About this house rental

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!

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!

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!

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! :)

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!

We stayed at the summer cottage during our visit to Marquette over Labor Day weekend. The cottage was cozy and welcoming— the hosts were communicative and even kept the lights on for our our arrival to make sure that check in was a breeze. The house was in a good location and we were able to walk to the downtown for restaurants, shopping, and breweries. The mountain bike trails were just a short 10 min drive as well! This was a great place to land after a long day out and about. We ate out for all of our meals and spent the day at the beach or on the trails so we didn’t spend a ton of time at the cottage. If you’re planning to stay at the cottage for most of your day, be sure to pack all of your toiletries or other comforts and perhaps ziplock baggies/food storage if cooking at the cottage is more your speed. We were so thankful to have the window AC unit in the bedroom especially since Marquette was unseasonably hot. It’s a great cottage for a summer getaway in Marquette!

Location was great! We walked to the co-op, the lake, and other great coffee/treat places (Contrast Coffee, 321 West Patisserie, Doenkers). The Summer Cottage met our needs for comfort and to make some simple meals when we'd had enough and needed to get away. I also biked the trails near the lake. The bed was comfy and the shower pressure great. I love the tap water for drinking. Recommended stay!

We enjoyed a cozy two night stay in this quiet carriage house. Quiet, that is, when we weren’t spin doctors cranking up a few of our favorite 80s rock ‘n roll songs on the turntable! What fun! While we did bring a few of our own small kitchen items to help with making a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, the supplies on hand were quite ample. The place was very clean, there is a surprising amount of storage, the shower is tiny but good water pressure, and finally, the decor is bright and cheerful. All in all a great stay.
