About this property

Stay in the heart of Marquette in this lovely updated late 1800's farmhouse loaded with charm and character! The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is located steps away from Marquette's best restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops!

Local favorites, including the Sweet Water Cafe, Black Rocks Brewery, Down Wind Sports, Contrast Coffee, and Third St. Bagel are just steps away. With a short walk or an even shorter bike ride, you'll have access to the pristine beaches of Lake Superior and the excellent biking and hiking trail network.

The kitchen with bar and dining room make an excellent gathering space. The South-facing position of the home means gorgeous natural light streaming in to illuminate the maple hardwood floors.

The front porch and back deck off of main bedroom are great spots to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktails.

There are flowers all around the house, including lilacs. Hopefully some edible chives too!

Hard-wood floors, tiled bathroom, large capacity washer and dryer. New appliances including a stainless interior dishwasher, 5 burner gas stove, and a large capacity bottom freezer refrigerator.

Stocked with all the amenities an individual, couple, or small group would need for an extended stay, the house is perfect for family-style vacations in a small urban setting.

The main bathroom and shower is on the second floor and the second bath and shower is in the basement. There is no toilet on the main floor and there is no bathtub available. But there are lots of fresh towels, soap, and shampoo. We have two outdoor security cameras, one by each door.

Convenient location

This was our second stay in Marquette and we really enjoyed this home. We walked to the local shops and restaurants, and appreciated that bike rental was available directly behind the house. The yoga studio next door was lovely and welcoming.

Great location and plenty of beds.

This was my 2nd time staying here. It’s a great location close to downtown MQT and NMU. Plenty of places to grab a drink or eat within walking distance. Off street parking for 2 cars is a bonus for winter stays. Well stocked kitchen. Clean and comfortable. Also for an older home there there was nothing that triggered my allergies- a big plus. Feels more like staying with friends than a VRBO.

Great Location and Lots of Space

Great historic home that has been updated to make you feel very comfortable, clean and cozy. All spaces of the home worked great for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Don't be deterred by the basement bathroom (I was leery). The basement is so clean and well done for a laundry/2nd bathroom space. Can't beat the location - we walked downtown, to get cream, shop, etc more than once. At night there is some noise pollution since it is next to a busier street in town but the proximity to all the shops and restaurants outweighs this small issue. We would stay here again and recommend to family and friends!
