Discover Lil' Casa Marquette!

In a neighborhood just off the beaten path, sits Lil' Casa; an inviting and peaceful southwest-style home in beautiful Marquette, Michigan.

Centrally located and minutes from Marquette Mountain, NMU, the hospital, grocery stores, as well as all the biking, boating, and snow activities you could dream of! This is a great location to launch your next seasonal adventure, visit your student at NMU, attend one of Marquette's many community events, or just enjoy a good night's sleep.

Just up the road to the east toward the fit-strip is an awesome view of the surrounding area, Hogsback MT, Sugar Loaf MT, and Lake Superior can be seen in the distance. A short walk through the fit strip and adjacent cemetery (which local legend has it was designed by the same landscaping pioneers as Central Park and the Biltmore Estate gardens) leads you towards the city center.

If you like getting around by foot or bike, you'll love that you are only steps away from the Marquette Bike Path System for easy access to the Presque Isle nature area, downtown Marquette, and the Lower Harbor.

In the back of the house, you will find a deck along with a fenced-in backyard offering a private outdoor space to enjoy your coffee in the morning or relax in the evening after a day out and about. Enjoy a peach or two off of the tree or pick some red raspberries from the abundance of bushes. The back fence is lined with lilac bushes on one side and grape vines on the other (the grapes are ripe and ready to pick in October). There are many flowering plants and bushes throughout the outside space including irises and Lilly of the Valley.
Experiences local flare with a visit to the farmer's market (Saturday & Wednesday evenings), Beer Fest, Artofnh the Rocks, dog sled races, and other community festivals and shenanigans.

This property features:

52-minute drive from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Great Little Place!
I stayed for 17 days to visit my NMU student. I found it to be a very convenient location to the Dome, campus, dining, trails, and I brought my dog along and he enjoyed the fenced-in backyard. The house was clean and had everything you need for an extended stay. I plan to stay again and highly recommend!!!

Clean and well stocked inside. Easy trip into downtown Marquette, but far enough away to not have crowds at the house. Neighbors very quiet. Good stay, would rent again

Marquette
We was looking forward to the hot tub that was included in the listing when we booked it. Really disappointed when we got there and there was no hot tub. Little honesty would have been great. Overall nice location and the inside was very clean. Outside needs a lot of work including the front porch entrance. Will book it again in the future!!

Clean house in a quiet neighborhood with everything we needed for our stay in Marquette. Only a few feet from the bike path that will take you to downtown (about 2 mile bike ride on a safe bike trail).

Nice, Clean, and Reasonable
We enjoyed our stay here! It was freshly cleaned, had towels and fans available to us (A/C only in the bedroom), and felt homey for our short trip to Marquette. The only thing we wished it had was a washer / dryer, but didn't plan on it when packing so no biggie. Would definitely go back, thanks Lil' Casa!

Great place
This was a great little house to stay in for myself and my 2 dogs. There was a beautiful garden in the back with plenty of outdoor seating. I loved the filtered water in the refrigerator. It took a bit to cool down the house after I arrived since the ac is only in the bedroom, but there is a ceiling fan in the living room as well. It was a great place and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Nice gem of a place
We have stayed at several rentals over the years and all are not created equal. This one is extra special. Its a great location - about 1-2 miles to downtown and lots of restaurants, yet still far enough to be quiet. Would recommend to anyone looking for a 1 bedroom with extra space.

Quick Trip
Loved Lil’ Casa! Perfect place to work & unwind since I needed to briefly visit NMU. Great location for NMU, downtown Marquette and quick access to main roads. I loved sitting in the dining room working and occasionally bird watching the humming birds, orioles and others flitting about the trumpet vine. So peaceful. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Great price and location!
Wonderful little house with nice small touches made our visit easy! Very cute house inside and was larger than expected with an extra bed and a basement area. Living room/dining and kitchen were nicely laid out and kitchen had everything we need. Fenced in yard was nice. Only thing for those with larger dogs, especially if they are jumpers be aware of front area of the fence is shorter than the back and could be jumped. Great for non jumpers or smaller dogs. Neighborhood was very quiet. Nice trail area for walks and close to town. We will definitely be back!

Lil' Casa
It's called Lil' Casa, but the house is very roomy. The yard is very interesting with numerous varieties of plants and trees. Our dogs loved exploring the yard. There's a nice deck in the back to sit out and relax. Quiet neighborhood. There's a hike/bike trail less than half a block away. Marquette is a wonderful place for a get-away!

Just what we needed!
This rental was exactly what we were looking for on our long weekend in Marquette. It’s clean, cozy, and full of lovely details from the chocolates next to the bed to the beautiful backyard fruit trees and flowers. It’s private, but a short drive or bike ride away from everything we wanted to do. The fenced in yard was a big plus for our pup. We all left feeling calm and refreshed. Can’t wait to come back!
