The Summer Cottage - 1 bedroom home central to downtown and NMU. Bring the dog!

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!

couldn't have asked for better
It's a super cute cottage and just the thing we were looking for. Located really near many restaurants and other attractions and easy to get to no matter what direction you come from. The hosts have a great sense of style on this property and they were a joy to converse with. I would highly recommend this one!

We loved our stay at this house! Everything was exactly as described and every amenity was provided. The location was great! We walked to our daughters graduation ceremony at NMU, we walked to restaurants, we walked to get ice-cream, and we walked every evening to McCartys for a beach walk.

Long weekend getaway
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!

Visit to Marquette
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!

We loved our stay here while exploring Marquette. Close to downtown but away from the fray. Completely quiet and cost with a phenomenal bed and lots of cute mid-century decor. Greg was a great host and we had everything we could need. This is where we’ll stay anytime we’re back in Marquette!
