Really enjoyed our stay. Location feels remote, but is about 20 minutes from most activities we wanted to do in the Marquette area. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Quiet & comfy - a perfect getaway!

This was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Marquette. Being just a short drive out of town (less than 20 min), it was conveniently close to trails, downtown restaurants, and beaches. The best part is not only that it felt private and secluded but the home is beautiful and the beds are comfy!

Graduation in Marquette

Just far enough out of town to not be in the chaos but close enough to get there when we needed to be. The home was very homey, and easy to come back to for relaxation. Definitely will stay again, hopefully for a longer duration.

Little slice of heaven

What a charming place. Slippery Jim's is warm and welcoming and has everything you could need. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of room. It's quiet and secluded, but not far from downtown Marquette. Lori is a great host and responded quickly anytime I had questions. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Wonderful. quiet, and relaxing

We come to the Upper Peninsula every fall as a family adventure. Our choice of Slippery Jim's Raise eyebrows with the name. However, the rental was as it is described. We loved using it a our base camp as we explore Marquette - north, south, east and west. Waterfalls, trails scenic hikes, shopping downtown Marquette, and enjoying some great food. We found the provider Lori prompt and helpful. For the old folks all of us between 65-76 found it one of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Lori

3 big Cs: Clean, Cute, and Communicative make this rental home stand out. Cute home, decorated nicely. Tons of games and activities for young and old. They even provided wood for the bonfire. Everything was clean and thoughtfully laid out. The 2 non-master bedrooms were small but met our needs. Communication with Lisa was excellent! We brought to her attention an issue that would need to be addressed before the next renters (something out of anyone’s control) and it was resolved first thing the next morning. You are out in the middle of nowhere and there are so many stars! But 15 minutes from Marquette with all the conveniences you might need. Kitchen has Keurig, French press, drip coffee maker and electric kettle. K-cups and tea bags provided, as well as basic spices. Plenty of towels and blankets. They keep a book for feedback and have clearly taken comments to heart. They seem to genuinely want their renters to have a wonderful experience, and they pay attention to details. I definitely recommend, and would stay here if we ever go back to the UP.
