About this house rental
Thanks for checking out our beach home!
This home is on Lake Superior in one of Marquette's most remarkable locations. It is one of only two privately owned homes that are on the beach and yet still in town, where you can park your car and walk to everything. With wide, sweeping vistas of Lake Superior and the Marquette lighthouse, this home is literally steps to McCarty's Cove, a family friendly beach noted in USA Today’s “Best Small Towns for Adventure”. This home is near it all and away from it all, all at once!
From your home you can walk the beach with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise, then in the afternoon you can watch your children wriggle their toes in the clean Lake Superior sand and splash in its crystal clear waters. Come evening you can enjoy a meal and glass of wine while listening to the sound of the waves.
Walking into the home you are welcomed by an open kitchen surrounded by tall windows offering a 180 degree view of Lake Superior. There is a sun room open to the kitchen that provides a place to relax and take in the sights of the lake, McCarty’s Cove, and the Marquette Lighthouse.
The first floor includes a dining room, a living room with a gas fireplace, a bathroom with a washer and dryer, and a bunkbed room. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sun room with floor to ceiling windows ideal for watching 1000 foot freighters glide by on Lake Superior.
This home sleeps nine people and includes one master bedroom with a king sized bed, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, a second story sun room with a day bed, a first floor bunk bed room, and a queen size pull out couch in the living room.
The home is well-appointed with a kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, plates, glasses, and utensils. The bedrooms have comfortable linens and down comforters. The home has two bathrooms with an ample supply of towels. The home also includes WiFi and a television in the living room with Netflix.
Outside the home is a large deck with an outdoor dining set and outdoor seating perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while watching the waves roll onto the beach.
This is a four seasons home with a cool lake breeze providing air conditioning in the summer while protecting you late into the fall while you watch gale winds whip the waves into a frenzy from the comfort of your home. The home will keep you cozy during a U.P. winter storm and provide you a front row seat in the spring when the ice on the lake breaks up and ice bergs bob in the water.
If your ideal vacation involved parking the car for a week, you won't be disappointed. The city bike path is right in front of the home and you are walking distance to both the downtown and Third Street Village shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and brew pubs and within biking distance to Presque Isle Park. If adventure is on your list, you're just a short drive to waterfalls, vistas, and hiking, biking and running trails suited to any level of difficulty you desire.
Please feel free to contact us so we can answer any questions you may have about the home or Marquette. We are locals and live just blocks away and are happy to help you make the most of your stay!

House sits on one of Lake Superior’s most beautiful and user-friendly beaches. (Too bad for you rock hounds but heaven for walkers, swimmers, children and volleyball players!)
Proximity to town, mult-use path, parks, bike shop unmatched. Back of house, facing beach, filled with light and views. House is an eclectic mix of rooms-as one would expect from its 100 years plus age. Lots of charm. Owners responsive to communication.

This was our second stay and it did not disappoint. The location couldn't be better and the property has everything you need.

Greg & Kate’s home in MQT is wonderful. The home was clean and we were immediately greeted with a welcome basket and a note on their chalkboard. This is our 6th summer up to MQT, and their home is a favorite spot thus far. The location is great to walk to downtown- and a quick drive to Presque Isle. But the view of Lake Superior is something spectacular. The sunrise each morning was beautiful. If we lived here I’d park myself in the kitchen 24/7 for the view. Do yourselves a favor and book this cozy home in a great spot! Thanks for the stay!

Our family had a wonderful time this past Memorial Day weekend at this beach house. The location was incredible! The house is cozy and comfortable. We especially enjoyed playing football on the beach and the fire pit at night. Hoping to return again soon!

The house was wonderful. Great views and great location. Clean and comfortable. Short distance to town and a great little market across the street. I will definitely be going back. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality Greg and Kate

This is a great place for a small family or a group of friends to gather on the Marquette shore. The house itself is has modern updates but still keeps those beach cottage vibes. There is a nice mix of open spaces for the whole group to gather and niches for alone time. There is not a better location in Marquette, right on beach and bike trail with most of the town just a short walk away. The hosts were very professional and easy to work with.

We had a great visit for Christmas and New Year's. Great location, and fabulous view. Water was a bit chilly for our New Year's day polar plunge :-)

Fantastic home with all the amenities you could need! We felt welcomed warmly with the lights being left on for us as well as a wonderful greeting on the chalkboard. And their welcome gift basket was an over the top touch we all enjoyed. I could see this spot being super busy in summer, but our stay off peak kept it quiet and feeling like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Awesome stay!

We had debated about trying a VRBO, but were elated we did. The home was clean with beautiful views or Lake Superior. Sandwiched between downtown and campus it was perfect for us. We enjoyed just sitting and relaxing as well as the ne hobby of looking for sea glass.
All in all a great experience provided by Greg and Kate. Thank you both. Hope to be back soon!

Friends from the west coast came to visit and reminisce over college memories (55 years ago!), life journeys and all that happens in between. This home on the shore of Lake Superior offered gorgeous views of sunsets, quiet waves and sand, and inside was comfy and convenient in so many ways. Easy access to the bike path, downtown, restaurants and shopping, and the perfect place for our reunion. We loved it!

Great location - could use some updating. More kitchen supplies and a cleaner couch. We loved the location!

The property is breathtaking! Stairs leading down to the beach, a park next door for kids, and a walking path to downtown makes everything in Marquette accessible. The stairs leading to upstairs bedrooms are a bit treachorous as it is an older home, so I would not suggest for those with poor balance/trouble walking. Otherwise, beds are very comfy, the kitchen views are amazing, and the fire pit is perfect.
For any disc golfers, I highly recommend you check out the local disc golf courses they are phenomenal!
The local restaurants also have good coffee, great beer, and even better food (Get the cajun Whitefish at Vierling)!

The house has fantastic views of Lake Superior, the light house , big ships and the Oar Dock.
There are numerous sitting areas inside the house, on the deck and in the backyard as well as beach from where you can enjoy the view.
On a nice day you can sit at the picnic table enjoy a meal and look at the beach and light house. On a stormy day you can curl up by the gas fireplace and watch Lake Superior's powerful waves from the picture window.
The bike/walking path is near by and you can easily walk into downtown and shop or eat a meal.
The home is nicely decorated and clean. It is a place you can easly relax and feel at home.
We love this place so much that this was our second visit.

This was the nicest vacation property that we've ever stayed at. The hosts thought of every detail and the house was just beautiful overlooking McCarty Beach. The location within walking distance to downtown was perfect for going to breweries and dinner outings. Thanks Greg and Kate for helping make our 20th anniversary trip magical!
