My family got together to celebrate a 70th, 50th, and 23rd birthday. We had 10 adults and 2 little ones. The sprawling layout is nice with mostly first floor bedrooms for people who donât do stairs well. The bedroom and bathroom layouts are pretty strange. All the bathrooms with a shower are connnected and the main one is intended to be a public pool shower, so if itâs not all family or close friends it could feel awkward. We made it work. We had a blast in the pool and hot tub and enjoyed morning saunas. We had a fun party and game night in the dining room and had plenty of space in the kitchen for our buffets. The overall amenities are great. My biggest suggestion is to add hooks all over the house. There was no closet bars or hangers to hang anything up like jackets and purses and especially wet swim suits and pool towels. We found everything we needed in the kitchen for the most part including a keurig, a regular coffee maker, multiple crock pots, and serving bowls and platters. We were happy to have brought a brita pitcher for filling water bottles and making coffee. The appliances are nice and the extra fridge was great for drinks. Itâs a great gathering house and we plan to come back again!
Several of us rented the Marquette Estate. Everything was as listed. It was clean, comfy, well stocked and communication with Jason was amazing. We swam, we cooked, played cards, sat in the hot tub, went to town and shopped (and stopped at the breweries). Overall we would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
Guests were in awe of this Estate Home and referred to it as a Mansion! Owner couldn't have been more helpful and even brought over new swim vests for toddlers! The sunsets took your breath away! There wasn't A/C but don't let that stop you as the home stayed cool in the evenings and there was plenty of fans and two window A/C units we didn't even use. A beautiful place to take pictures inside and out! We had an Arbor we'd brought to set up down by the old barnwood outbuilding a short walk away! What a setting to say "I do"! There was plenty of room for rental tables and chairs on the patio, as we had 25 total in attendance. There was plenty of room inside for a group of 25, but we'd already invested in linens and decor for an outdoor sunset dinner at 7pm. It was a very short drive to downtown Marquette or Munising and so much to see. I feel an annual anniversary repeat perhaps next year! We will stay again! Wish we could attach pictures of the sunset!
Jasonâs home was an eclectic gem off the beaten path in Marquette. Plenty of space for our group of 12, couldâve easily accommodated 12 more with some room to spare. Amenities all worked well - indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, back patio fireplace, grill, etc. - and we took full advantage due to some spotty weather in August. Highly underrated stargazing views too!
Jason was a welcoming host, very communicative, and ensured we had a great stay. Would recommend this property to any large groups making the journey to the UP any time of the year.
This house has great space. Our large group had room to spread out. Kids loved the indoor pool and hot tub. At night we enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking at the stars.
Super convenient to Marquette, short ride to Pictured Rocks, and about 2 hours to Tahquamenon.
We were the first renters and there were a few things that still needed to be done when we arrived. Owners were easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. We would rent this house again!
