Country in the City - This charming home has a comfy clean feel, with a very peaceful surrounding. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. MB-has a Tempur-pedic King size bed, 2nd has a Queen, and 3rd has two twin beds. Sun room- has a pull out couch w/an extra padding available. Kitchen is well equipped & seats 6, plenty of essentials to help make a meal. Living room has a 55" TV, and a gas fireplace too cozy by in the cooler months.

Sit back, relax, grill out on a weber gas grill, and watch the deer & wild life around, you'll be surprised sometimes how many deer you may see. Sit on the back deck, or front porch. Play some corn hole, have a cold drink. Just 3/4 mile from town, quiet street kids can play with no worries. Take a walk, just unwind and relax. Life is short, make some memories.
For the Kids- pack-n-play, highchair, games, books & adding more
I leave a gift basket of goodies, bread to bake fresh, just a down home feel.

Very beautiful house and everything was as expected and more. The host was great and went above and beyond with lots of extras. The house sits in a perfect setting and the sun room was our favorite spot to sit, and a bonus was to watch the deer. Thank you for sharing your space with our family while in town. Rob & Ann

This is the second time we have visited country in the city and it was as great as the first time! The home is spacious, located close to town and met all our needs. We had my dad this time and it is a one level living with only 2 steps into the home which was perfect for him. We will always choose this home as our first chose when visiting Marlette MI. Thank you for all the little extra touches. We loved them!

What a great place to stay! The house is very well kept and spotless. Communication was better than any VRBO host we have ever had. We stayed two nights for a family members wedding. We were all very impressed and would encourage others to stay here if you are in need of lodging in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Gloria Korte

Host profile image
We grew up in Marlette, and like the small town feel of every day life.
I love to spend time with my family, they are a big part of our life. We have three grown children, now expanding into getting married, and relationships. We are now grandparents, love love love.
We are making some of our dreams come true, we dreamed about for so many years. We love to travel, and see what this world has to offer. It's a small world, in so many ways when you really look, and live it. Start making them happen. try to get some
I work on living healthier, one day at a time.
We have a construction Co. Dan is the local Fire Chief, and I am retired now. We are always busy with something going on.
I find it very interesting to see where everyone is coming from, too little Marlette. I love to make a good impression on your stay. Hoping you will see the love, and care we put into it. I like to connect with the guest if they are able, if its thru messages, or meeting. Just a small conversation, can make such a connection. It's the small things in life.

Why they chose this property

Dan and I built these homes in this neighborhood. We take a lot of pride, and joy of how it looks. We raised out kids here. It has a peace and calmness in the area. We love to watch the wild life around, see the deer walking up. The quietness of how it is. How close we are to town, to get something, or take care of something. We love to walk the area, swing a golf club. We like how you don't have to worry about anyone coming down the road hardly. Kids can play outside with no worry's, ride a bike. Just be a kid
Neighbors are great.

What makes this property unique

It is a peaceful quiet area. It's beautiful, feels as if you are in the country. You will probably see some deer, or other wildlife out in the AM and evenings. Kids can play outside with no worry's. Just 3/4 mile from the main light. So walking or riding distance if you wish, paved road. You'll see the cornfield & golf flag across the road in the summer. Manicured yards, and lots throughout. Just a peaceful area, with NO hustle, and bustle. A good place to really relax, and take in the beauty of the outdoors. Sit on the deck, watch the deer, bunnies, turkeys, or other wildlife around. Grill out on the deck & have some laughs. Have a campfire, make some s'mores. Go inside, put your feet up, have a glass of wine. Cozy up by the fireplace in side on those cooler times. You truly will relax, and feel very comfortable. Make some memories.
