We had an awesome stay at Blue Harbor View. The home was beautiful, had EVERYTHING you might need, and the views were stunning.Susan, our host, was so welcoming and helpful. Very responsive as well. Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful home
Outstanding accommodations! Great views, wonderful location, super clean and awesome communication with property owner. Close to downtown and walkable to local bars/restaurants. Would definitely stay here again and will be recommending this home to my traveling friends.
The host was in good communication. The house was beautiful & clean. The kitchen was equipped well. It was a wonderful place to stay. I enjoyed the soaking tub & warm bathroom floor! I hoped to see a sunrise, alas, winter weather preferred to brew a storm. I highly recommend this host & this location!
The house was very well decorated and clean and in a wonderful location to all downtown Marquette establishments. The view of Lake Superior and the Ore Dock were lovely. We had the chance to meet the owner of the house and she was delightful. We will definitely stay here again!
My family and I spent three days and nights in the Marquette area, this place was perfect for the 4 of us. Wonderful home with everything you need and beautifully maintained. The location is wonderful and we had just an amazing time here.
Was a great trip. Good location and the place was ideal for two couples that are willing to share the one large bathroom. The home was stocked with all the essentials, including good coffee, beach towels, etc., which made our stay very convenient. Susan was very responsive before and during the stay.
Wow! Pristine residence with beautiful views, great location, and it has everything you'd need. I never use a rental's tub, but this place was so well kept I used the soaker tub four times! This home is even better in person than the pictures show. We will definitely be back! Host was wonderful to work with!
Absolutely loved everything about this property & stay! The decor is so cute and artsy, very clean, and close to everything within walking distance. Would definitely stay again! Thank you so much!
An absolutely wonderful house! House decor and design elements are beautiful while still creating an extremely welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Location is excellent as well, walking distance from shops and restaurants and you can watch the sun come up over Lake Superior from the front porch. Will absolutely be keeping this house on the list for a return visit in the future!!
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.
In the area for some hiking. This home was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and so close to restaurants and shopping. It offered everything we needed. Will definitely return!
We absolutely loved the house and the location during our stay this week. We were incredibly comfortable in this well-appointed home.We will definitely stay here again.The host was very communicative and helpful, too!
This home and the location exceeded our expectations! The house was clean and beautifully decorated and the outside living areas were just as spectacular. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay again!
My daughter, granddaughter and I loved this house! It is spotlessly clean, with a well appointed kitchen. The decor is colorful and charming and the location is great! Highly recommend!
A beautiful, comfortable, modern home in a great location. Definitely one of the best places that we have stayed in Marquette since we have been visiting over the last 10 years.

Thank you for your kind words, Todd. It was a pleasure to host your family.
This place was simply gorgeous. Very clean and we wanted for nothing. Susan is completely thoughtful about stocking the house for anything her guests may need. We want to stay again next year.
Our stay exceeded every expectation we had. The property was 110% as bright and sunny and cozy as the pictures suggested; even on a snowy February weekend. The property was incredibly clean and well appointed. Loved our time at Blue Harbor View!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming and super clean home. We loved the abundance of natural light and the lake view! The owner is easy to work with and provides excellent hospitality. I highly recommend this property!

About the host
Hosted by Susan Liimatta
Hi there! My name is Susan and I’m a fourth generation Yooper. My great-grandparents emigrated from Finland to the Keweenaw Peninsula in the 1890s. I’ve lived in many other places but the UP has always been home. I finally returned in 2018. My background in tourism and event planning led to my becoming a full-time vacation rental host with a desire to provide a 'home-base' to my guests since 2019. I love sharing my historic home with visitors to Marquette and the Upper Peninsula as a place for you to create your own UP memories. As a traveler, I have visited the exotic sea level Marshall Islands in the Pacific to Mt. Everest Base Camp One at 17,000 feet in Tibet. And, many many places in between. Hope to see you in the UP!

Outside spaces include two covered porches and an open-air backyard patio with a fire pit. The sunrise and lake and harbor views are spectacular year-round. We love the walkable city location with easy access to bike trails, breweries, restaurants, downtown shopping, and Marquette's many festivals and events.
What makes this property unique
The bungalow overlooks Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake. It is located in South Marquette and is walkable to the downtown district and nearby city trails.
