The Summer Home - 2 bedroom home central to downtown and NMU. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at The Summer Home!

This home is ready to welcome you with its light breezy colors, mid century modern charm, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and relaxing vibe. The home is centrally located near NMU, the shops and restaurants on Third Street, downtown Marquette, and Lake Superior.

Walking into the home you are greeted by the dining area that opens to the kitchen ahead and the living room to your right. The kitchen is well appointed and freshly painted with a 1940’s feel. The living room is furnished with comfortable, mid century modern furniture, a smart TV with Hulu and a turntable with vintage albums.

The upstairs includes a bathroom and two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed with quality linens. The guest room consists of a trundle bed with two comfortable twin beds. Both bedrooms have been freshly painted and the wood floors of honey colored fir have been freshly refinished.

The home is pet-friendly and allows up to two dogs for an additional $95 per dog. The backyard is fenced in and convenient for your dog. Please be sure to include "pets" with the number of people staying. Pets are people too! :) Because the VRBO billing system only accounts for one dog, please let us know if you will be bringing two dogs and we will add the additional charge to your reservation.

This home is centrally located on Marquette’s west side in a quiet neighborhood, approximately four blocks to the Third Street restaurants, brew pubs, coffee houses, and shops, approximately four blocks to Northern Michigan University, approximately eight blocks to the Washington Street downtown, and approximately eight blocks to the beach.

This home shares the property with a carriage house, which means there's another house in the back. The carriage house dates back to the days when a relative would live in the back house, also known as a "grandma house" or "mother-in-law house". The other home is also a vacation home (VRBO #2740656). The driveway is shared with the carriage house but your home has its own allotted parking space and has its own private fenced in backyard.

The backyard has a grill with charcoal, lighter fluid, fire starter and cooking utensils as well as a fire pit with firewood for enjoying a relaxing evening with friends and family.

Thanks for considering this summer home! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to hosting you!

Fun and funky above age 7
Overall this place was a great location and the decor was so cute. The quality of books and records were great, if I didn't have young kids this would have been such a fun place to read and zen out. I do however wish it was a bit more family friendly for younger kids. The stairs were ultra steep and not really safe for little ones (we had to buy a couple of baby gates and door latches). So I would advise guests to bring their own baby proof stuff. Also the house is an older one so it is a bit unlevel, the ventilation is in the floor but you can. See straight through the next floor. Not super awesome for quiet and the bathroom you can see up through the kitchen. Not a deal breaker for a family, but did not like that the vents weren't screwed down so I got a little worried that my toddler was going to lift it off and fall through the ceiling.

Daughter graduated from NMU
We had a great stay!!! Everything in the house was exactly as described and every amenity was provided. Great location! We walked to our daughters graduation at NMU, we walked to restaurants, we walked to get ice-cream and we walked every evening to McCartys for a beach walk. We loved everything about it!

I returned!
I had another lastminute trip and stayed here again. I appreciated the welcome basket and there was a bone for my dog! I love the record player; I was able to enjoy it this time. It was consistent with the property manager sending me a message ahead of time welcoming me the space, and the cleanliness. You can't go wrong with the price either. It's got everything you need for your stay.

A quick stop in MI.
The owners contacted me a few days prior to the visit with details on the space. It was my dog and me, and it was a perfect size, including enough space for me to do yoga in the living room. I love small details so the little welcome cookies were a wonderful thought. I appreciated the extra towels they have as well. Great space, and I recommend staying here!

The property was located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown Marquette and NMU. It’s decorated in a 50’s retro style and they included treats from local businesses like Donkers.

Great place so close to so many things
this is a great place to stay if you want to be close to campus and close to the many shops the main street. Everything worked out well and best of all there was air conditioning as it is 80 degrees while we were there. We all enjoyed the firepit and the fenced in back yard. Beds were also super comfortable.

Cute House in a Great Location
Very cute vintage vibe house. Upon opening the door, we felt special with a local amenity basket that was such a nice touch. The house is centrally located to walk to campus (we enjoyed the free Devos Museum of Art) and to Third Street where there are a bunch of restaurants and breweries. We happened upon the last Thursday night outdoor concert series with a dozen bands lining the entire span of Third Street. The area is a Social District where you can grab a drink and wander to the next spot. It was fun! The town has great restaurants with an artsy vibe. The host was very accommodating and the house had everything we needed for our stay. Both beds were very comfortable and the place was spotless! Would definitely recommend!
