Marquette, Michigan
Your unique home on Lake Superior is situated on a dune running straight up from the beach. It has an unrivaled spectacular 180 degree view of mighty Lake Superior to the north, with Marquette on the western end of the shoreline and Shot Point on the eastern end of the shoreline.
Your home has a lakeside primary bedroom with a king size bed, a second bedroom with bunk beds and a washer and dryer, and a four-seasons room with a full bed, futon bed, picnic table and a striking view of Lake Superior.
Your comfortable and inviting living room has two couches, chairs, a gas fireplace, a large dining table, and three large windows directly overlooking pine trees, shore and surf. The largest picture window has a magnificent direct northern view of Lake Superior in all its placid beauty or wind blown fury.
Your home has a full kitchen with all the cooking equipment, serving dishes and utensils that you should need, which includes a standard top-freezer refrigerator, an electric stove top and oven, a microwave, and a coffee machine.
There is one full bath with a shower and a long tub.
Your home is provided with digital cable, internet and WiFi access for your convenience and enjoyment.
Watch the numerous comings and goings of bald eagles and ore boats from inside the living room, sitting in the front yard, or down on the beach.
Enjoy direct access to the beach for swimming, beach fires, beach walks and sunsets. You can bring your own canoes and kayaks and carry them down to the beach.
Grill your dinner on the barbecue outside and choose between eating on an outdoor table in the front yard, a picnic table in the four-seasons room, or the dining room table in the living room.
Enjoy an evening swim and then sit around a warm beach fire while watching the ever-changing colors of the evening sunset. The lights of Marquette will soon start to glimmer. Look up into the night sky and be amazed at the number of stars and the amount of the Milky Way you can see.
Your house and beach is many miles away from any source of light pollution and the darkness of the night combined with the 180 degree viewpoint of the sky looking north over Lake Superior provides a spectacular star gazing feast for the senses.
Watch for meteors, satellites and the International Space Station overhead. Keep watch at night over Lake Superior to the north for occasional incredible displays of Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis). Track the moon and planetary schedules for additional astronomical treats. (Sometimes a new moon will rise in the middle of the night over Shot Point to the east and appear as a crimson sliver in the late night sky.) Marvel at the occasional night displays of brilliant lightning above mighty Lake Superior.
Your house is conveniently located right on Michigan State Highway M-28 East, 10 miles east of Marquette. The Ojibway Casino is less than a mile west on M-28, and the Northern Michigan University Golf Course is less than 3 miles west on M-28.
Take advantage of the extensive Marquette and Upper Peninsula trail systems and nearby access to the Kawbawgam Cross Country Ski Trail just across M-28 to the south. Visit the Marquette Mountain Ski and Bike Area, which has three chair lifts for downhill skiing.
The city of Marquette (pop. 17,000) is conveniently located 10 miles away. Explore the vibrant nightlife in historic downtown Marquette generated by summer tourism, Northern Michigan University students and the friendly locals. There are many restaurants and bars within walking distance of each other that feature good food, interesting locations, and friendly meeting places.
The Marquette area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula provides visitors with access to every imaginable outdoor activity. You can enjoy fishing, boating, biking, hiking, swimming and both downhill and cross country skiing in addition to many other local events and pastimes.

This was our second time staying in Shangri-La and we enjoyed it just as much as the first visit. We got to the see the northern lights for the second time from the lake view picture window. We enjoyed just sitting and listening to the waves crash on the beach from the comfort of the house. On those cool mornings my wife and I enjoyed the gas fireplace. We will certainly be coming back again soon.
We had a wonderful stay at Shangri-La! The house was in a perfect location on Lake Superior to either walk the beach, listen to the waves, watch the lake and see beautiful sunsets. We relaxed and enjoyed the peacefulness, comfort and all the essentials the house had to offer. We'll definitely be back next year!
We had a wonderful time at Shangri-La! The home is cozy and the views are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
This was the 4th or 5th time we have stayed at Shangri-La. We spend quite a bit of time in the UP and absolutely love Scott's place. Convenient location, incredible beach, and the view from the house, inside or out, is unparalleled.
Our kids (13, 11, and 8) said it was the best family vacation yet! It was is much fun being on Lake Superior- hearing the waves and making bonfires on the beach at night. Scott was easy and pleasant to work with. Great location. Cozy cottage! Hope to come again!
Our family had a great time. The house was just like the pictures very clean great beach and beautiful sunsets! We had great weather and the water temp was the warmest we have ever felt from Lake Superior! We can’t wait to stay here again!
Had everyting we needed. Great star gazing location
We had the most wonderful vacation at Shangri-La! The house was perfect for our little family, the beach/lake was unreal, sunsets, etc. we would stay here again in a heartbeat! Scott was incredible responsive & helpful. It was unforgettable ❤️
Great location. Amazing beach! Close to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We saw the bald eagle multiple times, found beach glass and pretty rocks, played board games and hide and seek on the rainy days (great house for hide and seek with the kids) and the house had all we needed for cooking at home. Comfortable beds and could hear the waves at night. Loved the week!
Very clean with everything you could need. Host very responsive and kept us up to date on current weather conditions.
Older house, but very well maintained. Excellent accommodations! Good instructions before and upon arrival. Everything well stocked, especially extra blankets. No air conditioning but it’s not needed. We experienced unseasonably warm temps in low- to mid-80’s the whole week. We used only one of numerous available fans (twice in 7 days). TIP: close blinds on west side of house in the afternoon. Only time house got (slightly) too warm was when we were gone all day and left the blinds open with mid-80 temps. Nice beach. Buggy one day, but we sat out bug-free more than one day. We are fussy about beds. Find many hotel beds uncomfortable and we wake up stiff. The master bedroom king bed was great. Slept well with no morning aches. We definitely will stay here again whenever we vacation in Marquette area.
Awesome as always. 4th stay in 4 years.
Enjoyed our stay. Very cute cottage. Loved the vintage cottage and it’s decorations. Fit our needs as we were mostly out adventuring all day. Loved the fireplace to warm up us in the morning and evening. Great communication with the host.
Enjoyed the home immensely .... lake view was perfect.
The house had everything we needed. Views and beach access were exceptional!
This was at least our 4th visit to Shangri-La. It’s always relaxing and enjoyable visit. So much to do, or not - a perfect spot.
We had a wonderful time at the property. Very relaxing. East walk down to the beach. The property had everything we needed. Thank you!
Our stay was great! The cabin was in such a peaceful spot, but close to many tourist areas and the city of Marquette. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and they had so many items for that made our stay even better! There is a 180 view of Lake Superior and the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular! We enjoyed the beach area which was almost empty every day. If we come back to the area, we would love to stay here again.
This was our 3rd stay at Shangri-La and the reason we keep returning is we have found it to be homey, comfortable, in a great location, with the best views of anywhere we have stayed on Superior. Both sunrises and sunsets from the living room or beach, the North Country Trail across the road, and convenient to all that Marquette and the region have to offer.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home on the lake! Exceptionally clean and totally well-stocked with everything from a perfect kitchen to an awesome library. Would love to return!
