About this property

Year-round hot tub, 2600 sq ft house with ample parking - Northstar Lodge

Welcome to Northstar Lodge! Nestled in picturesque Crane Valley at the base of Green Garden Hill, this hidden gem is set on a 6-acre property enveloped by pristine wilderness, yet only 9 miles from downtown Marquette. The original portion is a charming Montgomery Ward-style farmhouse built in 1930, at the time surrounded by a working farm. The great room and lodge hall were added later, and served as an antique store, an auction house, and a church at various points in this home’s history.

Guests will enjoy the house’s four comfortable bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, butler’s pantry with coffee nook, two spacious dining areas with seating for a total of 14, the inviting great room, a sitting room, and a parlor. Unique Birdseye maple flooring, antique furnishings, and modern comforts blend to create a warm (or in summer thanks to the central air conditioning - cool!) and welcoming atmosphere. With access to 2,600 square feet of living area, the home provides all the space needed to relax and make lasting memories.

Outdoor amenities include a huge yard which is perfect for lawn games, fire pit with seating for 10, and year-round hot tub.

Visitors are welcome to explore the property’s informal hiking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing trails. The property also provides access to Marquette's exhilarating snowmobile trail network: three miles of convenient highway right-of-way connects trails to our doorstep, making this a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. Our nearly unlimited parking offers ample space for multiple snowmobile trailers and RVs, giving you the opportunity to bring along all your toys without worrying about storage space. When it’s time to head out for dinner, shopping, sightseeing, or just to pick up supplies, a ten-minute drive along Highway 41 will take you to the beautiful city of Marquette, making it effortless to enjoy the city’s attractions and amenities.

Unwind and make your next getaway a memorable one at this unique and historic home – a place where adventure and comfort converge to create an unforgettable experience. Our goal is to provide everything you need for a truly remarkable vacation, and we can't wait to host you!

The lodge hall is expected to be complete in Summer 2026, adding 1600 square feet of living space! Please feel free to enquire about this addition and what it may provide for your group.

More than 8 overnight guests or 25 total guests may be allowed on a case-by-case basis; please contact us if you wish to exceed these numbers.

The house was plenty big enough for our family. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit as well as the provided firewood! The location was perfect for us to be able head into Marquette and enjoy some local breweries and food, but also provided us a good starting point to head out into the woods and hike!

A great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our time here. The location is close to NMU so we got to spend quality time with our oldest who goes to school there. Even with heavy snow and cold temps, the driveway was plowed daily and the hot tub was impeccable!It's such a lovely area of Michigan. We highly recommend!

Close enough to get to Marquette for shopping and dining but still far enough out for room to run for a dog and to enjoy outdoor campfires and the hot tub. There is great outdoor seating for relaxing and conversations outdoors. Crispy white bed linens, lots of towels. Clean. Well equipped. We really enjoyed our time at this house.

Great home with lots of character! Plenty of space for family to gather. The kitchen had nice pots, pans and utensils. The hot tub is big and clean! So magical sitting out in the hot tub when the snow is falling. My recommendations would be to add a railing on the outside steps, more washcloths and kitchen towels.

July 4th Marquette Retreat

5 friends and myself booked Amy’s place for a 4th of July get away. The VRBO was accurate to the listing and they recently installed a fire pit! We loved bonfires and roasting smores. The house was spacious with plenty of room to roam and the beds are comfortable. This is also much closer to downtown Marquette then you would think, an easy 8-10 minute drive to the Vierling or Ore Dock. They’re also completing some major renovations to make it even better. We would recommend to anybody young and old looking to enjoy all that Marquette has to offer!
