Your own Nature Retreat, minutes from town and wilderness opportuntities

Melissa is a gracious host. Her care is evident all over the property. The back porch and back yard are a peaceful oasis. There are comfortable beds, blanket options, and is in a perfect location for exploring.

Had an amazing weekend at this beautiful property!

Property location is beautiful. Gangs of turkeys offered endless entertainment.

It was a Relaxing stay for my family and so convenient to blackrocks and sugarloaf mountain! I loved having a morning cup of coffee overlooking the pond. We seen a crane, hummingbirds and ducks. Also the star view was amazing.

Very nice place with everything we needed after our days of seeing the sites. Spotless and comfortable. Lovely back yard area was a great place to relax.

What a wonderful relaxing place to vacation in Marquette. Our boys loved the pond and the stream and the quiet backyard. We also really appreciated how close we were to town and the black rocks and wonderful dining. The home was clean and had all the amenities needed to be a home away from home. Beds were clean and comfortable too. Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed our time in Marquette. The adventures hiking to waterfalls, jumping off the black rocks, swimming at lake Independence, climbing Sugarloaf and exploring downtown were just what we needed. Melissa was a great host. She was helpful and responsive when needed, but we didn't need her much because we had no issues. The house and the property were well maintaine and welcoming. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. We loved the stream in the backyard. We spent our time at the house investigating the stream and fishing for trout. (We caught 1 little brook trout, a perfect experience for our young daughter). We hope to come back to Marquette soon and would love to stay here again.

The host is a great communicator. We found the house very clean and welcoming. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The back yard was beautiful and relaxing. The only thing I would point out is that you can hear the traffic in front of the house on a busy road if that's something that would bother you. The location of the house to Marquette and many hiking trails and beaches was great.

Everything you need, Melissa provided and everything ypud like to go do is super close by. Especially check out the Blackrocks cliffs!

This is a great property. There was a beautiful pond with wildflowers around it, a nice fire pit, and outdoor relaxation areas, as well as a creek my boys enjoyed tromping through. A heads up, the hot tub is not a traditional hot tub, but rather a bath tub outside that you can will with hot water. The house is older, but well maintained and very clean. The location is fantastic. So close to downtown, hiking, the beach, just really great! The only downside to the location is that it is close to a busy road, so there is some traffic noise. Melissa, the owner, was an excellent host. She's clearly thought through what people will need when staying at her property. She was easy to communicate with and welcoming. We'd love to visit again!
