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. The bathroom upstairs encumbers a full closet for everyone's products, a full bathtub / shower combo, recessed lighting and above sink vanity lights. The downstairs bathroom draws waves with its nautical theme, vintage charm, stand-up shower and extra shelving for storing your essentials. The sauna is custom built right off of the attached garage. It has a changing room attached, with a shower and lower bucket faucet all inside of it. Quite a great place to meditate! Kitchen appliances are stainless steel. There is a beauty salon area (pre-booking available with a professional hairdresser for large groups). Thereis a beauty salon, equipped with a hair washing sink, and brand new hair styling tools for your use. These include 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). Please note that the home has hard water, so improper laundering techniques may hinder your results. The dining room table seats 6 and the kitchen table seats 4. All of the rooms are also very soundproof which is another bonus for people in separate areas of the house doing completely different activities.
We do our best to make sure the house is filled with everything you may need for your daily living, including all general cookware (i.e. pots, pans, spatulas, dishes, utensils), Crock-Pot, regular coffee pot, a Kuerig, tea kettle, baking sheets, muffin pans, spices, dish soap, paper towel, et cetera. Please note that we cannot always guarantee these items, so please ask ahead if you will need a specific item. In the restrooms we provide all linens such as: bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, toilet paper, hand soap, a hair dryer, and then some. In case you forget yours - we also strive to consistently stock body wash, hair towels, shower caps, cotton balls, cotton pads, and even Q-tips. 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 (up to) 3 dogs run freely! It is a great yard, perfect for socializing and soaking up the sun, usually very privately as there are is only on le neighboring business property! In the backyard, you will find a classic circular charcoal grill, as well as a propane tailgate style grill with multiple grate options. Enjoy all that grilling right on the back patio at the table for 8, all while soaking up the sun, or blocking it with the table's umbrella. 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 nice enjoyable fire.
Back inside, in the game room you will find a pool table and numerous other games. You will find a 65" flatscreen TV in the living room, 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.
The parking area is large and can easily accommodate large vehicles as well as a number of trailers and RV's. It is easy to find, located right off of US HWY 41 in a beautiful country setting. It's a 15-minute drive to Marquette, a 40-minute drive to Munising and one hour 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, which would likely not be so accessible if the ranch was not located on a main highway. There are also plenty of waterfalls nearby to which easily make a full day of simply touring the plentiful amouny of nearby waterfalls. It truly is a country vacation getaway! So come on over, drop your bags and relax at the Hill Crest Ranch!
