About this property

Lake Superior Beachfront Retreat

This beautiful and charming home has just been lovingly refurbished by me this summer, 2016 – so everything is new and welcoming. There is plenty of room for up to 8 guests, including a master bedroom on the main floor and 3 bedrooms on the second floor.

The Space and the Place
This house is located on the ONLY private beach in the city of Marquette with phenomenal views of Lake Superior and Presque Isle Park. This home has private beach access; and huge windows that showcase the Lake Superior vistas. Step down a few steps to the sands of Lake Superior. Long walks, jogs, paddle boarding, swimming, kayaking, surfing, rock hunting, castle building and more are all at your door.

Even better, we’re conveniently located to everything that there is to see and do in the ‘Capital City’ of the Upper Peninsula - Marquette, Michigan. In the summer, there’s world-class mountain biking, hiking, boating and “sweet water” paddling on Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world. In the winter, multiple feet of snowfall make for great Nordic and Alpine skiing. In town, there’s a vibrant foodie scene with elegant restaurants, gastro pubs, coffee roasters and microbreweries.

Inside the House
Nearly the entire front of this lovely beachfront house is glass. Open the doors and let the Lake Superior breezes and waves become part of your vacation. Listen to the surf at night as you cozy up in comfort.
The living area has a fireplace, flat-screen TV and comfy new furniture. Gather the family ‘round in the evenings for movies, board games or to share your day’s collection of memories.
New appliances add ease and functionality to an already charming, bright and updated kitchen. There is a master bedroom with a king bed on the first floor; and a full bathroom on the main floor features a vanity sink and (shower/tub). Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a second full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen size bed featuring a comfy oversized chair ; the other 2 ‘bunk rooms’ have twin tops and full bottoms. All the bedrooms are furnished with lamps featuring USB charger ports. This is the perfect venue for either a professional or a family getaway.


This house was renovated in the fall of 2016, including all new furniture, mattresses, pillows, liens, cellular blinds, appliances, light fixtures & new paint. You will find an open kitchen fully furnished to meet all your cooking & dining needs. The living room offers amazing views of Lake Superior with access to the deck featuring a double grill with a walkway to the private beach in your backyard.

Pure Convenience
We had friends and family use this rental for a wedding. It was close to restaurants and the wedding venue which made it convenient for festivities leading up to the wedding and the wedding day. Overall, the rental was nice, but I can't say that is was clean to my family's standards. Seems like it could use an end of season deep clean. Baseboards, windowsills, windows, walls in traffic areas, light fixtures were not clean. Lastly, we thought the pictures above the king bed were cool, but way to low to bed as they kept falling off at night. Would recommend if you are looking for a summer place to stay with a large group.

Home away from home.
Check in and out was super easy. Their was no problem getting in contact with the host The house was clean and comfortable. It was like a home away from home. I definitely will be staying there when i come back to Marquette. Plus, it is close to downtown Marquette and the views of Lake Superior are incredible.

Tranquil beach cottage
This property is just as we hoped. Couldn’t ask for a better backdrop to visit Marquette with a private beach, ample living space and picture windows. Close to town but private, too. We fully enjoyed our stay here.

This location is very special to me because I born & raised on this very same beach, my great-grandfather was the very last ‘Keeper’ of the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse.
