About this property

Gorgeous and Private Lakefront Home

Gorgeous, beautifully maintained A-frame with soaring windows and every possible modern amenity. The house is 2400 square feet set on 1 1/2 acres. Follow the path through the stunning trees to your own private beach on Lake Superior. Beautifully appointed bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen, newly remodeled spa-like bathrooms, a gorgeous dining room with gas fireplace and a charming loft bedroom for the kids, all combine to make this property perfect for your family gatherings. Lakewood Shores is your destination for summer and winter activities!

Please note: this is a NON SMOKING PROPERTY AND IT IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE. IF YOU ARE A SMOKER, WHETHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, OR IF YOU WANT TO HAVE PARTIES, WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU BOOK A DIFFERENT PROPERTY.

Located just minutes from the historic town of Marquette, Lakewood Shores is your gateway to exploration of the Upper Peninsula. Take a drive to Big Bay, explore Copper Country, or the Pictured Rocks Seashore. The Upper Peninsula has it all! Bring your bikes and cruise downtown on the bike path, or paddle the nearby Au Train river in a rental kayak, or just hang out all day on the gorgeous sandy beach that will be your private paradise during your stay! Whether you are a summer person or a winter person, you will love it here. The house is just across the road from world-famous snowmobile trails, and there is plenty of room in the giant driveway to park your vehicles and trailers. Marquette Mountain Resort ski hill is just 13 minutes away!
On the property, gorgeous woods, grasslands and wildflowers are home to foxes, deer and even a bald eagle family. Lakewood Shores truly is paradise! Although there is so much to do in Marquette, from shopping to dining and exploring the history of the area, you might find that you never want to leave the pristine beauty of the sugar sand beach. Take your ice chest and binoculars down to the beach and watch the kids play on the sandbar that extends far out into the lake while you look out for our resident bald eagles.
After a busy day on the trails or the beach, you will love coming back to the stunning home with breathtaking views from the wall of windows. Go into town for a quick pizza or burger, or prepare family meals in the fully appointed kitchen and then sit down for long conversations at the giant dining room table beside the fire. After dinner, there is plenty of room for everyone to choose their activities. Puzzles or cards at the round table? Movies from our large DVD collection or from your Netflix or Amazon account on the smart TV? Read a good book from the library in one of many quiet reading areas? Cocktails on the beach or the patio? Watch the sunset from the beach and build a bonfire? The choice is yours!
Finally, enjoy a wonderful night in one of three bedrooms or on the new and very comfortable sofa bed. Or, take a long soak in the beautiful tub in the master bath. Open the windows and let the waves lull you to sleep. In the morning, take your coffee outside and watch the sun rise over the lake. (That's right, you can watch the sunrise and the sunset from your private beach!) And then, start your adventures all over again. Memories of a lifetime will be made here.

Security Camera Disclosure:
We have two outdoor security cameras. The motion light above the garage door is also a Ring camera. In addition, we have a Blink camera pointed away from the house over the back patio. We only use the cameras for security purposes, and to watch for cute woodland critters when the house is vacant. We do not record or snoop in any way when we have guests!

Cozy home for a cold winter stay.

The home was very warm and seeing the snow fall down outside the large windows in the living room was the best. We stayed by the fire in the dining room and enjoyed some bourbon and wine. This was the perfect get away!

Winter paradise

Went up for the UP 200 dog sled races and hoped to ride our snowmobiles. Unforseen circumstances kept us from riding, but the house is in the perfect place since the trail is on the opposite of M28! The house is spacious and filled with everything you could ever need. I mean everything! The hosts were very prompt in answering any questions. Hope to stay there again sometime!

UP Dream!

This home was a perfect fall getaway destination. The home was very clean and looked better than the pictures. It is an easy walk down to the beach, even in high winds. I think this home has everything and more that you would need for a vacation. It was nice having 2 bathrooms not connected to any one room. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious. Shannon was great to check on us during the stay. I would highly recommend for any trip up north.

Truly a relaxing time

We were super impressed by the cleanliness of the home. I seriously checked for places where dust would be and could not find any! The bathrooms were super clean, the furniture was clean, can you tell I was impressed with how clean the place was?! The beach was just a super short walk from the back of the home and was the perfect setting. Every amenity was thought of with this home. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Wonderful retreat for family vacation

My family, 6 adults and a 2 year old, thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay in this welcoming and comfy home. The house was incredibly clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need to make family meals. The beds were all comfortable. We liked that the house was on a larger lot and surrounded by trees which allowed us to enjoy the peaceful outdoors. The 2 year old loved playing in the sand and splashing in the water while the adults enjoyed walks on the beach. We even saw the local eagle on our walks. The house was conveniently located for us to drive into Marquette for supplies. We enjoyed hiking near Marquette, Munising, and Pictured Rocks. There is so much to see and do within a short drive. We would highly recommend staying in this lovely home.

Great Beach Vacation

This property is beautiful and spacious and made taking our family for a beach getaway very easy. The house was very clean and had everything we needed at our finger tips. Marquette is a town made for exploring and we made sure to enjoy all it had to offer: private beach at Lake Superior, hiking and biking, wild blueberry picking, going to Farmer’s Market, seeing freighter being loaded at ore dock, enjoying local music and food, etc. the list goes on! Recommend staying!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon and Dean Bourdage

Host profile image
Dean grew up in Marquette before moving to California and becoming a firefighter. Shannon is a 5th grade teacher and fell in love with the U.P. and Marquette during our many trips to visit my family. She's a city girl from San Francisco, but loves the charm of the U.P. We have two adult boys who both love the UP. Our oldest graduated from NMU and comes back as often as he can. He is a true Yooper at heart!

Why they chose this property

We have been watching for a home in the Marquette area for years. Shannon was especially attracted to Lake Superior and Lakewood Lane. She's kept an eye out for a property on Lakewood Lane for many years and finally found this one. She loved it instantly. We purchased it based on the pictures and description by our realtor. We were happy to discover that the pictures didn't do this home justice. We plan to return as often as we can, but are making it available to others to enjoy when we aren't here.

What makes this property unique

This home has all the charm of a mid-century A-frame, but with updates where they are important. The soaring wall of windows , the views of the trees, and being on Lake Superior is amazing. Sitting on the beach in the morning and having a cup of coffee is hard to beat. Then ending every day watching the sunset..... it's a fantastic place.
