About this property

2-Bedroom Luxury Loft in the Heart of Downtown Munising

Enjoy your stay at our cute, clean, and fully furnished downtown luxury loft.

UP-Scale Loft is a two-bedroom loft in the heart of downtown Munising, Michigan - Upper Peninsula. This 2nd-floor loft apartment is centrally located within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, pubs and breweries, coffee shops, and many area highlights, including Pictured Rocks Cruises and Munising Bay. Local host provides a quiet, clean, and classy space with all the amenities for a quality stay. The loft is a short distance from beaches, waterfalls, trails, and the adventures of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Hiawatha National Forest.

UP Scale Loft offers ample space for relaxing or working. Our bright, modern, and well-supplied kitchen - complete with breakfast nook- opens into a large living and dining room overlooking Main Street. High-speed internet and flat-screen Roku TV offer access to all your favorite personal streaming services or a stress-free work-cation. We furnish large bedrooms with brand-new mattresses and high-quality bedding. The bathroom features a tiled tub/shower combination, plush towels, hand towels, and washcloths. A hairdryer, ironing board, and iron are also provided.

Within a 5-minute walk, you'll find Lake Superior, parks, outdoor stores, retail shopping, restaurants, grocery, breweries, pubs, coffee shops, banking, Rx, post office, churches, hardware stores, and tennis courts. Munising’s own Great Lakes Artist Co-Op, UP-Scale Art, is located on the first floor of your rental, offering a variety of unique and local art for a perfect souvenir. Enjoy a piece in Munising's Mural Walk displaying artists' creative depiction of Munising's history right out your bedroom window. Take a short drive to nearby beaches, waterfalls, and hiking/biking/ski trails or Marquette, MI, the largest city in the UP less than a beautiful 1-hour drive along Lake Superior's shore.

Two off-street parking spots are assigned to each UP-Scale Loft, the best & only way to get reserved downtown parking for your entire stay!

Our second, 2-bedroom loft is located directly across the hall and can now additionally be booked for larger parties! Each unit has two rooms, one bath, and their own entrance.

Primarily this property is best for adults or older children. This property is not equipped for small children, is on a busy street without outside spaces for children to play, & is located directly above full-time residents that co-occupy the building. Children are welcome at your discretion. Please be respectful & bring their own sleeping & eating necessities.

**This is an old building with original hardwood floors in the middle of downtown. With that brings squeaky floors and the bustle of other downtown businesses i.e. nightlife and morning deliveries**

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how we feel about the Luxury Loft. It’s spacious, yet cozy, inviting and very clean. It has more than everything needed, and luxury added to all of it. Communication with Libby is outstanding.

Amazing Time in Munising

We had a fantastic time in Munising. The loft was clean, updated, and perfectly located. It’s located on a quaint side street within walking distance of anything and everything you need or want. I would highly recommend and if we ever make it back, this will be our first choice for lodging.

This is a nice place right in Munising - walking distance to the lake cruise and restaurants. The apartment is spacious and convenient, but it was a bit expensive compared to some of the other places we stayed in the UP.

Great apt by Pictured Rocks

We had a great time and are already planning a return trip. Excellent location in downtown Munising. Spotless, cozy, thoughtfully equipped and decorated. Fully equipped kitchen including new pots/pans/kettle/etc. Lots of space - convenient to travel to Pictured Rocks for hiking, but also comfortable to spend time at home if raining, etc. Very comfortable beds with quality sheets, fluffy pillows and new comforters. One of our favorite Vrbo and similar stays.

Just Perfect!

We loved this sweet apartment!! The location was great being close to the lake, in the heart of Munising, but also on a quiet street. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated in a cozy and welcoming way and was a wonderfully comfortable place to be that had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!

So comfy and cozy

What a great place to stay! I cannot emphasize enough how clean everything was! The beds were comfortable which was a great plus after hiking all day. There were games to play which our family enjoyed in the evening. It was so convenient to be right in town within walking distance of everything! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely loft in a great location

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Upscale Loft in Munising. The condo was comfortably furnished with beautiful art. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was updated. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen as well. The loft is within walking distance of restaurants, tourist attractions, shops etc. We really appreciated the info from the owner on places to eat, visit etc. The off street parking was nice as well. I highly recommend this lovely loft in downtown Munising. It’s spacious, clean and well appointed. We will stay there again in the future.

Cozy and perfectly appointed

Libby's place was such a perfect place for us for after our hike of the pictured rocks section of the North Country Trail. It was very cozy and had all the things that we could've needed for our stay. Munising is a lovely small town and the apartment was easy walking distance to many places in town. The apartment was impeccably clean with plenty of options for activities for a rainy day if needed. Thanks so much for the hospitality, Libby!

Superb

This was our second stay at the Luxury Loft. It was even better than we remembered. It is spacious and comfortable. The attention to detail (window coverings, artwork, and furniture choices) gives it a warm and inviting feel. Everything is high end quality and well stocked. Especially love the soft closed drawers and doors in the kitchen. The location is spectacular in downtown Munising and communication with Libby is outstanding. We would highly recommend staying here.

A few days wasn’t enough!

Friend and I stayed at this sweet spot and our only regret was not having an extra day or two (we had a total of 2 days to explore pictured rocks). The area is great, many restaurants in walking distance. Pictured rocks cruises in walking distance! A beach with a pavilion to watch the sun rise, and had bands playing in the evening. Across the street is a beautiful coffee shop with great coffee, but the property provides a small bag of coffee also (from their own coffee shop across the park!) I just loved everything about this area. Everyone is so kind and sweet. I’d love to come back! And the property was so comfortable and cozy. With plenty of brochures to read, a guest book with excellent suggestions, and gorgeous art work of the area.

About the host

Hosted by Libby Whittington

Host profile image
Welcome!

As you see, my name is Libby. I am a serial traveler/entrepreneur finally settling down in the great Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I originally moved to the area with my coffee bus, The Dream Bean Machine, after finding a retail building to rent and park at in Grand Marais in 2020. I fell into the business of short-term rentals after trading up from my first home until I landed a fantastic mixed rental unit in the heart of Downtown Munising.

As most do, I had quickly fallen in love with the UP, Pictured Rocks, Munising, and now being able to share our space with anyone ready to come check it out. My partner, pup, and I love hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, kayaking, and beaching. We also enjoy finding the best food, coffee, craft beer, and live music. We chose the UP as our home accordingly, and personally believe it to be as good as it gets!

Thank you for stopping by, we hope to see you soon!

Why they chose this property

I was a resident here when the building went up for sale. I loved the building, its location, its diverse offerings, and Munising. Needing to reinvest after selling my rental downstate, this building was a shoo-in. I was even lucky enough to have a great relationship with the sellers (my landlords)!

What makes this property unique

Location, comfort, cleanliness, and local host! We care about our lofts and your stay. We stock our rentals with cute, comfortable, high-quality supplies and use the very best professional cleaning service in town.

Staying right downtown with two off-street parking spots guaranteeing free downtown parking at all times is as good as it gets! Munising Bay Arts Association rents the lower level offering unique, local, and hand-crafted goods on-site. Munising Bay/Lake Superior is a 5-minute walk. Gallery Coffee and Fallingrock Cafe are two unique and highly sought-after coffee shops located across the street with ample seating and workspace available.
