Marquette, Michigan
This retreat space is the best of all worlds: it is conveniently located within a few minutes of Marquette and yet also a few minutes from of the best outdoor recreation in the upper midwest. It is situated on popular County Road 550 on six peaceful acres including a pond, trout stream, park like large yard, camp fire pit, gardens and woods. It is comfortable and restorative yet minutes from wilderness areas, Lake Superior beaches, hiking and mountain biking trails, downtown Marquette and shopping areas. Many of our guests enjoy the space as a destination in and of itself for personal renewal.
While not out exploring, you will enjoy this peaceful and bright home. The open floor plan makes it easy to enjoy each other’s company while making use of the well outfitted kitchen, relaxing in the living room and taking in views of back yard from the dining area. This easy flow of the space extends onto the porch where you will enjoy relaxing, dining or grilling. Stargazing, deer watching, campfires by the pond, sitting by the babbling stream, or soaking in the outdoor clawfoot tub all add to the unique experience of this special place.
Guest access
Entire living space, porch and large backyard are available to guests. There is plenty of parking.
Other things to note
Guests make use of the WiFi calling from their smart phones or make their calls from other locations during their stay. The cellular reception is intermittent but the cable WiFi is exceptional. A glamping space is available to rent in the woods on the adjacent property. The owner and guests may utilize the shared driveway to access the parcel during your stay. Your privacy in the backyard, porch and house will be maintained.
The glamping site is a new Amish built tiny house on wheels that sleeps two. You may add this on to your reservation for $85-$125/night depending on dates. It includes a complete kitchen, ac, water, shower, composting toilet and its own fire pit. It is a nature retreat space thus has no tv or WiFi, and very intermittent cell signals. Contact Melissa if you are interested.
We really enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed, was well-decorated, clean and comfortable. The property was amazing. Especially the pond and trout stream. Melissa, the host, communicated well, was kind and gracious, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! We would definitely stay here again.
I can’t emphasize how wonderful our visit was! This home was perfect for our long weekend getaway to Marquette. Perfectly detailed check-in, fast replies for questions. This home is located in the perfect location to enjoy town and the parks without additional excess driving. Exceptionally clean and comfortable! We look forward to another visit soon!
Property is very well maintained, great back yard , wonderful and very helpful and responsive host. Location is also convenient; within few miles to walking and biking trails and short driving distance to downtown area. The only negative for us was proximity of the house to main road and it is very noticeable even inside the house due to noise from the road, otherwise I would have rated 5 stars.
It was the best vacation we’ve had in years. Great house, location, and out host Melissa. We’d come back there again with no hesitation!! Thanks for your kindness? Matt and Gary
We enjoyed our stay, as we were in town for activities at NMU. NMU was about 5 min away. Many trailheads are close by, including a trail that runs parallel to the property (best found on google maps). As noted, this property is located on Hwy 550 and there is vehicle noise at certain points of the day. However, the fans provided in the bedrooms worked well to mask the noise while we were sleeping. This is a great place to be close to many wonderful adventure opportunities in the MQT area.
This was the perfect spot for a friends getaway. The back of the property is beautiful. We enjoyed watching the ducks and the beaver in the pond. We also loved seeing the deer make an appearance. The front of the property is close to a busy road so sometimes the traffic noise was disappointing; however, it did not detract from our visit. The owner, Melissa, was wonderful and extremely helpful.
The house has a beautiful backyard and big window. I drank coffee every morning looking out that window. This house is also located near many hiking trails. We were just out the city of Marquette. We loved our stay.
Great location for NMU parents visiting our son! Very comfortable home with beautiful stream in backyard.
We enjoyed a great adventure in Marquette, with its beauty second to none. This house was a perfect home base for fueling and relaxing in between. Conveniently located on the main road just north of downtown and close proximity to lots of landmark hikes, bikes and beaches. Thank you for the hospitality, Melissa!
We really loved the backyard and well stocked kitchen equipment!
