Great Cabin!!!

We stayed for a long girls weekend. Location is amazing. Very private. Across the highway from Lake Superior. Living room view is also the Lake. There have been some updates tp property not reflected in pictures. New paint. Upgraded bathroom. We enjoyed going out but also staying in. Bedrooms were nicely appointed. Lots of blankets if needed. Fireplace in LR with fireplace. There was wood and a firestarter available if we wanted. Outside firepit was so cute- but we did not take advantage due to the weather. We have already said we want ro come back to the area and we would book this property again!!! 3 minute drive to downtown Marquettw.

Marquette getaway

Very clean and comfortable, has been updated nicely. We were not aware of how busy US 41 was, and there is constant traffic noise. Plus there was construction on a road right next to us the whole week. Would have liked nicer qualilty towels and hooks on the bathroom door for hanging. Thank you for sharing this unique cottage!

Potential

This property reminded me of an old deer hunting camp with extras like hot water, a shower (mostly clean) and a TV that worked occasionally. This is a very tired property that really needs an overall updating. The location was a couple of minutes from downtown Marquette. The view of Lake Superior was beautiful as long as you ignored the 4-lane highway out front.

Superior location! Great Rental!

We loved being all but 2 miles from downtown and having a lake view. The firepit was such a treat. The outdoor space and lower level garage was perfect for us as cyclists. We would definitely stay again. Reasonably priced and their communication was top notch. Thank you!

Great view of Lake Superior. Not accessible because if the highway but the deck makes up for that. The tv didn’t work great, internet buffered a lot and slow to respond to remote control. Not there for the tv but nice to unwind with at night. The location to town is very good. Check in and out was easy and Tom is very good at responding to questions.

RCC ticked all the boxes for our MQT snow bike vacay. We loved the homey modest vibe of the cabin. Also, the hosts went above and beyond by providing charcoal and firewood. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us :) J and J

Cute little cabin

This cabin is perfect for a small family or a couple. I would definitely stay there again in warmer weather. My only issue was the thermostat.When we arrived the cabin was 42 degrees. We sat in out coast and got blankets until we had to leave for out dinner. We had a hard time regulating the temperature. We would put the temp to 72 at night were sweltering in the small rooms at night. Then the thermostat would turn off to 62 in the middle of the night and we would wake up cold. I have contacted the host regarding this and they stated they would look into it.

Good value for the location

First off, let me say I enjoyed my stay at the cabin, and would stay there again if I were ever in the area and needed a place to stay. The location is very nice, close to town, but still seems secluded due to the geography of the location. There is a highway right out front, but the car noise really wasn't very distracting, and was minimal late at night. You could easily hear the waves crashing on the beach across the road. The cabin was clean when I arrived and overall the cabin was comfortable, with a comfortable family room furniture and beds. Heating worked well, and plenty of hot water. AC was a window unit in the 'master' bedroom. TV was newer than the one pictured, but even though hooked up to a cable box only got the most basic of local channels. Internet worked very well. However the cabin does appear to be a bit run down in areas, like missing a few tiles in the bathroom, etc. Kitchen has all the appliances needed (fridge, stove/oven, microwave and toaster) but the cookware left a bit to be desired if you plan on anything more than the most basic of cooking. I think with a few maintenance issues taken care of, and perhaps some labels for some light switches and instructions on how to use the indoor fireplace the guest experience could be elevated to the next level. That being said, I definitely feel that I received good value for the price paid!
