Perfect Location to NMU

We stayed at this property for our daughter’s graduation from NMU. It was in the perfect location downtown. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was also very clean, with cozy towels and bedding. What a fun house to stay at for a long weekend!

Family Gathering

The harbor loft is ideally located in downtown Marquette. Just across the lake and within walking distance to prime shopping and excellent restaurants. The loft itself is beautiful and well appointed. They’ve thought of everything. I am hoping to make this my home away from home again in the future.

Outstanding stay!

We had a great four night stay. The photos don't do justice showing how much room the house has. Three bedrooms, a sauna, ping pong table, and more. Plus, the house is walking distance to numerous restaurants, bars, and coffeehouses. The entire house was very clean and well stocked. I would highly recommend staying here. I'm

Great Headquarters for Family Wedding

We rented this beautiful location for the Wedding party at our Grandson's Wedding. The celebration was very nearby, at the Ore Doc Brewery, and both the location and the facilities were perfect for our group. Thanks for the Great Hospitality!

Long weekend to see fall colors

The harbor loft was fantastic. Better than we expected. The pictures online do not do it justice. My husband and I travelled to Marquette to see the beautiful fall colors. We had never been to Marquette before and fell in love with the town. The harbor loft was very comfortable, had everything we needed and then some, and the location was wonderful. We walked everywhere. We loved sitting on the patio overlooking the water in the evenings and watching the sunrise over the water in the morning. We love that it’s a historic building. We have college aged kids and enjoyed that Marquette is also a college town. We met many college kids and were impressed by all of them. They all take pride in their school and their town. Thank you for letting us stay there. We definitely want to come back. Might try summer time next time and bring our kids.

Long weekend dropping son off to NMU.

Wow! I booked this place because I was looking for a 3 bedroom downtown Marquette. It is usually cheaper to get a VRBO than two hotel rooms so I booked this expecting it to be a “loft.” I assumed three bedrooms would be crammed on the top floor. I was shocked to find we had the ENTIRE house! On top of that, everything was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We loved hanging out on both front porches and much to our surprise, the wooden cabinet in the family room is actually a bed! This was SO helpful when a friend passing through town to Michigan Tech needed a place to sleep. The entire place is lovely and it was a privilege to call it home for 5 days. Gratefully, Laura

Wonderful house in the heart of downtown Marquette

We came to Marquette for a family vacation as my adult son and daughter in law are considering a move there next year. We figured we should stay right in Marquette so we could get a feel for the town. The house was perfectly situated for that. You can walk to everything from there and the bike trail is right across the street with great paved paths. The house has been nicely restored and modernized. They also created a "mud room" of sorts where you can store your bikes, rollerblades, or anything you'd use on the bike path. The basement has a Sauna, professional ping pong table (I have 3 adult son's, there was a match), and a walk in shower. If you're considering a stay here, just make sure you read the instructions on overnight parking. There is only one stall next to the house for a smaller car or SUV. The other vehicles will need to park two blocks up the road at the Bluff Street parking garage (you actually have to find the alley way on the lower level of that structure and park there). This is only during weekdays. You can move the vehicles back down by the house Friday's after 6PM through the weekend. The owners did a great job communicating this so we had no problems. Just a great house in a great location and we'd definitely stay there again.

July 4 in Marquette

Prime location - nothing like it! On the lake, watched fireworks from the deck, walking distance to dining, farmers market and entertainment. On bike path and close to mountain biking trails. Sitting on the porch and watching the world go by was also a treat. Definitely would stay here again.

Harbor Loft

The property was clean, spacious and our family loved the location. We were able to walk around the water, into town and to restaurants. A glass of wine on the patio was just the way to wind down after a full day of enjoying all that the lakeshore has to offer.

Lower Harbor Must Stay

We have been going to Marquette since the late 70"s as a myself, at first and then my entire family. We all feel so lucky to have found this property available for the dates we needed. Could not be in a better location over-looking the Lower Harbor and within walking distance of just about everything that you need. The property was amazing. 2 decks, sauna, huge shower downstairs, mud room for all our toys, everyone had their own bedroom, Murphy Bed in the living area and all the comforts of home. All we did was buy groceries. Even had a space for a couple of motorcycles and a car between the buildings. Thanks for such a great stay. We will be back.
