The Summer Cottage - 1 bedroom home central to downtown and NMU. Bring the dog!

Thanks for looking at The Summer Cottage!

This cozy home is ready to welcome you with its Scandinavian feel, light airy colors and simple charm. The home is centrally located near Northern Michigan University, Lake Superior, and the shops, restaurants, coffee houses and microbreweries on Third Street and downtown Marquette.

Walking into the home you are greeted by the light airy living room with the kitchen to your left and the bed room to your right. The kitchen is well appointed and brightly painted with a secluded patio off the side door. Included in the kitchen is a modern stackable washer & dryer. The living room has freshly painted walls and wood floors and is furnished with comfortable, mid-century modern furniture, a smart TV with Netflix and a turntable with vintage albums.

The bedroom has a comfortable king-sized bed with quality linens. The bathroom features plenty of towels and a floor to ceiling tiled shower.

The outdoor area includes a secluded patio off the kitchen with a seating area, grill, charcoal and grilling utensils. Also included is a patio area with seating, a fire pit and firewood to enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire.

The home is pet-friendly and can accommodate one dog for an additional $95.00 and we will consider an additional dog for an additional $95.00. The yard is not fenced in, so if you plan to bring your pup, please plan accordingly. When entering the number of people staying, please be sure to include "pets". Pets are people too! :)

This home is centrally located on Marquette’s west side in a quiet neighborhood. Everything you need is within walkable distance without the worry of busy highways. The Third Street restaurants, brew pubs, coffee houses, and shops are approximately four blocks to the east. Northern Michigan University is approximately four blocks to the north, the Washington Street downtown is approximately eight blocks to the south and the beach is approximately eight blocks to the east.

This home is a carriage house, which means it shares the property with another house. 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 house is also a vacation home that sleeps four people and is also listed on VRBO (2330068). The driveway is shared with the front home but your home has its own allotted parking space and outdoor spaces.

Thanks for considering The Summer Cottage! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to hosting you!

Wonderful little place to stay
This cottage was so adorable and CLEAN!!! The bed was comfortable. The hosts were wonderful at communication. Good location for us as it was 5 minutes from our sons home and very close to downtown to shops and restaurants. We were going to bring our dog but a friend watched him instead and host refunded the charge for a dog immediately. Loved having a fire pit to enjoy in the evening. Very happy and will be back again.

Marquette Marathon Getaway
We stayed here for my husband to run the Marquette marathon. It is a lovely one bedroom house with a spacious sitting room, good sized kitchen, and nice bathroom. We loved having a private, cozy place for us and our dog. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C unit made it the perfect temp at night. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful extended stay at this cozy cottage. Everything was perfect for me and my husband and our dog. The location is excellent, you can walk/bike to everything. And it's super quiet! We were working remotely and the internet was superb. The bed is also super comfy! I highly recommend this adorable little house, and hope to make it back!

Beautiful Marquette Stay To Explore Pictured Rocks
My partner and I loved staying at this wonderful cottage with our small dog. She enjoyed the quiet place away from the city. The property is a couple minute drive right from downtown, a wonderful walking area along the lake. Grab a glass of wine and get dinner. Go for coffee and bagels in the morning on your way out. The hosts were so kind to leave a welcome treat for us and our dog. We utilized the kitchen supplies and the fire making supplies outside to enjoy a fire the last night. Many stars are viable if you turn off all cottage lights! The drive to Pictured Rocks was simple and stunning along the lake. Definitely the right choice if you haven't found the right place near Munising. Staying in Marquette and getting to enjoy both the town and the rocks was the perfect balance. We also explored Black Rocks on our last day out and were able to cliff jump! We highly recommend this stay and can't wait to come back!

Delightful Summer Cottage
The summer cottage was perfect for our week-long stay in Marquette, MI. It has all the amenities that you would need and the location is great. You can easily walk or bike to the beach, brewpubs, restaurants, and shopping. The place was very clean, the decor is retro charming, and the bed is comfy. A really nice place to come back to and relax after a day filled with outdoor activities. We will return! :)

Long weekend getaway
My partner and I had a great time at this vrbo. It was close to the downtown where we could walk to Stucko’s, Blackrocks Brewery and Ore Dock Brewery. We had clear communication with the owner and if we didn’t have to get back to work on Tuesday we would have loved to stay longer. Thank you for the great stay!
