We loved our short but sweet stay in this charming, nicely updated old farmhouse. Comfy beds and thoughtful touches everywhere. Great communication with the host, The house was very clean , and in a great location for enjoying the Marquette area restaurants, museums, shopping. We appreciated the air conditioning because of the smoky air quality caused by fires in the Boundary Waters area. We hope to stay here the next time we visit our family who live nearby.

NMU graduation trip

Wish we would have discovered this gem of a property a couple years ago when my son transferred to NMU. While 12 miles outside of Marquette, the peacefulness of the location was perfect. It worked perfectly for our family to stay together while in town for NMU’s graduation.
