About this property

Rustic Foxhole

A stay in this rustic cabin will bring beautiful sunsets on the beach, an unplugged (no wi-fi) vacation with easy access to Marquette and Munising. Two bedrooms easily sleep four, couches and loft space accessible for more visitors. A full kitchen with full utensils and cooking ware. Toaster, toaster oven, small oven, four burner stove. Dining table, TV with DVD player. This is an older cabin, the water is high mineral content and not recommended for drinking but safe for washing and cooking. Miles of sandy beach right across the two lane highway. The access to the beach is fairly limited, but the Foxhole is directly across from a scenic turnout with an overlook where miles of sandy beach await down below. The parking area on the property is gravel and the walk down to the foxhole is mixed gravel and sand. Only fifteen miles outside of Marquette and and easy drive to Munising, recommended for those looking to take in nature and outdoor activities the UP has to offer.
*Note for 2023: The property to the east of the Foxhole has been clearcut, I am unsure of how this will affect the temperature inside the Foxhole. Rates may be adjusted accordingly as the season goes on. Outdoor photos will be updated soon.

The overall vibe is right in the name, its rustic, and if that is what you're looking for this place rocks. It's very cozy and comfortable. The location is nothing short of perfection, right across the road from a beautiful beach, and with great view lines of the sunset and moon right from the comfort of a well stocked firepit.

Thank you, Foxhole! Our stay was incredible - the cabin had everything we needed. So many sleeping choices, fully-stocked kitchen and bathroom.We couldn't have asked for a better location. The beach is a 20 second walk away. The adjacent road is quiet at night. Easy to get to Marquette for groceries and shopping. Would stay again!!!

Perfect Location and Experience!

We loved our stay here, right across from Lake Superior and a beautiful beach with sandy hills. 15 minutes from Marquette. The house was very clean, and our group of 4 were very comfortable. Would certainly stay again!

Nice stay!

The cabin was clean and is well-furnished with lots of beds, if you need to sleep many, but for our 3-person family it was more than enough space. Check-in was utterly simple as we got instructions days in advance. The surrounding nature and proximity to the lake, wildlife refuges, the City of Marquette, etc. put it in an ideal location for us-- 15 minutes or so outside Marquette for total peace and quiet when we weren't busy in the city. Would definitely stay again.

Rustic Foxhole - Small and Convenient

Our stay at the Rustic Foxhole was way more than expected. Very clean, had all the amenities needed for a perfect stay. Right across from Lake Superior made it convenient for a beach day and watching the northern lights at night. Just a 10 minute jot from Marquette made it nice and close for any runs into town. Would definitely stay here again. Our host was very responsive with any questions we had. Very recommended property.

Great location, friendly hosts

The Rustic Foxhole is a great location right across a the highway from the beach, where we swam and watched beautiful sunsets every night. (The street is fairly busy with cars driving fast. We never had a hard time running across to the beach but would not let kids do it unsupervised.) It is a 10 min drive to Marquette and about 30 to Pictured Rocks area. The house is rustic as described, but was comfortable for a family of 4 and had most of the things we needed. The host was very easy to communicate with before and during our trip. There is a lot to do in the area!

Cozy rustic cabin in a beautiful location

The cabin is wonderfully cozy with rustic charm but still comfortable. "Rustic" sometimes reads as boy scout bunk beds, but in this case think lots of wood accents and earthy colors. A wonderful soft sand beach is literally across the road - 2 minutes walk to the water. We enjoyed a beach campfire in the evening and yoga and a dip in the mornings. One of my favorite parts is the outdoor shower in the ge backyard! Morning shower and coffee outdoors overlooking the woods and ferns, hearing the birds calling to each other - magical! The location is a short drive away from Marquette, close to a local sculpture garden and a pottery artist, a little longer drive to Munising and Pictured Rocks. Highly recommend!

It was a very nice place for just chilling and taking in the vibe of Northern Michigan. Great location although technically not on the beach but across a road to a scenic overlook point that you can walk down with the beach which was beautiful.Only issue was that we were given wrong instructions on entering with the code. Since the location is "off the grid" with no internet access, we could not communicate with Sarah the host. Fortunately we figured it out after a few minutes. Sharing her phone number will help the next guests.It was very clean and very quaint. We thoroughly enjoyed the space and the bed was very comfortable.The gas stand alone "fireplace" did not work. Did not want to mess with it and create a hazard.Oh yeah, when we got to open the door a mouse did come out. No big deal, this is the country and that's what you see out in "Rustic Nature" (btw, did not see any mouse droppings in the cabin)If you want a plac

Ised this as home base to do some exploring in Marquette and Munising. Had a couple days of bad weather,but we made the best of it and went down to the casino. The nice nights were spent looking at the lake while enjoying a nice fire. We actually lived the fact that there was no TV, internet, wifi and not so great cell service. It truly helped us unplug from the hectic lives we lead.The Foxhole is so cute and comfy. It was absolutely perfect for our vacation. We will definitely check into staying again the next time we are up in the UP.

Great home base!

This house was phenomenal. It's exactly as described-- very rustic, but charming nonetheless. The area surrounding the home is just as nice as the home itself. The beach access is just wonderful, as is the ability, on a clear night, to see one of those gorgeous Upper Peninsula dark skies. Overall, a great experience.
