You'll begin creating memories you'll want for a lifetime in this 4 level oasis, spacious enough to mingle with your friends and family, or disappear from them as needed 😉. This country chic 5 bedroom ranch-style farmhouse sleeps 12. 1 king size bed, 2 queen beds, 1 full size bed, 2 twin beds, 1 pull out sofa bed (in the living room), and 1 full size quite comfy futon. All mattresses are newly replaced in the past 2 years. There are 2 spacious bathrooms, along with a sauna that has a full shower area and it's own changing room. The bathroom upstairs encumbers a closet fully stocked with an abundance of shower supplies for your use in the full bathtub / shower combo. The downstairs bathroom draws waves with it's vintage nautical themed charm, a stand-up shower and plenty of shower essentials for all of your needs. The sauna is custom built right off of the attached garage. It has a changing room attached, with a full shower and lower bucket faucet. Quite the serene place to meditate! There is a beauty salon (pre-booking available with a professional hairdresser for large groups) which is equipped with a hair washing salon sink, plenty of hair styling tools including a hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, blowout styling brush and more! In this same room you will find the brand new washer & dryer, available to use at your convenience (along with supplied detergents & dryer sheets). The dining room table seats 6 and the kitchen table seats 4. All of the rooms are very soundproof which is another bonus for people in separate areas of the house doing completely different activities.

The Kitchen is stocked with more than you can usually desire from a rental home. We have filled the ranch with everything you may need for your daily desires to cook or bake the majority of dishes and deserts. The items include all of the general essentials in any well-utilized kitchen. This includes all of the expected pots and pans for the oven top, as well as a regular pizza pan, stoneware pizza pan, and much more. Some of the more classic staples include: a large stock pot, electric casserole pan, crock pots, glass casserole dishes, stoneware dishes, and more. For baking you have your choice of muffin tins, cupcake tins, cookie sheets, cookie cutters, cake pans, loaf pans, mixing bowls and so much more. There really is just too much to list.

In order to use all of these items - you'll need ingredients, so we cover the basics. We fully stock about 20 or so spices & herbs, sugar, flour, salt & pepper, even peanut oil. You will also find clingwrap, aluminum foil, wax paper, and more.

The ranch also has the expected glass dishes, plastic dishes for outdoor/children's use, all eating and cooking utensils, a tea kettle, a regular coffee pot, a Kuerig, coffee, water filtering pitchers, dish soap, paper towel, a cheese board, and more.

In the restrooms we provide all linens such as: bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. There's also hand soap, a hair dryer, body wash, hair towels, shower caps, cotton balls, cotton pads, Q-tips and an abundance of toilet paper. We truly want you to have the best experience possible at the ranch, as memories usually aren't made making store runs.

Basic amenities include: fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kuerig, toasters, washer and dryer, etc.

Moving outdoors, on the .73 acres you will have plenty of room in the front and back and front yards to let the kids and dogs run freely! It is a great yard, perfect for socializing and soaking up the sun pretty privately, as there is one neighboring business, and plenty for trees. For entertainment, the back patio includes a classic circular charcoal grill, as well as a propane tailgate style grill with multiple grate options. Later on, you can kick back, grab a drink, a pal, and a seat around the in-ground fire pit. This firepit is stocked with wood, ready to create those warm summertime memories with S'mores and Brats around the crackles of a beautiful fire.

Back inside, in the game room you will find a pool table and numerous other games. You will find an 86" flatscreen TV in the living room, a 65" TV in the pool room, a 50" TV in the gym, a 38" TV in the blue Bedroom, and a 48" TV in the master bedroom. In the heated garage (connected to the game room) you will find a foosball table, a ping pong table, and a dry bar with a mini TV, and a mini fridge/freezer.

The parking area is large and can easily accommodate multiple vehicles as well as a number of trailers and RV's, all at once. It is easy to find, located right off of US HWY 41, in a beautiful country setting. It's a 13-minute drive to the heart of Marquette, a 40-minute drive to Munising, and one hour drive to Escanaba.

We do our best to accommodate all of the items in this home for your comfort and pleasure, however from time to time - items are broken. We appreciate knowing when they are, so we have time to replace them for the next guest's arrival. Please respect this leniency. Also, we cannot promise that each and every item listed will be available for each and every stay, but we can promise that we have and will continue to always do everything we can to keep up with replacements and the changes needed to accommodate your stay to the closest representation humanly possible. Lastly, please note this is a very large (2200 square ft) ranch-style home, in the country, and thus it is more shabby-chic/vintage-modern/farmhouse than it is Taj Mahal! Please book according to your preference.

There are plenty of ATV and snowmobile trails nearby. There are also plenty of waterfalls nearby to which easily make a full day of simply touring the plentiful amount of nearby waterfalls. It truly is a country vacation getaway! So come on over, drop your bags and relax at the Hill Crest Ranch!

What a fantastic property and was as exactly as advertised, with plenty of room for all of us. The location was close enough to Marquette. I found it Peaceful and quiet with plenty of on-site activities for everyone such as the pool table (which got the most use), ping pong, outdoor grill, sauna, and fire pit. The kitchen has all of the supplies and made our stay very pleasant. The house was very well kept and clean. Everything we needed was provided. If you're ever heading to the Marquette area, this is a must stay!

Perfect House for Our Family!

We had a wedding in the area and this property was perfect for our stay. We spent a lot of time in the backyard playing outdoor games. Plenty of bedrooms and space for indoor activities. We utilized the indoor game rooms. We did blow a fuse while prepping for the wedding and the owners were very responsive in taking care of the issue. We have our own VRBO location in SW Michigan and we highly recommend this home in the U.P.

The house was a nice size for our group. The owner was accommodating as he allowed us to check in early and made sure we had bonfire wood. Because it was so wet we weren't able to have a bonfire. All the game tables were undeveloped but the kids had fun anyway. The place is in need of TLC ( fresh paint, rickety chairs) but it was ok

Great spot for that Greywalls golf getaway

Overall, this property has everything you need for a large group to have a comfortable stay. I brought up a group of 8 guys ranging in age of 42-74. All of us were able to have our own bed and we slept very comfortable. The living space in the home was awesome. We tended to be in the bar area playing pool or the kitchen area playing poker. All of the guys agreed that this was a nice find for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone with a larger group coming to the area. Greywalls is a beast by the way.

Blended Family Vacation

Great location with a short drive to downtown Marquette, hikes and breweries. Our adult family with a dog had plenty of room with everyone having their own bedroom. The guys played pool while I prepared food in the large kitchen that was fully stocked with extra pantry items in case anyone forgets the basic spices ,etc. The large fridge/freezer fit all our food. We cooked our dinners on the webber grill and enjoyed the campfires in the evening. The stack of wood waiting for us was a nice touch.

Perfect place

When I first booked this property last year, 12 of us were going to stay and I was a bit nervous that there would be enough room. Well there was more then enough room even though only 8 of us were able to stay. The house is very roomy, had more then enough linens & towels and the kitchen was nicely equipped. My grandchildren, four of them ranging from age 6 1/2 (its important to her that I say half) to 16 years old were never bored when there were so many things to do in the game room. Marquette was a perfect location for us to see many of the UP landmarks. Our thanks to Kurt for the fantastic place to use for this years amazing vacation.
