Little slice of heaven
What a charming place. Slippery Jim's is warm and welcoming and has everything you could need. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of room. It's quiet and secluded, but not far from downtown Marquette. Lori is a great host and responded quickly anytime I had questions. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Graduation in Marquette
Just far enough out of town to not be in the chaos but close enough to get there when we needed to be. The home was very homey, and easy to come back to for relaxation. Definitely will stay again, hopefully for a longer duration.

Really enjoyed our stay. Location feels remote, but is about 20 minutes from most activities we wanted to do in the Marquette area. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Wonderful. quiet, and relaxing
We come to the Upper Peninsula every fall as a family adventure. Our choice of Slippery Jim's Raise eyebrows with the name. However, the rental was as it is described. We loved using it a our base camp as we explore Marquette - north, south, east and west. Waterfalls, trails scenic hikes, shopping downtown Marquette, and enjoying some great food. We found the provider Lori prompt and helpful. For the old folks all of us between 65-76 found it one of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Lori

Quiet & comfy - a perfect getaway!
This was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Marquette. Being just a short drive out of town (less than 20 min), it was conveniently close to trails, downtown restaurants, and beaches. The best part is not only that it felt private and secluded but the home is beautiful and the beds are comfy!
This was an adorable house situated on beautiful property. The beds were all very comfortable and it was such an enjoyable stay.
