The location was peaceful and quiet. The house was nice and spacious for 6 of us. Wonderful access to Lake Superior right across the street. We really enjoyed it stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Luke! We had a group of 6, and the cabin felt very spacious and comfortable. It was also very well-equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, etc. The location was very nice since it felt so private and quiet. We especially loved using the kayaks/lifejackets in the stream right by the cabin!

Wonderful house for a family vacation! Absolutely cannot beat the location, amazing access to a beautiful Lake Superior beach, we had several nights on the beach with a fire, s'mores and stars. House is well equipped with comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen, lots of beach towels, and many spaces to appreciate the beauty of Marquette, both inside and out. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Glad you enjoyed your time at Camp Luke. Welcome back. Thanks so much. ~Paul & Annie
We had a great quick getaway. The kids loved kayaking in the river and the fires on the beach. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us. If we return we will definitely stay here again.
Close to Marquette. Nice town and a lot of things to do around the area. The back porch area of the house was my favorite hang out. So beautiful and peaceful. We had a blast with the kayaks and the canoe on the river. Would definitely stay again.

So happy to hear you enjoyed your time at Camp Luke. Thanks for your great review. Paul & Annie
Perfectly located to get away for a while
Loved the hummingbirds every day.
Walk to beach and Lake Superior or kayak on the Sand River
20 minute drive into either Marquette or Munising is just close enough for supplies/dining.
House was very comfortable -

A pleasant stay in a cabin with room and character. Five adults were comfortable and another five could have joined us, no problem. Cabin was clean with interesting decor; about 10 miles east of Marquette in peaceful surroundings. Beautiful beach across the hwy.

The private sandy beach directly across our drive is several miles long and great for walks along the water, campfires, swimming and more. The Sand River is calm and surrounded by nature great for kayaking.
We are close to either Marquette or Munising which both offer many activities and shopping experiences.
Lakenenland Sculpture Park is a 1 1/2 miles toward Marquette (West) and a wonderful place to stop and visit.
What makes this property unique
Perfect for nature bathing. Easy Kayaking. Peaceful pine forest setting. Located between Marquette and Munising quick drive to either town.
