Skandia, Michigan
Comfortable, clean, private duplex, just 15 minutes from Marquette.
Surrounded by woods and next to Camp 4 Road (a gateway to snowmobiling, overlanding, and adventure mountain biking), this is a perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a gateway to adventure or a tranquil place to stay while still being just a few minutes from all that Marquette and the central Upper Peninsula have to offer.
You’ll enjoy high speed WiFi, in-unit washer and dryer, a well-appointed kitchen, and more.
The Space:
This comfortable, clean, private duplex connects to the other unit through a garage, so you have privacy and silence.
While it doesn't fit into any hip description of style or trendy architecture, it's well maintained, wonderfully comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful Upper Peninsula woods.
The living room has two couches (one of which is a queen fold-out sleeper sofa), a coffee table, a smart TV, and a dedicated work desk. The drawers under the television have a variety of games and other fun things to do if you're stuck inside on a rainy or snowy afternoon.
The kitchen has a table to seat 6, a full-size range and oven, stainless steel sink, full-size refrigerator, and ample selection of cutlery, silverware, pots, pans, strainers (we stayed in an vacation rental without a strainer, once...), and cooking essentials. Coffee, tea, and a few basic instant meals (think ramen) are provided to tide you over until you can get to a grocery store.
The full bathroom has towels and wash cloths for 6, a basic assortment of toiletries, bug spray, med kit items, and other essentials.
The master bedroom has a king bed and a second smart television, along with a large closet, iron, ironing board, ceiling fan, oscillating floor fan, and laundry basket.
The second bedroom has a double bed, smaller closet, oscillating fan, and children's toys and books.
In the unfinished basement, you'll find a full-sized washer and dryer.
The backyard has a small deck, propane grill, and fire pit, all of which are shared with the other unit.
There is paved parking for one car in front of the garage, along with ample parking in the gravel, plowed areas for other vehicles and trailers. The driveway is a pull-through, U-shaped drive that connects with the neighboring duplex, making it easy to manage a snowmobile or 4-wheeler trailer.
The internet is a 300 MBPS symmetrical fiber optic connection that's distributed by a WiFi router. If you're looking for a serene place to work remotely, this is it!
Guest Access:
You have private, full access to the entire 2-bedroom, 1-bath duplex unit, including the unfinished basement with your own washer and dryer.
The garage is between the two units in this duplex, so there isn't a shared wall between you and the other unit. Please note that you do not have access to the garage.
The driveway, deck, backyard, propane grill, and fire pit are shared between the units.
Other Things To Note:
Most importantly, we know you're on vacation and are paying a modest cleaning fee. We'll ask you to wash your dishes and clean up any real messes in the kitchen, but we'll do the rest.
In the winter, we hire out the plowing and snow clearing. Our plow guys are fantastic and get to us as fast as they can, but there may be times when there is some notable snow on the ground before they arrive. The same goes for Yalmer Road.
The house is about 15 minutes from Marquette, 20 minutes from the hospital, 25 minutes from the NMU campus, and 45 minutes from Munising and the Pictured Rocks. It's a wonderful gateway to adventure and exploration in the U.P.!
Exceptionally well-equipped cabin. So comfortable, it felt much more like returning “home”, as opposed to a rented property, at the end of the day. Beautiful setting off the road with woods nearby. Highly recommend.
The property was as advertised and great communication from the owner. The location worked well for our visit with our college student at NMU. Thanks!
Very well appointed, modern, clean, excellent wi-fi connection. Comfortable.
What a beautiful and quiet place to stay in the woods. Easy check-in, great communication and a clean, well stocked home!
Very clean beautiful place
Jeremy and Cassandra are great hosts and worked hard to make our stay the best it could be.
We would stay here again.
Way better than tent camping and had everything we needed for the weekend. Host communication was great.
6 of us stayed 9 nights for a cousins reunion. We are all in our 70's and everything was great.The description stated a futon but none (so they quickly provided a roll away bed) Thank you! Also B is located on the side of the duplex so it was a short walk from the car with luggage. We are already talking about renting again next year because they could not have been more accomodating. Thank you Jermey and Cassandra.
Place was clean and stocked just as described. Mosquitoes were so bad the owners even provided an assortment of bug repellent...was an awesome weekend!!
Great location, very clean, if you’re looking for a secluded place, this is it! Highly recommend, also highly recommend A&M cafe for breakfast.
