Perfect lakeside cottage. The lake is right outside your back door - a few steps and down the stairs to the beach. The location is perfect for activities in Marquette or as a launching point for other places in the UP. We went to Escanaba/Iron Mountain, the Copper Country and Big Bay this trip. Heather, the host, is amazing. We’ve stayed here many times and always enjoy our visit.

Another Superior stay at the beach!

We love staying at the cute and comfortable beach cottage on the best lake in the whole! The host was very responsive and helpful! We enjoyed our time on the beach, hiking, biking, and celebrating the fourth in the beautiful town of Marquette. We look forward to our next visit! The host was very responsive and helpful!

Home on the Beach

This is our 3rd or 4th stay at Heather’s cottage. Each time we pull in the driveway I can feel my entire body start to relax. We love spending time near Marquette. Location is perfect for activities in and around town. And having a beautiful sugar sand beach out your back door can’t be beat. We are looking forward to our next visit v

Cottage was clean and move in ready when we arrived. This wasn’t our first visit here. The beach was awesome (lake levels are down since our last visit so much more sand). Mother Nature gave us perfect weather. Since our visit was so late in the year getting up to enjoy the sunrise was easy. We have pictures from every morning. Location is perfect for activities in and around Marquette and is very close to where our friends live. We had an idyllic week

Next Chapter Happy Place on the Beach

We enjoyed another wonderful stay in the cozy cottage on the beautiful sandy beach. We took long walks and read on the beach. The place is close to downtown Marquette with all its delicious restaurants, fun shops, and activities. We biked, hiked, and swam in Lake Superior. Thank you to our host Heather who was responsive and welcoming. We will be back!

It’s a Winner!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay at the cabin on Lake Superior. The beach is sandy, with lots of space for walking. Cleanliness, quiet, and comfortable beds are important to us and the cabin checked all the boxes for those. Linens were very nice. You get both the sunrise and the sunset which we loved. Our host Heather was attentive, efficient, and friendly, never intrusive. It’s a winner!

Close to town with a private beach

The location is superb, minutes from town with a private white sand beach just steps away. Host Heather M. was gracious and helpful, accommodating our constantly changing flight schedule that resulted from the CrowdStrike computer debacle. The cabin itself is small and very tight. For example, our kingsize bed filled the main bedroom from wall to wall. And one must pass through the second bedroom to get to the main bedroom. On a brighter note, the cabin provides an authentic U.P. camp experience, and there are a brand new washer and dryer in the basement.

This is small and pretty rustic but basically fine. The beach could not be better-totally sandy and easy access. Also very close to town which was nice. It worked for 2 of us but 4 adults would be awkward as you have to pass through one bedroom to get to the other. If you brought kids that might not be an issue. Inside the house just expect a very small kitchen and keep the cooking simple. Also, the king size bed in the one bedroom is basically wall to wall but comfortable. The hosts were very responsive to communication. They live next door. No AC and it was unexpectedly HOT while we were up there. Lots of fans but still hot. We did enjoy our stay.

Comfortable, if quaint, beachside lodging for a great price

This is an excellent rental if you're looking for a cottage with beach access, easy access to Marquette and other lovely areas in the UP, and don't want to break your budget! Our host was very friendly and helpful through the check-in process, giving a great tour of the cottage. The heat and air conditioning both work great, as we had to use both of them during our stay - the upper peninsula has some impressive temperature swings throughout the day! The bedrooms and bathroom were also well equipped with comfortable beds, great towels, and tasteful decor. The living room and front room were a little lacking, with a hard bench to sit on at the main table and an uncomfortable couch. The rest of the seating (a recliner and some chairs in the front room) were comfortable but basic. These were hardly deal breakers at all, we just have been spoiled by nice couches back home :) . Overall this is a place I'd gladly recommend to people for a summer stay in Marquette and hope to rent again.

Lovely cottage near Lake Superior

We really enjoyed our week near Marquette! The cottage is perfect — very comfortable, well stocked, beautiful view from the front porch, easy beach access and in a convenient location. Short drives to excellent cycling and hiking and to amazing Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It was nice to have use of a washer and dryer during our visit. Thanks to Heather for sharing this wonderful cottage!

Amazing beach, quiet location-

This cottage was very quiet and private, in spite of it being snuggled in with other homes close by. The trees and dune really gave us a lot of privacy. The beach is AMAZING, with 180 degree views of Lake Superior, so you can see both the sunrise and sunset when we were there in July. Comfortable beds and seating. The kitchen is small, with a limited amount of space for cooking--this is not so much a criticism as a tip! Bring meals you make ahead and pop them in the microwave, or visit one of the great restaurants in Marquette--keep dining simple. We hiked or rode our bikes everyday on the very accessible trails nearby, enjoyed the great brew pubs, and the Farmer's Market in downtown Marquette.

Great stay outside of Marquette MI

Great location. Close to all the attractions around Marquette. The painted rocks were only about 45 minutes away from home. Steps away from a very private beach. Only seen a couple people during our whole stay. Home was very clean and spacious. Heather was very accommodating in letting us check in early. There were fresh cut lilacs on the table. Would recommend this property.
