Amazing Space for family vacation!

The Historic Harbor Loft was an amazing space for our vacation in Marquette! We spent a lot of time on the upper deck with phenomenal views of the lower harbor. Absolutely loved everything about the space! The game room and sauna were a wonderful addition! The host was promt with responses to questions. We would love to book this again someday!

Family Gathering

The harbor loft is ideally located in downtown Marquette. Just across the lake and within walking distance to prime shopping and excellent restaurants. The loft itself is beautiful and well appointed. They’ve thought of everything. I am hoping to make this my home away from home again in the future.

Outstanding stay!

We had a great four night stay. The photos don't do justice showing how much room the house has. Three bedrooms, a sauna, ping pong table, and more. Plus, the house is walking distance to numerous restaurants, bars, and coffeehouses. The entire house was very clean and well stocked. I would highly recommend staying here. I'm

July 4 in Marquette

Prime location - nothing like it! On the lake, watched fireworks from the deck, walking distance to dining, farmers market and entertainment. On bike path and close to mountain biking trails. Sitting on the porch and watching the world go by was also a treat. Definitely would stay here again.
