Marquette, Michigan
Our home is on the banks of the Chocolay River and just over 2 miles by car from Lake Superior. The city bike path can be joined 1 mile down the road. Extensive hiking, mountain biking and snowshoeing trails are about 10-15 minutes away. We have river kayaks for your use, and depending on the water level and log jams, it is a 2 or 3 hour paddle downriver to either a take out spot or Lake Superior, depending on how far you’d like to go. We are located 12 minutes from downtown Marquette and 40 minutes from Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
We like to fish, hike, ski and mountain bike, so we have space to store your bikes, rods and ski gear inside the garage during your stay.
There is Wi-Fi available and a 65” 4K smart tv in the great room. There is one queen bed with a flat screen television in the room, plenty of closet space and a desk for your use. The other bedroom has two twin beds a large dresser and places to hang clothes as well as benches for your duffels.
The entire ground floor is yours, approximately 2,000 square feet with a beautiful view of the river and large windows in every room. It is very spacious and light.
We reside upstairs but you have your own entrance into the house from the attached garage and a separate entrance out of the garage into the back yard. You have access to the grill, fire pit and wood, picnic table, yard games, lawn chairs, patio, river and kayaks in the back yard.

This property and owners are lovely. Everything is immaculate. We were warmly welcomed and treated so well. This is the best experience we have had staying when the owners are also onsite. The backyard is gorgeous; having stayed in summer we certainly were at peak time though I imagine it is beautiful year round.
Polly & Dennis have a beautiful, welcoming, relaxing place! They were wonderful to work with! We will definitely stay there next time we visit the UP! However, we will stay a little longer so we have more time to enjoy their beautiful home ;-)
Beautiful setting, very relaxing. Owners we’re great!
As first time users to VRBO, we hit the jackpot with this property and the hosts are amazing Polly & Dennis made us feel so welcome and were always available to answer any questions. Even though they do reside on the main floor of the home, we still had plenty of privacy. We gave them 5 stars and they deserved every one. The only issue we had was VRBO itself. There were a few issues through them that had nothing to do with the property owners that eventually worked out, but made us a bit nervous right before our vacation. Our family had a great time and our stay with them exceeded our expectations. We hope to book with them again soon. Thanks again Dennis & Polly!
We have visited Polly & Dennis’s beautiful home/property several times. They are wonderful hosts & are now friends. We are sad each time we have to leave. Even with a few days of poor weather, we found things to do & still enjoyed being there. We look forward to the next time we return to Lion’s Leap.??☀️
This home is beautiful, very comfortable and clean. Great location and close to downtown area. Polly the host is a sweetheart! Will be returning for sure as our son lives close by!
Enjoyed every minute. Will be back.
Just perfect and so peaceful. Pond and fire were magic.
Perfect base camp for four adults. Sauna great for end of the day after long hikes. Hosts are very accommodating and welcoming.
We’ve stayed at Dennis & Polly’s a few times, now. They are always so kind & welcoming. This was our first winter stay there. We came to the area to snowmobile. After a day on the trails, we came back to enjoy their beautiful home. The fireplace took away the chill & the sauna was very relaxing, after a day of riding, in the cold temps. It is so beautiful in all seasons!!
