About this property
Beautiful waterfront retreat with kayaks and bikes
You will love this perfect waterfront retreat on the Chocolay River with Lake Superior access. This custom built house is designed to take advantage of the great outdoors. From the cozy covered front porch to the spacious backyard, this home offers a relaxing, private oasis overlooking 100' of river frontage with beautiful views, a 530 sq ft. raised wood deck, a hot tub and even a pirate ship playhouse designed for hours of fun for the littles. In the winter, you can access Marquette’s vast snowmobile trails right from the driveway!
For the biking enthusiast, the Heritage bike trail is right around the corner. From here you can bike less than four miles to downtown Marquette for a meal or a beer at one of Marquette's many craft breweries. You can bring your own bike or use one of the cruisers that we provide.
You can also fish from the shores for Pike or head out on the river in the kayaks provided where anglers report catches of Coho salmon and Lake trout. There are many bird species to be observed in the area including nesting bald eagles that fish the lake, migratory birds and an occasional Great horned owl. The land across the river is part of the Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve a sanctuary with hiking trails and prohibited development.
Upon entering this home from the covered front porch, you'll love the outstanding views of the river. The living room with its large windows, warm wood floors and fireplace will draw you in. The kitchen is spacious and welcoming with cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, heated floors, and a large island. The upper level master suite offers large windows overlooking the water, a walk in closet, full bath with tiled tub/shower enclosure and granite counter tops. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with a spacious bathroom complete with tiled floor and shower. The downstairs bedroom can also be used as a play room or second living room.

Stayed with a group during the Noque ski weekend. We loved it, especially the hot tub! Kitchen was extremely well stocked. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Drive to UNM/downtown Marquette took less than 10 minutes. We are already planning a repeat stay for next year!

I’m so glad you loved it! And you had bitter cold temps! I really look forward to hosting you again!!
Great space, plenty of room for all of us to fit. And when my aunt locked the wrong part of the door, essentially locking us out, they were quick to come and unlock the door for us. Will definitely consider staying here again the next time we’re in the area

Thank you for your review and glad we were able to help with the door! I really hope you can stay here again sometime!
Valerie responded quickly to a couple of questions we had. This is probably the best-stocked Vrbo home we’ve stayed at - plenty of towels, washcloths, kitchen tools, pantry spices, etc!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m glad I could respond quickly to your questions and that you enjoyed how well-stocked the home is. I try to provide everything a guest needs for a comfortable stay. We truly appreciate you choosing our place and would love to host you again in the future.
Perfect place for our needs. Beautiful view from the deck/living room!! I only gave a low score for communication to host because we didn't need anything!!

Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m glad the home was a perfect fit for your needs and that you enjoyed the views. I also appreciate your note on communication and try to be very responsive whenever there is a need for it. I’m glad everything went smoothly during your stay and would love to host you again!
This home & property was the perfect place to stay while visiting Marquette. If you’re on the fence about booking don’t hesitate because it’s worth it.
We stayed here as a family with young children as well as many friends and this house had everything we needed and more! We loved that the backyard was spacious and fenced in. The location was top notch, close to downtown Marquette which has so many fun shops and cool breweries. It’s also a quick hour drive to pictured rocks which was totally worth it! Overall, a great location, a cozy home to come back to and an awesome backyard to enjoy with lots of fun things at every corner. We definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back next year!
