We didn’t spend much time in the house really just slept there and showered. Everything was clean. The house was well appointed with everything you could need for your stay. The host left a very nice basket in the kitchen filled with coffee, popcorn, the makings for s’mores and more. The one thing the house could use is Wi-Fi.

We were so happy with our stay. There were so many small touches added to this extremely clean house. The sun porch was great for coffee in the morning as was the back porch on the warmer mornings. They had a big shower with very good water pressure with a lot of extra towels. The kitchen had everything you can ever need and they had sharp knives! They left a welcome basket of goodies with Trenary bakery cinnamon toast. Wifi worked great and they had a large TV which we didn't use. There was a fire pit in the yard with wood and kindling. The beds were comfy and the heat worked very well. They are located a block or 2 from a restaurant, ice cream shop, church, and park with playground. We were visiting family so we are definitely be staying here again.

Very clean and had everything needed for a great stay. Nice enclosed porch plus a wonderful fire pit area. Only a 30 minute drive to the Superior Dome, but out away from the traffic of Marquette. Deer come into the yard at night and eat off the apple trees. I will definitely stay here again.

Great For a Long Weekend

Spent a long weekend here with family. There were tons of indoor and outdoor toys for the kids and plenty of room for the dog to explore. There isn't wifi and the service isnt great, but there is satellite TV. There's a decent park just a block down the road that the kids loved, too!
