Cottage retreat 1/2 block to beach & bike path! Includes 2 bikes. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at our vacation cottage!

This is a four seasons home that is ready to keep you warm through a U.P. winter storm or welcome you in the summer to a cool lake breeze.

At 414 SF, this house is sized for a couple looking to escape to the U.P. We are pet friendly, so bring your dog! There is a $95 pet fee so please be sure to include "pets" with the number of people staying. Pets are people too! :) We will consider a second pet for an additional $95 per stay.

The home is located in Marquette's historic East Side and is only a half block to the most popular beach in Marquette. From Spring through Fall, the rental includes two 3 speed cruiser bikes. With the bike path less than a 30 second pedal away, it's up to you to decide if you want to go to Presque Isle Park, the Third Street Village, the downtown restaurants or Farmer's Market, or maybe the brew pubs after a full day on the beach, mountain biking, or skiing.

The home has been decorated with a mix of whimsy and local history. It has a comfortable queen sized bed, air conditioner, new furnace, and washer and dryer. Please note that the bathroom is small, as shown in the photos. While most find the bathroom manageable, if you are a larger/taller person or have mobility issues you might have a difficult time.

The home also includes WiFi and Netflix.

The patio doors in the living room open to a deck and a private backyard. The deck has a patio set and deck chairs.

The private backyard is fenced in with convenient access from the patio doors. The home is pet-friendly and allows up to two dogs for an additional $95 per dog per stay. (Because the VRBO billing system only accounts for one dog, please let us know if you will be bringing two dogs and we will add the additional charge to your reservation.) Pets are not allowed on the furniture and bed and we do ask that you clean up after your dog after he uses the yard with the disposable doggie bags that are provided in the shed.

This house is a carriage house, which means it shares the property with another house. The other house is occupied by quiet long-term renters. The driveway is shared with the long-term renters but your home has its own allotted parking space and has its own private fenced in backyard.

We are locals and live just a block away! We are happy to help you make the most of your stay. We don't think you'll find a better location in Marquette and look forward to hearing from you!

Convient and Comfortable Cottage
Greg and Kate have covered all the bases to make the cottage feel welcoming. It is well-appointed for cooking, listening to music, and enjoying the private yard. It’s also conveniently located for walking to the lake, neighborhood restaurants, or downtown. We loved being able to have our dog with us and how easy it was to access the many trails in the area. The cottage made for a lovely stay in Marquette!

This lovely little 1 bedroom carriage house is the perfect base for your stay in Marquette. Perfect size for 1-2 adults and my dog loved the big fenced backyard. Steps away from a beautiful beach and walkable to downtown.

Perfect and Cozy Cottage
We recommend this comfortable and convenient little cottage. We were in a walkable or short drive to downtown and the lake and trails were a 1/2 block away. We had our elderly dog who adjusted immediately to the house and explored the fenced backyard. Our host was phenomenal with communication and had provided ample information about the area businesses and outdoor activities. We especially appreciated Greg and Kate's personal recommendations since this was our first visit to the area. We do have one thing to consider. Since this is an older cottage, the space in the bathroom is really tight. If you have a mobility challenge it might be something to ask about. We are older and did not have an issue. We are already planning a return visit!

Fantastic Place to Stay!
I loved this property! The location was great - short walk to Lake Superior and downtown. The bed was comfortable, plenty of water pressure & hot water - I have nothing negative to say. I loved the backyard & deck. It was as described - welcoming & comfortable. I will be back in the future.

Our favorite city in the US
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this cute & cozy space. We had a snafu on our 5 hr drive which was communicated on the way. Also there was another minor issue while we were there. Both times the communication was responded to in a timely manner & we were extremely happy with our accommodations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet spot to rest your head. Location is amazing!

Location couldn’t be beat
We had a lovely stay and all the comforts we hoped for. And our dog loved sniffing around the yard and sitting in the sun. Our host was helpful and attentive and when we reached out with a question, he immediately got back to us. We really appreciated being so close to the beach and to a great walking path for our dog.

Husband & I were in town for a quick annual Marquette weekend for a bike race. Place was super clean & exactly as listed. As others have said the bathroom is a tight squeeze. Not a problem for us but could be for a larger person. Covienently located & great communication! We enjoyed our stay & would recommend it.

Perfect little cottage
This little cottage is perfect for a couple and people traveling with dogs. It is absolutely adorable, very comfortable, and has an awesome fenced in yard. We have a little dog and medium dog and they had SO much fun sitting on the deck with us and wresting in the yard. The bed is super comfy. Location is great, we walked to the beach each day and used the bikes to bike to the Presque isle trail. We also walked downtown for dinner! Host is very communicative and so friendly. We are coming back next summer!

Lovely little property in a great quiet neighborhood in downtown Marquette. Spotlessly clean. Easy communication with the owners. Check in was very simple. Great back deck and a well tendered to fully fenced in back yard. We were able to travel with our pets and we greatly appreciate that. The bed was comfy, lines and towels soft. Bathroom is pretty small but was not an issue for us. Shower was great/good water pressure etc. we would def stay here again! Thanks Greg and Kate!
