Fantastic UP stay!

Got to stay at this wonderful condo with my family, all in all there were 8 of us. We could not have been in a more perfect location. Had a beautiful view of the ore dock and lake across the street (sunrise and sunset were amazing and perfectly visible right out the huge front windows!!), and were within walking distance of most things we wanted to do in town. The condo itself was awesome, clean, and well equipped with more than we could ever need. The heated floors were a wonderful amenity and the couch was suuuper comfortable.

Visiting my Wildcat

My daughter and I stayed at this downtown condominium for a long weekend. She is a senior at NMU and I have visited her every fall since her freshman year. This is by far the best place we have stayed in. The location is perfect. I could hop right on the trail to run along Lake Superior in the morning and we easily walked all around the downtown area to shops and restaurants. The condo was spacious, very clean and well-stocked. Check in was easy and with convenient parking which isn't always the case when staying in this area. The owner communicated effectively and even reached out to let me know the Northern Lights were going to be active the night I arrived. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic place to stay in Marquette

This condo was perfect for my family's trip to Marquette - spacious and well equipped and stocked. The location was also stellar and convenient and I would most certainly rent again when returning to Marquette! The only minor drawback was that the beautiful large windows pictured in the photos did not all have drapes installed and the unit is on the ground floor on a somewhat busy street so privacy felt lacking, especially at night.

Location! Location! Location!

This property was exceptional! It fit three families with children very comfortably and everyone had their own space. The host was fabulous with communication and stocking requested items (age appropriate toys for child). The location is withing walking distance to everything you'd like to see in Marquette: beaches, dining, craft breweries, shopping and walking trails. We walked to Presque Isle one morning (a bit over 8 miles round trip). While the weather can be unpredictable in Marquette, we had beautiful weather with only two days of rain-which cleared out in the afternoon. Only recommendation is a deep clean. The air vents in the master bathroom need attention and dust/cobwebs in several of the decor pieces. Definitely not a deal breaker. I am sure with the amount of renters, it is challenging to have enough time to attend to things like that with a one day turn over. Would highly recommend this condo! We hope to return next summer.
