You will love this perfect waterfront retreat on the Chocolay River with Lake Superior access. This custom built house is designed to take advantage of the great outdoors. From the cozy covered front porch to the spacious backyard, this home offers a relaxing, private oasis overlooking 100' of river frontage with beautiful views, a 530 sq ft. raised wood deck, a hot tub and even a pirate ship playhouse designed for hours of fun for the littles. In the winter, you can access Marquette’svast snowmobile trails right from the driveway!

For the biking enthusiast, the Heritage bike trail is right around the corner. From here you can bike less than four miles to downtown Marquette for a meal or a beer at one of Marquette's many craft breweries. You can bring your own bike or use one of the cruisers that we provide.

You can also fish from the shores for Pike or head out on the river in the kayaks provided where anglers report catches of Coho salmon and Lake trout. There are many bird species to be observed in the area including nesting bald eagles that fish the lake, migratory birds and an occasional Great horned owl. The land across the river is part of the Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve a sanctuary with hiking trails and prohibited development.

Upon entering this home from the covered front porch, you'll love the outstanding views of the river. The living room with its large windows, warm wood floors and fireplace will draw you in. The kitchen is spacious and welcoming with cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, heated floors, and a large island. The upper level master suite offers large windows overlooking the water, a walk in closet, full bath with tiled tub/shower enclosure and granite counter tops. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with a spacious bathroom complete with tiled floor and shower. The downstairs bedroom can also be used as a play room or second living room.

    We stayed here as a family with young children as well as many friends and this house had everything we needed and more! We loved that the backyard was spacious and fenced in. The location was top notch, close to downtown Marquette which has so many fun shops and cool breweries. It’s also a quick hour drive to pictured rocks which was totally worth it! Overall, a great location, a cozy home to come back to and an awesome backyard to enjoy with lots of fun things at every corner. We definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back next year!

    This was our second time staying here. Everyone in our family absolutely loves this house. It’s so well organized, very nicely furnished, and so thoughtfully provided with everything you need, from the super well equipped kitchen, to the comfortable beds, nice towels, soaps, shampoo and conditioner etc. in the bathrooms. The back yard has a great deck with nice furniture and a beautiful view of the river. None of us wanted to leave!

    We had a nice stay. This was the most thoughtfully laid out place we have stayed at. There were plenty of towels, kitchen items, spices, etc. which is usually not the case. It felt like someone just opened their home and said please respectfully help yourself to our home. The place could be cleaner and kept up better, but it was very accommodating for our large family. We loved the kayaks and bikes!

    This is a very nice home and property just a few minutes from downtown Marquette. It’s easy to find and access; and it’s a convenient location for going wherever you need to in the area. The home sleeps 8 very comfortably, but you could sleep 3 in a King and 2-3 or 4 more in the trundles (if you’re on friendly terms ). And there’s room for two more on the couches, if the hosts allow that. So I suppose 12 could squeeeze in there, if needed. There is a crib room, as well, next to one of the bedrooms. One note to be aware of: there are no bedrooms on the main floor (except perhaps the couches). There is a half bath. So our 91 year old did need help up the stairs to a bedroom. It was still worth the effort. Valerie is an attentive host and outfitted the home with every single thing a large family needs. Just bring your toothbrush, practically. Our family really enjoyed using the bikes on the nearby trail and the kayaks on the lagoon and out into Lake Superior. We also toasted marshmallows in the fire pit and enjoyed the hot tub. The backyard is beautiful, with chipmunks, cottontails, squirrels, birds of all kinds. Really a nice place. Marquette doesn’t typically need air conditioning, so the home is cooled by the weather. It’s heated of course and there’s a nice gas fireplace in the living room. We enjoyed it on the cold day. The house is very open and has an airy feel - due to all the well-placed and large windows. Lots of light! Very good, pleasant feel to the house.

    We stayed at the home, to be close to NMU and attend our Sons graduation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even the Grandma and Grandpas felt comfortable in the home! They really were interested in the homes history! We loved the view, the hot tub…greatly stocked kitchen, and the full baby set up( but our granddaughter last minute, could not make the trip with her mom and dad, those were definite draws to our choosing the home!

    My husband and I stayed up in Marquette for a long weekend. We pulled the trailer with our side-by-side and had space in the driveway to do that. The house was very clean but does have a little bit of a musty smell on the main floor and downstairs. The master bathroom is awesome! It even had everything you needed in the tub like shampoo and soap. The king size bed in the master bedroom is extremely soft, which we struggled with a little bit as we are not used to that! We would have loved a television in the bedroom as well, but it didn’t make or break our stay. The kitchen is updated and has everything you need. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. It is a beautiful location and if we would’ve brought our kids, they would have enjoyed the very cute playset. Thank you to the owners for providing this space to people!

    The stay was amazing. We had everything we needed and had a great time as a family. The property was even closer to downtown Marquette than I thought which made access to it along with lots of trails and beaches super easy. We enjoyed Harborfest, strongly recommend the Marquette Farmer's market, had an amazing kitchen to cook in, and this property was perfect if travelling with an infant. We had our 11 month old daughter with us and the crib room was perfect for her. It got dark enough even for naps during the day which is crucial as parents know. Highly recommend the property, I can't say enough good things about it.

    We stayed here in fall of 2022 for a visit with our NMU student. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy family time with distant college students. The kitchen is one of the best stocked of all the places we’ve stayed, making it easy to do home cooked meals. House is quiet and the view of the water from everywhere in the house makes for a great way to start and end the day. Access to the Iron Ore Heritage Trail is great for walking and biking. Loved it!

    The property was exactly as described in the listing. The accommodations were outstanding. My 9 year old had her first kayaking experience here with the kid kayak they had provided, and what a memory! Loved that the little river comes right out to the Lake and sugar sand beach. My little one loved time in the hot tub with dad. So many close shops and restaurants nearby while having the quiet retreat of this neighborhood, and the serenity of the woods and bayou in the back. Would absolutely come back.

    Loved our stay here with our 4 adult kids. House was well appointed and in a great location. Felt secluded on the river while being just a short drive to downtown Marquette. We enjoyed the kayaks and walking/bike trail right at the house. Marquette was fun to explore with cute shops and restaurants along with hiking and swimming. We also did a day trip to Pictured Rocks from here, just 45 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again!
