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.

Family vacation
Loved our stay here with our 4 adult kids. House was well appointed and in a great location. Felt secluded on the river while being just a short drive to downtown Marquette. We enjoyed the kayaks and walking/bike trail right at the house. Marquette was fun to explore with cute shops and restaurants along with hiking and swimming. We also did a day trip to Pictured Rocks from here, just 45 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again!

Our second stay
We stayed here in fall of 2022 for a visit with our NMU student. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy family time with distant college students. The kitchen is one of the best stocked of all the places we’ve stayed, making it easy to do home cooked meals. House is quiet and the view of the water from everywhere in the house makes for a great way to start and end the day. Access to the Iron Ore Heritage Trail is great for walking and biking. Loved it!

Mountain Bike Getaway
Couldn’t have asked for a better host and property! Reasonably close to mountain bike trails and downtown. Plenty of room for us to spread out. We had a couple of questions when we arrived that were answered very timely. We would rent this one again in a heartbeat!!

This is our 2nd stay here and the addition of the fence in the backyard was great. The house is great for families with something for everyone (playhouse, hot tub, firepit). We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Like visiting a close friends house
The property was exactly as described in the listing. The accommodations were outstanding. My 9 year old had her first kayaking experience here with the kid kayak they had provided, and what a memory! Loved that the little river comes right out to the Lake and sugar sand beach. My little one loved time in the hot tub with dad. So many close shops and restaurants nearby while having the quiet retreat of this neighborhood, and the serenity of the woods and bayou in the back. Would absolutely come back.

Family Trip to Marquette
The stay was amazing. We had everything we needed and had a great time as a family. The property was even closer to downtown Marquette than I thought which made access to it along with lots of trails and beaches super easy. We enjoyed Harborfest, strongly recommend the Marquette Farmer's market, had an amazing kitchen to cook in, and this property was perfect if travelling with an infant. We had our 11 month old daughter with us and the crib room was perfect for her. It got dark enough even for naps during the day which is crucial as parents know. Highly recommend the property, I can't say enough good things about it.

Wonderful and Relaxing
Great location and many amenities. We enjoyed walking down the block to dinner at Lake Superior Brewhouse, taking the kayaks out, and really enjoyed the proximity of the Iron Ore Trail/bike path. Perfect family spot to relax (accept that our kids now want a pirate ship playground in our own backyard 😀)

Graduation
We came for our son’s NMU graduation. We had plenty of room for our family and grandparents. There were 8 of us and we were very comfortable. We found the path to the lake and took several beautiful long walks along the beach. The kitchen was well stocked- we did quite a bit of cooking and sitting outside was beautiful!

Great family getaway
This was the absolute perfect place for our family getaway. It was 5 adults and two children (5&2). The kids had so many toys and books to choose from. The playset was also a big hit. The kitchen was fully stocked and overall was very clean. Could not ask for more.
