Discover Lil' Casa Marquette!

Welcome to Lil' Casa – Your Cosy Marquette Getaway!
Nestled in a peaceful area just off the beaten track, Lil' Casa is an inviting, Southwest-style home in beautiful Marquette, Michigan. Whether you are here to launch your next outdoor adventure, visit your student at NMU, attend a vibrant community festival, or simply unwind and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep, Lil' Casa is the perfect basecamp.

The Perfect Location
Centrally located, you are just minutes away from everything Marquette has to offer. If you love exploring by foot or bike, you will love being steps from the Marquette Bike Path System, giving you easy access to the city centre district, the Lower Harbour, and the breathtaking Presque Isle nature area.

Minutes away from: Marquette Mountain, NMU, the hospital, local restaurants, and supermarkets.

Outdoor adventures: Biking, boating, hiking, and snow sports are right at your doorstep.

A scenic stroll: Walk up the road to the east towards the Fit-Strip for an awesome view of Hogsback Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Lake Superior in the distance. A short walk through the Fit-Strip and the beautiful adjacent cemetery—locally rumoured to be designed by the same landscaping pioneers behind Central Park and the Biltmore Estate—leads you right into the heart of the city.

Your Private Outdoor Oasis
In the back of the house, you’ll find a fully fenced-in backyard and private deck. It’s the ultimate spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a drink after a day of exploring. Depending on the season, you can pick a fresh peach from the tree, grab a handful of red raspberries from the abundant bushes, or harvest ripe grapes in October. The garden is beautifully alive with blooming irises, Lily of the Valley, lilac bushes, and grapevines.

Dogs: If you would like to bring a dog, reach out to me with information about your pet and your request. There is a pet fee of $75.00

Clean and quiet neighborhood in a good location. The back yard seemed overgrown and not very appealing. I would not recommend if you are traveling with small children, the steps from the kitchen to the back deck/basement area can be dangerous. Comfy furniture and good working A/C in the bedroom and a nice kitchen.

Charming house a quick drive away from downtown

The house was amazing and an easy access point to a bike trail (3 houses away), the downtown area as well as the more known shopping (meijer, target, walmart). The neighborhood was fantastic as well. Would book again in the future.
