About this property

Year-round hot tub, 2600 sq ft house with ample parking - Northstar Lodge

Welcome to Northstar Lodge! Nestled in picturesque Crane Valley at the base of Green Garden Hill, this hidden gem is set on a 6-acre property enveloped by pristine wilderness, yet only 9 miles from downtown Marquette. The original portion is a charming Montgomery Ward-style farmhouse built in 1930, at the time surrounded by a working farm. The great room and lodge hall were added later, and served as an antique store, an auction house, and a church at various points in this home’s history.

Guests will enjoy the house’s four comfortable bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, butler’s pantry with coffee nook, two spacious dining areas with seating for a total of 14, the inviting great room, a sitting room, and a parlor. Unique Birdseye maple flooring, antique furnishings, and modern comforts blend to create a warm (or in summer thanks to the central air conditioning - cool!) and welcoming atmosphere. With access to 2,600 square feet of living area, the home provides all the space needed to relax and make lasting memories.

Outdoor amenities include a huge yard which is perfect for lawn games, fire pit with seating for 10, and year-round hot tub.

Visitors are welcome to explore the property’s informal hiking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing trails. The property also provides access to Marquette's exhilarating snowmobile trail network: three miles of convenient highway right-of-way connects trails to our doorstep, making this a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. Our nearly unlimited parking offers ample space for multiple snowmobile trailers and RVs, giving you the opportunity to bring along all your toys without worrying about storage space. When it’s time to head out for dinner, shopping, sightseeing, or just to pick up supplies, a ten-minute drive along Highway 41 will take you to the beautiful city of Marquette, making it effortless to enjoy the city’s attractions and amenities.

Unwind and make your next getaway a memorable one at this unique and historic home – a place where adventure and comfort converge to create an unforgettable experience. Our goal is to provide everything you need for a truly remarkable vacation, and we can't wait to host you!

The lodge hall is expected to be complete in Summer 2026, adding 1600 square feet of living space! Please feel free to enquire about this addition and what it may provide for your group.

More than 8 overnight guests or 25 total guests may be allowed on a case-by-case basis; please contact us if you wish to exceed these numbers.

Close enough to get to Marquette for shopping and dining but still far enough out for room to run for a dog and to enjoy outdoor campfires and the hot tub. There is great outdoor seating for relaxing and conversations outdoors. Crispy white bed linens, lots of towels. Clean. Well equipped. We really enjoyed our time at this house.

What a comfortable place to stay! We all enjoyed this home. I’ve never stayed in a rental with such a well stocked kitchen. Amy definitely goes above and beyond to make sure you have the comforts of home. I’d definitely stay here again. The home is very clean and the property is gorgeous. It’s also a short drive to town.

The house was plenty big enough for our family. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit as well as the provided firewood! The location was perfect for us to be able head into Marquette and enjoy some local breweries and food, but also provided us a good starting point to head out into the woods and hike!

Great Trip

This was a great find for our short trip to the Marquette area. A perfect launching spot for Presque Isle fun like Black Rocks cliff jumping and sunsets all the way over to kayaking at Pictured Rocks. Spacious, clean, with all the amenities of home. Hot tub, lots of games, cool fire pit with smores included, and great coffee bar. Amy was super responsive with our questions. Would definitely recommend North Star!

Perfect Large Family Accommodations

This home provided ample space for large family accommodations with the four Queen bedrooms and large gathering areas.The hot tub and fire pit was a hit for the adults and the small children loved the outdoors for exploring and running. Note that the home, at this point, is not conducive to anyone with mobility issues. The home is well stocked and clean

Beautiful Family Home

This was the perfect home for a weekend getaway for my family and me. We are from Illinois and drove up to watch my son's Spring football game at NMU. It was 12 minutes from the Dome and 10 minutes away from all restaurants and stores. The kids loved that they each had their own rooms. At night we enjoyed smores by the bonfire and relaxed our muscles in the hot tub. In the morning, we sat on the front porch and watched the deer in the yard. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Overall, we loved the house and definitely want to book again this fall for some more at home feels and football. Go Cats!!!

A great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our time here. The location is close to NMU so we got to spend quality time with our oldest who goes to school there. Even with heavy snow and cold temps, the driveway was plowed daily and the hot tub was impeccable!It's such a lovely area of Michigan. We highly recommend!

Great home with lots of character! Plenty of space for family to gather. The kitchen had nice pots, pans and utensils. The hot tub is big and clean! So magical sitting out in the hot tub when the snow is falling. My recommendations would be to add a railing on the outside steps, more washcloths and kitchen towels.

Great place for weekend getaway

We couldn't have enjoyed our stay at the Northstar Lodge more! Very clean, cozy, and charming. Perfect central location to visit our family at NMU and explore all that the area has to offer. We loved the private large yard. Communication with Amy was prompt and seamless. She provided perfect instructions - no complaints! We would definitely stay here again!

I cant say enough about how warm, cozy, spacious, and welcoming this house was! The property was perfect for the pups to romp.

Marji Gesick 200

The place was great. The layout was a bit strange, and definitely had the 1930’s farmhouse with addition, plus another addition, plus additional lodge vibes, but it was part of the adventure. We went up there for the Marji Gesick 200 mile race and had an amazing experience. The board games were a hit with the kids, as well as the outdoor fire pit. Cell service was a bit spotty, but Wi-Fi worked just fine. All in all, worked great for the trip and we’d stay again if we come up for the race again. Looking forward to the hot tub being completed!
