About the host
Your host
Hi, I’m Jenn — the owner of Welch’s Riverview Retreat.
Our home has been part of my family since 1972, and it’s truly a joy to share this special place with guests.
Some of my favorite ways to spend time here include stand-up paddling (SUP) on the river and lake, playing my ukulele, and simply watching the incredible wildlife that makes this area so unique. I’m passionate about travel, creativity, learning new things, and brewing a great cup of coffee — especially while exploring all the wonderful coffee shops that Marquette has to offer.
I'm so happy to help you experience the beauty and magic of this place!

Why they chose this property
This beautiful area first became part of my life in the mid 80's after meeting my late husband, who grew up here and had already fallen in love with the property. Over time, it captured my heart too.
The ever-changing moods of Lake Superior — from peaceful and calm to wild and dramatic — are always inspiring. Some of my favorite moments happen lying in bed in the master suite, watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky or listening to " "Gitche Gumee" (Lake Superior) howl during a storm.
It’s amazing to see the river and yard come alive with wildlife throughout the seasons. Eagles, beavers, otters, muskrats, herons, turtles, geese, and a variety of birds and squirrels are frequent visitors — and every now and then, even wild turkeys or a fox wander through the yard!
The location also offers easy access to Marquette’s great restaurants, coffee shops, local festivals, and vibrant arts scene, along with a short drive to Munising and the breathtaking Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It’s the best of both worlds — peaceful nature and lively small-town charm.

What makes this property unique
Our home is one of the few properties in the area that offers panoramic views of Lake Superior along with direct riverfront access.
It’s a rare combination that brings together the beauty of the open lake and the peacefulness of a calm, winding river — creating the perfect retreat for both nature lovers and relaxation seekers.
