About this property

Cozy Cottage on Lake Superior

Cummins Camp is nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Superior. The front windows afford views of a woodland pond, Lake Superior and the city of Marquette in the distance. A short walk will take you to miles of clean sugar sand beach and crystal clear water. Ducks, geese, herons and eagles are frequent visitors.
Downtown Marquette is 4 miles away. At the end of the driveway is the Iron Ore Heritage Trail/North Country Scenic Trail. It connects to other hiking and biking trail systems in Marquette. This is a non-motorized trail in the summer and snowmobile trail in the winter. Marquette Mountain (downhill skiing), and several cross country ski trails, including the Noquemanon trail network are within 10 miles.
Cummins Camp has a large living room and kitchen, 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with a double, and two bathrooms on the main floor. There is an additional double bed in the finished basement. There is a screened porch on the back and a deck overlooking the lake. Amenities include dish washer, washer and dryer, cable tv, wi-fi and a wood burning fireplace. There is no land line and no air conditioning (the lake usually provides its own cool air).

Marquette family gathering

We agree with other reviews, the pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is a great location, and our extended family staying in other rentals were all jealous of our beach access and natural beauty. We definitely want to return to stay here when we visit Marquette again!

Family Visit

We wanted a long weekend with our son that lives in the area. Beautiful view and owner was great to work with. Part of our visit was to watch the start of the dog sled races and those unfortunately were cancelled. They offered to refund our rental, even though they did not have to. Very much appreciated. Will be looking to return next year.

First Family Get-a-away

My husband and I rented this place from PA, and had our daughter and son-in-law, and two year old twins join us from Minnesota. We had relatives in the area to visit, and this place worked out perfectly for all of us. The decor was very nice, but we actually put away a lot of the nice things before the twins arrived. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was an enjoyable and successful week!

Beautiful views of Lake Superior

We rented Cummings Camp for the UP200. The communication with the host, Jean, was excellent. Detailed instructions for arrival and tips on the race! Even thought the dog sled race was cancelled we still had a great time in Marquette!!

We all loved this cozy cabin! Comforts of home with Lake Superior an awesome little “swimming hole.” Bikes, beach walks, swims, naps and hikes all right in front of you. Easy 10-min trip to Marquette. Owner nothing but helpful.

Perfect Marquette Sanctuary

This was one of the cleanest and best-equipped properties we have ever stayed at. The location is perfect; just out of town with private beach access that cannot be beaten. It was so quiet at night that I didn't even have to wear my earplugs (light sleeper). All of the beautiful, artistic touches in every space of the home were a delight. Pictures of the space in the listing do not do it justice, this is certainly a hidden gem and we plan to return!

UP get away

If you are looking for the best Lake Superior view possible with peace/quiet, and a wonderful property, look no further. It is December, lots of snow for beauty, wonderful walks down the sandy beach and a warm fireplace -- already looking at dates for next year. Jean, the property manager was most helpful and available at all times. Craig and Jan

New Traditions

Comfort. From a well-stocked kitchen capable of handling Thanksgiving to a heated bathroom floor and toasty fireplace, the Cummins' Cabin makes being away from home for the holidays a revelation. View. As you enter through the back door and kick off your boots, you are completely unaware of what is around the corner - a wall of windows taking in the ever expansive Lake Superior. Location. Quick access to an endless sandy beach. Quick access to an endless rails-to-trails bike path. Quick access to endless restaurants and shopping in downtown Marquette. Perfect. Thank you, Jean, for sharing your home with us.

This property has such beautiful views we spent our evenings watching the clouds and surf through the big windows looking out over the lake. This location is close to a myriad of natural wonders. Something for everyone.
