Our stay at the Harbour Loft was nothing short of fantastic! The location is ideal to enjoy the downtown activities and restaurants. The home was very spacious, well stocked and the deck overlooking Lake Superior was a perfect spot for a cocktail. We cannot wait to return to this lovely home.

Amazing Space for family vacation!

The Historic Harbor Loft was an amazing space for our vacation in Marquette! We spent a lot of time on the upper deck with phenomenal views of the lower harbor. Absolutely loved everything about the space! The game room and sauna were a wonderful addition! The host was promt with responses to questions. We would love to book this again someday!

We had a wonderful time here. It’s a cool rental property with its history and features, and the location was fantastic. I could see it being a little tough with small children, but it worked great for us and our whole family loved it.

Marquette Fat Biking

Stayed at the property and it exceeded expectations. Everything was super easy and convenient. Location was right on Lake Superior, easy walk to bars and restaurants, easy North and South trail access and even had a spot to hang bikes in the basement. We’ll stay there again for sure.

Memorial Day Trip

We had a great stay at the Harbor Loft! The location was perfect for exploring Marquette. We could walk to the breweries, restaurants, shops, and parks. It was a short drive to do some hikes and climbing as well. The property was clean and well equipped for cooking and everything else! There wasn’t anything else we could have asked for! Check in and out was very easy. Would recommend for a group of adults!

Family, Friends, and Alumni

I recently brought my family and a couple friends to Marquette for the first time this summer (2023). Being an alumni, it could not have gone better introducing my children to the great home of NMU. From Pictured Rocks to Black Rocks, the Superior Dome to the new campus, our visit was more than expected. What topped our trip off was the hospitality and exceptional accommodations that the loft provided. From communication to the amenities, this residence was perfect! The kids loved the balcony views and the ping pong table, my wife and I enjoyed the sauna and washer and dryer and the welcome gift and note was a subtle touch that will bring me back again for our next trip to Marquette. Thank you for a great trip!!

This was a unique home in a great location. We loved the location, actually! The second level patio was great, we sat out there often. The weather was moderate during our stay so we turned off the air, opened the door, opened the skylights and let the lake breeze in! The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We utilized the sauna, which was relaxing after walking around Marquette. The property had such a great location, we left our van parked and walked everywhere. Restaurants and coffee shops were close by as well as the walking/bike trail. Thank you! We had a great stay.

Spring in Marquette

The home was excellent. We loved the Sauna! This home is beautiful inside and out. Not only that but you are in walking distance to amazing food and adventure. Presque Isle hike was and adventure and the sites were historical and great exercise. Don't forget a small hike up Sugar Loaf Moutain. Visit a few light houses! Last but not least the food in the area is amazing. I am vegan and my spouse is a meat eater and we found amazing food. One of the hidden gems in Marquette is the DIGS! You must try it. From Rice Balls with Kimchi to the white fish chowder, but wait... the home made ice cream sandwich, chocolate with peanut butter ice cream. I don't want to forget the Co Op, Ore House (beet humas amazing).... and just so much more. Loved the home, the view is stunning! If going to Marquette this must stay!!!

Perfect Location to NMU

We stayed at this property for our daughter’s graduation from NMU. It was in the perfect location downtown. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was also very clean, with cozy towels and bedding. What a fun house to stay at for a long weekend!

The harbor loft is ideally located in downtown Marquette. Just across the lake and within walking distance to prime shopping and excellent restaurants. The loft itself is beautiful and well appointed. They’ve thought of everything. I am hoping to make this my home away from home again in the future.

Long weekend to see fall colors

The harbor loft was fantastic. Better than we expected. The pictures online do not do it justice. My husband and I travelled to Marquette to see the beautiful fall colors. We had never been to Marquette before and fell in love with the town. The harbor loft was very comfortable, had everything we needed and then some, and the location was wonderful. We walked everywhere. We loved sitting on the patio overlooking the water in the evenings and watching the sunrise over the water in the morning. We love that it’s a historic building. We have college aged kids and enjoyed that Marquette is also a college town. We met many college kids and were impressed by all of them. They all take pride in their school and their town. Thank you for letting us stay there. We definitely want to come back. Might try summer time next time and bring our kids.
