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!

Wonderful visit

Everything two people need in a charming package. Hosts are very friendly and great communicators. Beautiful backyard. Bikes are available to use but if you bring your own there is a covered, protected space to store them.

Cozy cottage by the Lake

The stay was wonderful for our honeymoon! The cottage is spacious enough for two, but still offers privacy. The bathroom is tight, but most of your time will be spent outside in nature, or in the beautiful town of Marquette. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect Marquette Cottage

Kate and Greg were amazing hosts! The cottage was absolutely perfect for the wee I was in town to get work done and visit friends!The location is amazing, the amenities absolutely perfect for my dog and I to enjoy the home and the outdoor activities nearby. Unbeatable location to the lake and the adorable downtown Marquette.Kate and Greg had very lovely and classy touches that made us immediately feel at home. The yard was perfect for my dog and for me to work and wind down on the deck. Outstanding access with communicating, though there was very little need.Excellent hosts, will recommend and visit again!

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!

Lovely carriage house!

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.
