⦿ Curated interiors — art, books & cozy textures
⦿ 3 outdoor spaces — 2 porches, patio & fire pit
⦿ Spa bath — heated floors & towel warmer

Step into this thoughtfully restored 1880s bungalow in South Marquette, where historic charm meets curated modern comfort. Positioned at the city’s gateway, Blue Harbor View offers panoramic Lake Superior views and effortless walkability — just four blocks from downtown cafés, dining, and the harbor.

Guests consistently tell us they love the location, the detailed local guidebook, the beautifully stocked kitchen, and the breathtaking sunrises that pour through the expansive windows. The sky and harbor views shift throughout the day, creating a serene backdrop year-round.

This sparkling two-bedroom home blends preserved character with intentional updates. Large windows frame Lake Superior, filling the living spaces with natural light and ever-changing lake vistas.

Throughout the home, modern comforts are seamlessly integrated — a dedicated workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi (300 Mbps), ample outlets and USB ports, and a large-screen Smart TV with streaming access.

The interiors have been meticulously curated in collaboration with 1Chic Retreat, whose signature approach blends mid-century modern design with warmth and livability. Art, color, texture, and thoughtful details create a space that feels both elevated and inviting.


✶ BEDROOMS ✶
Each bedroom has been designed as a serene retreat, blending comfort with thoughtful detail. Choose from a king suite, a queen bedroom, or a queen sleeper sofa — all appointed with new mattresses, premium linens, and layered textures for restful sleep.

Wood blinds and blackout curtains allow you to tailor the light to your preference, while walk-in closets are equipped with luggage racks, wall hooks, ample hangers, extra blankets, and quilts — ensuring both ease and comfort throughout your stay.


✶ BATHROOM ✶
The spa-inspired bath invites you to unwind in quiet comfort. Heated floors warm your feet on cool mornings, while a deep soaking tub offers the perfect place to relax with provided bath salts.

Prefer a refreshing start? The rain-head shower provides a soothing experience, complemented by plush towels and thoughtfully selected bath amenities.


✶ KITCHEN ✶
The fully equipped kitchen has been thoughtfully updated for both simplicity and inspiration. A curated coffee and tea station includes whole-bean coffee with grinder, decaf options, and tea selections.

You’ll also find a well-stocked spice rack, olive oil, vinegar, and dining service for ten — along with quality cookware and serveware — making it easy to prepare everything from a quiet breakfast to a shared evening meal.

Whether cooking for two or gathering around the table with friends, the space is designed to feel effortless and welcoming.


✶ 3 OUTDOOR SPACES ✶
Embrace the seasons across three distinct outdoor spaces: two covered porches and a private backyard patio.

The east-facing porch is an ideal setting for morning coffee as the sun rises over Lake Superior. In the afternoon, the shaded front porch swing offers a peaceful place to unwind. Evenings invite you to the backyard patio, where a gas fire pit and Adirondack chairs create a warm, inviting atmosphere for conversation under the sky.

Each space has been designed to extend the comfort of the home outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy Marquette’s changing light and fresh lake air.


✶ AMENITIES HIGHLIGHTS ✶

⦿ Air Conditioning — modern energy-efficient mini-split system
⦿ Beach Essentials — chairs, towels & cooler for lakeside days
⦿ Bike Storage — secure your bikes in our shed
⦿ Curated Coffee & Tea — regular, decaf & tea selections
⦿ Dedicated Workspace — generous outlets, USB ports & high-speed Wi-Fi (300 Mbps)

Come experience the warmth, style, and effortless convenience of Blue Harbor View — where panoramic lake views meet downtown walkability, and every detail has been designed with comfort in mind. We look forward to welcoming you to your Marquette retreat.



✶ OUR CITY LOCATION ✶
Blue Harbor View is located near the entrance to downtown Marquette with panoramic Lake Superior views and easy walking access to the harbor, shoreline trails, cafés, and breweries.

Because of this central location near Front Street, guests will hear typical downtown vehicle traffic, especially during daytime hours and busier summer weekends

If you are seeking a very quiet, rural environment, this may not be the best fit. Guests who value lake views, walkability, and close access to downtown typically find the location ideal.


✶ AIR CONDITIONING ✶
A new energy-efficient mini-split air-conditioning system has been installed in April 2026.


✶ OUR RENTAL AGREEMENT ✶
Guests are required to e-sign our guest contact form and rental agreement within 7 days of booking. This confirms reservation details, house policies, and emergency contact information.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions before signing.


✶ CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT✶

• Check-in: 4:00 PM or later

Blue Harbor View was the most well appointed and thoughtfully set up vacation rental we've ever stayed at, and we've stayed at a good number! Host Susan had thought of everything we might possibly want: excellent coffee, oil and vinegar, a myriad of spices, throw pillows to make yourself comfortable, a real bathtub to take a soak in. She seems to know where you might want to sit to take your shoes off, or where you'd want a hook to hang your clothes, or a socket to charge your phone.I was most impressed by the booklet with clear instructions provided for guests, professionally designed and printed on glossy paper. There were not only the usual check out instructions, rather, everything a guest might possibly need to know was explained: How to run the coffee machine or the coffee grinder, where to put the trash, how to adjust the thermostat. It even tells you the history of the bungalow, which I particularly loved to learn about!Blue Harbor View was spic and span, with ample supplies of everything, from toilet paper to dish soap to trash bags. Furnishings and appliances are high quality. No run-of-the-mill dinky IKEA stuff, no loud dishwasher, no worse-for-the-wear coffeemaker, no bent forks or sticky scissors. The decor is cheery and tadteful, the couch excellent to take a nap on, the generously large windows towards the Harbor indeed give you a sweeping view of Lake Superior. All rooms are well proportioned and the beds are comfortable. Truly, top notch and affordable!

The original paintings, the beautiful view of Lake Superior, the original quilts hanging in the bedrooms and the Scandinavian style were all very impressive. Susan convinced us that the Blizzard conditions would only last for a day and we had a great time. She was right. We skied in Presque Isle park which was awesome and the hills of the Fit Strip in Marquette were enjoyed by beginners. We would love to come back.

The home was exactly as pictured. It was very clean, and stocked incredibly well!! We loved starting the mornings with our coffee around the fire table in the back. Downtown was a short walk away and the beach was a 5 minute car ride. We loved everything about the house. A second shower would have been a bonus, but we didn’t have a problem making it work with one. We will definitely stay here again!
