Close to NMU

We came to Marquette to stay for a week with the family and brought my parents with us also. The boys are 10, 14, and 18.Overall the things to do in Marquette is amazing. We came for Freshman orientation and stayed a few more days to see the town. We brought our bikes and bikes around and did a lot of hikes. Seen some very beautiful things. The place was slightly disappointing. Not awful but for the amount of money spent I guess I expected a little better. The listing said 5 queen beds. There was only 4 queen beds (the 5th bedroom had a crib) so two of our boys had to share a bed. The listing also said city center on a river. It is definitely not river or beach or any water. There is no back yard. If you’re looking for a place that has some outdoor relaxing this is not it. There was no fire pit to hang out at night you pretty much had to do things in town.

Good place in a great town!

Nice property in a quiet, middle-class subdivision. Comfortable and clean, with extra towels and sheets available. Laundry room was large and outfitted well. Kitchen/dining/living room grouped for great socializing. We would rent again if the situation arises.

Great lodging for the Marquette Marathon

We were in Marquette from Boston for the marathon and to connect with family from Minneapolis. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean with a good kitchen and nice grill. Parking was easy and access to the Superior Dome and downtown Marquette were convenient. Notably, 2 of the bedrooms in this split level are downstairs where the floor was a bit cool, but there were area rugs in each room.

Great Stay!

This was a lovely home, perfect location, and wonderful hosts! While we were there the refrigerator decided to stop working and within just a few hours a brand new one was delivered! You would have thought this was a big deal, but it Ended up being almost a non-issue. So appreciative of how quickly and completely the hosts responded. We would definitely stay here again!

Wedding weekend

We had a friend’s wedding and the location was perfect. We were able to go out to dinner and the bars easily and come home to a lot of space to hangout. Each room had a fan, towels, and extra wedding if needed. Lots of extra towels in the linen closet. They supplied toiletries. They allowed us to check in early since we were traveling from so far away. I would stay there again if needed.

Sled dogs & Ice Caves

The VRBO was perfect for our stay, had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been a little better water pressure from the shower head. This was not something that would prevent me from staying here again. thanks for the great accomodations

Second Time Around- Just as Good as the First

This was the second time I have stayed at this property - and I was equally impressed this time. We had a group of five women who were in Marquette for hiking, skiing, etc. The layout of the home proved perfect for this type of group. The individual bedrooms afforded sufficient space and privacy and the large kitchen and open living area gave us enough space to gather, eat and hang out. I just discovered the bike/hiking trail literally next door to the property and was thrilled! I plan to return!

Great place to stay for our son’s wedding

My son & his fiancé love Marquette and wanted to be married on the shores of Lake Superior. We chose Kelly’s place as our “home base” for the weekend. It was a great location for all of the weekend activities. We appreciated all of the provided amenities from comfortable beds & pillows, to washer, dryer, iron, toiletries, etc. We hope to stay again!

nice house in a scary hood

The house was great. The neighborhood was sketchy. Police were called to the neighbors for a domestic disturbance. This house was rowdy all night long. There was also a house of hoarders around the corner and a terrible smell was coming from that home as they were cleaning it out with a giant dumpster out front.

Well suited for our Family/Work Trip

Two small families stayed as the Dad's had a work conference at NMU. We were able to enjoy hiking Sugarloaf Mtn. together and dining downtown, just a short drive. The Girls/Kids enjoyed biking to downtown and Presque isle, hitting the park downtown and a beach... and enjoying their first Pasty! The home was clean and inviting, and the storage shed was perfect for our bikes (I trust if was ok we used it)! The extra room/office in the basement was perfect for a pack-and-play for the baby of the group who prefers solitude when sleeping! Needed one thing from the owner, and it was met efficiently. Certainly recommend, a solid place to stay and enjoy what Marquette has to offer.
