable. Anything you could possibly ask for has been provided and so much more. The house is so well furnished - we enjoyed looking at all the beautiful features and decor. There was a fantastic supply of products and consumables that were appreciated for being largely organic and higher-end selections. Although we had no children in our group, we noticed the house is well-equipped for entertaining little ones. The photos in the listing are accurate. Lori was exceptionally responsive. We plan to return to the Marquette area next year, and this will absolutely be our choice of where to stay.

The cabin was very clean. It was bright and open feeling. The kitchen was well appointed. We saw a deer resting near the cabin and a chipmunk on the porch. There were lots of game and activity options for families. You do need bug spray when you are outside. We were about 15-20 minutes from Marquette, less than an hour from Munising, and less than an hour from Laughing Whitefish Falls.

Quiet & comfy - a perfect getaway!

This was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Marquette. Being just a short drive out of town (less than 20 min), it was conveniently close to trails, downtown restaurants, and beaches. The best part is not only that it felt private and secluded but the home is beautiful and the beds are comfy!

Graduation in Marquette

Just far enough out of town to not be in the chaos but close enough to get there when we needed to be. The home was very homey, and easy to come back to for relaxation. Definitely will stay again, hopefully for a longer duration.

What a charming place. Slippery Jim's is warm and welcoming and has everything you could need. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of room. It's quiet and secluded, but not far from downtown Marquette. Lori is a great host and responded quickly anytime I had questions. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Wonderful. quiet, and relaxing

We come to the Upper Peninsula every fall as a family adventure. Our choice of Slippery Jim's Raise eyebrows with the name. However, the rental was as it is described. We loved using it a our base camp as we explore Marquette - north, south, east and west. Waterfalls, trails scenic hikes, shopping downtown Marquette, and enjoying some great food. We found the provider Lori prompt and helpful. For the old folks all of us between 65-76 found it one of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Lori

3 big Cs: Clean, Cute, and Communicative make this rental home stand out. Cute home, decorated nicely. Tons of games and activities for young and old. They even provided wood for the bonfire. Everything was clean and thoughtfully laid out. The 2 non-master bedrooms were small but met our needs. Communication with Lisa was excellent! We brought to her attention an issue that would need to be addressed before the next renters (something out of anyone’s control) and it was resolved first thing the next morning. You are out in the middle of nowhere and there are so many stars! But 15 minutes from Marquette with all the conveniences you might need. Kitchen has Keurig, French press, drip coffee maker and electric kettle. K-cups and tea bags provided, as well as basic spices. Plenty of towels and blankets. They keep a book for feedback and have clearly taken comments to heart. They seem to genuinely want their renters to have a wonderful experience, and they pay attention to details. I definitely recommend, and would stay here if we ever go back to the UP.
