Discover this 2-bedroom cottage in Marquette. The space features a queen bed, a full bed, and a twin bed, perfect for families or friends traveling together. Two bathrooms add convenience and privacy during your stay. The Rock Cut Cottage is 7 minutes away from downtown Marquette, yet packs its own nature-filled possibilities right on the property, such as hiking to incredible clifftop views that overlook Lake Superior, or stargazing from the comfort of the deck to the sound of the waves. The property's location is ideal for biking, with nearby trails and a paved bike path right across the street that runs along the lake. The Rock Cut Cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Marquette Mountain, and a convenient 8 minutes from Northern Michigan University. Our wood-fired sauna by the lake at night is a dream come true.
Watch the sunrise over Lake Superior from the comfort of the living room, kitchen, or the roomy deck. The storied stones of the ruins make for a perfect bonfire setting. You can hop from the UP-built sauna into the stream that cascades behind the cabin.
If you're feeling even more adventurous, you can make your way up to the top of the iconic cliff that overlooks Marquette, situated on the south end of the property. Be respectfully quiet, as bald eagles built their nest near the peak. You may even catch a glimpse of them if you're lucky.
At night you can lay out on the deck for a view of the milky way, maybe even the northern lights. Marquette glitters to the northwest of the cottage, but the sky is dark enough around the cabin for stellar views while also being able to conveniently use the restroom or grab a toasty snack during your stargazing.
As you enter the cabin you'll find a play room with board games and puzzles, and space to drop your ski equipment before you head up the stairs to the rest of the cabin.
Upstairs you'll find large windows that overlook the shimmering waters of Lake Superior from the living room and the kitchen. Nestle into the sectional couch beside the fireplace with a great book, or use the pull-down projector tv, which discreetly folds away in case you are wanting a retreat away from technology during your stay. High speed internet access is provided.
Rest in the serene primary bedroom with a memory foam queen mattress, or the bunk room which features a twin and a full memory foam mattress. Pillowy featherdown comforters await, with soft light from the forest behind the cabin filtering through the windows.
The kitchen is fully outfitted with new, high quality pots and pans if you'd like some home-cooking during your stay. We also include a guide to Marquette's restaurant, café, and bar scene, including dining options for those with food allergies.
Adventure and relaxation await! Enjoy your time in Marquette at our enchanting cottage.
