About this property

The Summer Cottage - 1 bedroom home central to downtown and NMU. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at The Summer Cottage!

This cozy home is ready to welcome you with its Scandinavian feel, light airy colors and simple charm. The home is centrally located near Northern Michigan University, Lake Superior, and the shops, restaurants, coffee houses and microbreweries on Third Street and downtown Marquette.

Walking into the home you are greeted by the light airy living room with the kitchen to your left and the bed room to your right. The kitchen is well appointed and brightly painted with a secluded patio off the side door. Included in the kitchen is a modern stackable washer & dryer. The living room has freshly painted walls and wood floors and is furnished with comfortable, mid-century modern furniture, a smart TV with Netflix and a turntable with vintage albums.

The bedroom has a comfortable king-sized bed with quality linens. The bathroom features plenty of towels and a floor to ceiling tiled shower.

The outdoor area includes a secluded patio off the kitchen with a seating area, grill, charcoal and grilling utensils. Also included is a patio area with seating, a fire pit and firewood to enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire.

The home is pet-friendly and can accommodate one dog for an additional $95.00 and we will consider an additional dog for an additional $95.00. The yard is not fenced in, so if you plan to bring your pup, please plan accordingly. When entering the number of people staying, please be sure to include "pets". Pets are people too! :)

This home is centrally located on Marquette’s west side in a quiet neighborhood. Everything you need is within walkable distance without the worry of busy highways. The Third Street restaurants, brew pubs, coffee houses, and shops are approximately four blocks to the east. Northern Michigan University is approximately four blocks to the north, the Washington Street downtown is approximately eight blocks to the south and the beach is approximately eight blocks to the east.

This home is a carriage house, which means it shares the property with another house. The carriage house dates back to the days when a relative would live in the back house, also known as a "grandma house" or "mother-in-law house". The other house is also a vacation home that sleeps four people and is also listed on VRBO (2330068). The driveway is shared with the front home but your home has its own allotted parking space and outdoor spaces.

Thanks for considering The Summer Cottage! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to hosting you!

Daughter graduated from NMU
We loved our stay at this house! Everything was exactly as described and every amenity was provided. The location was great! We walked to our daughters graduation ceremony at NMU, we walked to restaurants, we walked to get ice-cream, and we walked every evening to McCartys for a beach walk. We loved everything about our stay!!

Summer Cottage Stay
The summer cottage was perfect for the two of us and our dog. It's a friendly neighborhood and within walking distance to many places--downtown, NMU, the beach. The owners were very accommodating and available if we had questions or concerns. We enjoyed our stay!

Kate and I have lived in Marquette since 2005. I am an engineer and Kate is a registered nurse. We started buying homes in 2007 and renting them out and by 2017 we realized we no longer had to work so we quit our jobs. We started our first vacation rental in 2017 and now own and operate four vacation rentals. We strive to provide a comfortable place for our guests to call home.
