About this property

Come Enjoy! Sauna, Pool Table, Game Room, Firepit, Gym, & Plenty of Parking!

You'll begin creating memories you'll want for a lifetime in this 4 level oasis, spacious enough to mingle with your friends and family, or disappear from them as needed 😉. This country chic 5 bedroom ranch-style farmhouse sleeps 12. 1 king size bed, 2 queen beds, 1 full size bed, 2 twin beds, 1 pull out sofa bed (in the living room), and 1 full size quite comfy futon. All mattresses are newly replaced in the past 2 years. There are 2 spacious bathrooms. The bathroom upstairs encumbers a full closet for everyone's products, a full bathtub / shower combo, recessed lighting and above sink vanity lights. The downstairs bathroom draws waves with its nautical theme, vintage charm, stand-up shower and extra shelving for storing your essentials. The sauna is custom built right off of the attached garage. It has a changing room attached, with a shower and lower bucket faucet all inside of it. Quite a great place to meditate! Kitchen appliances are stainless steel. There is a beauty salon area (pre-booking available with a professional hairdresser for large groups). Thereis a beauty salon, equipped with a hair washing sink, and brand new hair styling tools for your use. These include a hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, blowout styling brush and more! In this same room you will find the brand new washer & dryer, available to use at your convenience (along with supplied detergents & dryer sheets). Please note that the home has hard water, so improper laundering techniques may hinder your results. The dining room table seats 6 and the kitchen table seats 4. All of the rooms are also very soundproof which is another bonus for people in separate areas of the house doing completely different activities.

We do our best to make sure the house is filled with everything you may need for your daily living, including all general cookware (i.e. pots, pans, spatulas, dishes, utensils), Crock-Pot, regular coffee pot, a Kuerig, tea kettle, baking sheets, muffin pans, spices, dish soap, paper towel, et cetera. Please note that we cannot always guarantee these items, so please ask ahead if you will need a specific item. In the restrooms we provide all linens such as: bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, toilet paper, hand soap, a hair dryer, and then some. In case you forget yours - we also strive to consistently stock body wash, hair towels, shower caps, cotton balls, cotton pads, and even Q-tips. We truly want you to have the best experience possible at the ranch, as memories usually aren't made making store runs.

Basic amenities include: fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kuerig, toasters, washer and dryer, etc.

Moving outdoors, on the .73 acres you will have plenty of room in the front and back and front yards to let the kids and (up to) 3 dogs run freely! It is a great yard, perfect for socializing and soaking up the sun, usually very privately as there are is only on le neighboring business property! In the backyard, you will find a classic circular charcoal grill, as well as a propane tailgate style grill with multiple grate options. Enjoy all that grilling right on the back patio at the table for 8, all while soaking up the sun, or blocking it with the table's umbrella. Later on, you can kick back, grab a drink, a pal, and a seat around the in-ground fire pit. This firepit is stocked with wood, ready to create those warm summertime memories with S'mores and Brats around the crackles of a nice enjoyable fire.

Back inside, in the game room you will find a pool table and numerous other games. You will find a 65" flatscreen TV in the living room, a 38" tv in the blue Bedroom, and a 48" TV in the master bedroom. In the heated garage (connected to the game room) you will find a foosball table, a ping pong table, and a dry bar.

The parking area is large and can easily accommodate large vehicles as well as a number of trailers and RV's. It is easy to find, located right off of US HWY 41 in a beautiful country setting. It's a 15-minute drive to Marquette, a 40-minute drive to Munising and one hour to Escanaba.

We do our best to accommodate all of the items in this home for your comfort and pleasure, however from time to time - items are broken. We appreciate knowing when they are, so we have time to replace them for the next guest's arrival. Please respect this leniency. Also, we cannot promise that each and every item listed will be available for each and every stay, but we can promise that we have and will continue to always do everything we can to keep up with replacements and the changes needed to accommodate your stay to the closest representation humanly possible. Lastly, please note this is a very large (2200 square ft) ranch-style home, in the country, and thus it is more shabby-chic/vintage-modern/farmhouse than it is Taj Mahal! Please book according to your preference.

There are plenty of ATV and snowmobile trails nearby, which would likely not be so accessible if the ranch was not located on a main highway. There are also plenty of waterfalls nearby to which easily make a full day of simply touring the plentiful amouny of nearby waterfalls. It truly is a country vacation getaway! So come on over, drop your bags and relax at the Hill Crest Ranch!

Second stay, and we will be back!

My family loves this house. The location is convenient. The house is so comfortable. And the sauna, pool table, ping pong, and foosball make it such an enjoyable place for everyone to stay. We have stayed here twice now, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

6 thumbs up

What a fantastic property and was as exactly as advertised, with plenty of room for all of us. The location was close enough to Marquette. I found it Peaceful and quiet with plenty of on-site activities for everyone such as the pool table (which got the most use), ping pong, outdoor grill, sauna, and fire pit. The kitchen has all of the supplies and made our stay very pleasant. The house was very well kept and clean. Everything we needed was provided. If you're ever heading to the Marquette area, this is a must stay!

Perfect House for Our Family!

We had a wedding in the area and this property was perfect for our stay. We spent a lot of time in the backyard playing outdoor games. Plenty of bedrooms and space for indoor activities. We utilized the indoor game rooms. We did blow a fuse while prepping for the wedding and the owners were very responsive in taking care of the issue. We have our own VRBO location in SW Michigan and we highly recommend this home in the U.P.

Family reyreat

The house was a nice size for our group. The owner was accommodating as he allowed us to check in early and made sure we had bonfire wood. Because it was so wet we weren't able to have a bonfire. All the game tables were undeveloped but the kids had fun anyway. The place is in need of TLC ( fresh paint, rickety chairs) but it was ok

Great spot for that Greywalls golf getaway

Overall, this property has everything you need for a large group to have a comfortable stay. I brought up a group of 8 guys ranging in age of 42-74. All of us were able to have our own bed and we slept very comfortable. The living space in the home was awesome. We tended to be in the bar area playing pool or the kitchen area playing poker. All of the guys agreed that this was a nice find for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone with a larger group coming to the area. Greywalls is a beast by the way.

Blended Family Vacation

Great location with a short drive to downtown Marquette, hikes and breweries. Our adult family with a dog had plenty of room with everyone having their own bedroom. The guys played pool while I prepared food in the large kitchen that was fully stocked with extra pantry items in case anyone forgets the basic spices ,etc. The large fridge/freezer fit all our food. We cooked our dinners on the webber grill and enjoyed the campfires in the evening. The stack of wood waiting for us was a nice touch.
