The Summer Home - 2 bedroom home central to downtown and NMU. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at The Summer Home!

This home is ready to welcome you with its light breezy colors, mid century modern charm, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and relaxing vibe. The home is centrally located near NMU, the shops and restaurants on Third Street, downtown Marquette, and Lake Superior.

Walking into the home you are greeted by the dining area that opens to the kitchen ahead and the living room to your right. The kitchen is well appointed and freshly painted with a 1940’s feel. The living room is furnished with comfortable, mid century modern furniture, a smart TV with Hulu and a turntable with vintage albums.

The upstairs includes a bathroom and two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed with quality linens. The guest room consists of a trundle bed with two comfortable twin beds. Both bedrooms have been freshly painted and the wood floors of honey colored fir have been freshly refinished.

The home is pet-friendly and allows up to two dogs for an additional $95 per dog. The backyard is fenced in and convenient for your dog. Please be sure to include "pets" with the number of people staying. Pets are people too! :) Because the VRBO billing system only accounts for one dog, please let us know if you will be bringing two dogs and we will add the additional charge to your reservation.

This home is centrally located on Marquette’s west side in a quiet neighborhood, approximately four blocks to the Third Street restaurants, brew pubs, coffee houses, and shops, approximately four blocks to Northern Michigan University, approximately eight blocks to the Washington Street downtown, and approximately eight blocks to the beach.

This home shares the property with a carriage house, which means there's another house in the back. The carriage house dates back to the days when a relative would live in the back house, also known as a "grandma house" or "mother-in-law house". The other home is also a vacation home (VRBO #2740656). The driveway is shared with the carriage house but your home has its own allotted parking space and has its own private fenced in backyard.

The backyard has a grill with charcoal, lighter fluid, fire starter and cooking utensils as well as a fire pit with firewood for enjoying a relaxing evening with friends and family.

Thanks for considering this summer home! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to hosting you!

Nice place/Great location
I give this a five star. Everything was clean and a cute place to stay. If you are older or have small children the stairs to the bedrooms and bathroom were a bit scary. Still have to give it five stars for location and cleanliness. The record player was a cute touch.

This is the second time we stayed here and it is still just as nice. The house is very clean, nicely decorated, well equipped, and the fenced back yard makes it special. Walking distance to Stuckos and 3rd Street makes it just that much nicer.

Home away from home
You’ll feel right at home as soon as you step through the front door! This house has everything you need to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Great location to go out and explore but with the cozy house, big front porch, and fenced in backyard, it’ll be hard to leave. This summer home made it easy to travel with dogs and young kids. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to stay again soon!

Great home base for a UP trip
This cute house within walking distance of the lovely downtown Marquette was a great place to stay. It's cozy and comfortable and we had no issues. It's got a fun retro style and plenty of space. The hosts we friendly and had plenty of recommendations. Everything was easy and straight forward with. They even left us a cute welcome basket. The hosts were excellent. Marquette was a good place to stay that was a quick drive to lots of popular UP stops. Note for future guests: If you're over 6ft tall, you're going to have to duck in the shower. The private yard didn't feel quite private. While it is fenced in and great to have for quick pet bathroom breaks, there is a carriage house on the property with tenants and pets. Not a big deal, but our dog likes to bark so we couldn't leave him out to enjoy the yard with others around.

Excellent rental in a great location!
This is an extremely well decorated and cute place in a neighborhood that is very walkable (and extremely bikeable) to downtown Marquette. The beds were comfortable, the place was very pleasing to the eye, and my family loved it. I would 100% stay there again - Marquette was gorgeous and we really enjoyed ourselves. Hosts were great - very responsive and hospitable. Highly recommended!

Lovely home base for Marquette!
My husband and I stayed here for eight nights and we were very pleased with it! The house is cozy and well-equipped (very much appreciated the French press in the kitchen!) and comes with a detailed guide to the property and the area. The street is beautiful and quiet, but still an easy walk or drive to the downtown core. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with. We'd happily stay here again next time we're in town!

Fun and funky above age 7
Overall this place was a great location and the decor was so cute. The quality of books and records were great, if I didn't have young kids this would have been such a fun place to read and zen out. I do however wish it was a bit more family friendly for younger kids. The stairs were ultra steep and not really safe for little ones (we had to buy a couple of baby gates and door latches). So I would advise guests to bring their own baby proof stuff. Also the house is an older one so it is a bit unlevel, the ventilation is in the floor but you can. See straight through the next floor. Not super awesome for quiet and the bathroom you can see up through the kitchen. Not a deal breaker for a family, but did not like that the vents weren't screwed down so I got a little worried that my toddler was going to lift it off and fall through the ceiling.

We had a great stay!!! Everything in the house was exactly as described and every amenity was provided. Great location! We walked to our daughters graduation at NMU, we walked to restaurants, we walked to get ice-cream and we walked every evening to McCartys for a beach walk. We loved everything about it!

I returned!
I had another lastminute trip and stayed here again. I appreciated the welcome basket and there was a bone for my dog! I love the record player; I was able to enjoy it this time. It was consistent with the property manager sending me a message ahead of time welcoming me the space, and the cleanliness. You can't go wrong with the price either. It's got everything you need for your stay.

A quick stop in MI.
The owners contacted me a few days prior to the visit with details on the space. It was my dog and me, and it was a perfect size, including enough space for me to do yoga in the living room. I love small details so the little welcome cookies were a wonderful thought. I appreciated the extra towels they have as well. Great space, and I recommend staying here!

Great place so close to so many things
this is a great place to stay if you want to be close to campus and close to the many shops the main street. Everything worked out well and best of all there was air conditioning as it is 80 degrees while we were there. We all enjoyed the firepit and the fenced in back yard. Beds were also super comfortable.
