Beautiful waterfront retreat with kayaks and bikes
You will love this perfect waterfront retreat on the Chocolay River with Lake Superior access. This custom built house is designed to take advantage of the great outdoors. From the cozy covered front porch to the spacious backyard, this home offers a relaxing, private oasis overlooking 100' of river frontage with beautiful views, a 530 sq ft. raised wood deck, a hot tub and even a pirate ship playhouse designed for hours of fun for the littles. In the winter, you can access Marquette’s vast snowmobile trails right from the driveway!
For the biking enthusiast, the Heritage bike trail is right around the corner. From here you can bike less than four miles to downtown Marquette for a meal or a beer at one of Marquette's many craft breweries. You can bring your own bike or use one of the cruisers that we provide.
You can also fish from the shores for Pike or head out on the river in the kayaks provided where anglers report catches of Coho salmon and Lake trout. There are many bird species to be observed in the area including nesting bald eagles that fish the lake, migratory birds and an occasional Great horned owl. The land across the river is part of the Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve a sanctuary with hiking trails and prohibited development.
Upon entering this home from the covered front porch, you'll love the outstanding views of the river. The living room with its large windows, warm wood floors and fireplace will draw you in. The kitchen is spacious and welcoming with cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, heated floors, and a large island. The upper level master suite offers large windows overlooking the water, a walk in closet, full bath with tiled tub/shower enclosure and granite counter tops. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with a spacious bathroom complete with tiled floor and shower. The downstairs bedroom can also be used as a play room or second living room.

Stayed with a group during the Noque ski weekend. We loved it, especially the hot tub! Kitchen was extremely well stocked. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Drive to UNM/downtown Marquette took less than 10 minutes. We are already planning a repeat stay for next year!
We had a wonderful stay at Valerie’s property in Harvey! We enjoyed the brand new hot tub and quick access to the snowmobile trails! 5 stars and we certainly will try to be back soon!!
The home was exactly as described and offered a lot of amenities that made the experience great when we weren't out exploring Marquette and the surrounding area! Great place to book with a large group of friends and family!
We rented this place to house my daughter and her wedding party. Since the ring bearer was 3, the space was amazing for him! The rest of us enjoyed the beautiful view and many walks along the path that is right there. It was perfect!
The property was very sufficient for our needs and wants. The hot tub was a lot of fun. The veiw and privacy on the back yard was great. I hope we have the opportunity to stay here again.
We stayed at the home, to be close to NMU and attend our Sons graduation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even the Grandma and Grandpas felt comfortable in the home! They really were interested in the homes history! We loved the view, the hot tub…greatly stocked kitchen, and the full baby set up( but our granddaughter last minute, could not make the trip with her mom and dad, those were definite draws to our choosing the home!
The house was great, welcoming, clean, great views and bonus fresh snow to play in. Grandsons age 10 and 7 enjoyed skiing with Grandpa and parents while Grandma played with 2 1/2 year old in yard and house. There were TOYS and a good crib and fresh snow.
Loved our stay here with our 4 adult kids. House was well appointed and in a great location. Felt secluded on the river while being just a short drive to downtown Marquette. We enjoyed the kayaks and walking/bike trail right at the house. Marquette was fun to explore with cute shops and restaurants along with hiking and swimming. We also did a day trip to Pictured Rocks from here, just 45 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again!
Our Husky family reserved this amazing property for an extended autumn weekend for the Miners Cup at the Superior Dome. Everyone enjoyed the large and well stocked kitchen, comfortable living area, and hot tub. We look forward to visiting Marquette again soon!!
The property was gorgeous. All of the general household needs were provided which was a very pleasant surprise compared to other places I’ve stayed. The home was close to so many sights. It was a perfect place for 3 generations celebrating a family wedding!
Couldn’t have asked for a better host and property!
Reasonably close to mountain bike trails and downtown.
Plenty of room for us to spread out.
We had a couple of questions when we arrived that were answered very timely.
We would rent this one again in a heartbeat!!
This was the absolute perfect place for our family getaway. It was 5 adults and two children (5&2). The kids had so many toys and books to choose from. The playset was also a big hit. The kitchen was fully stocked and overall was very clean. Could not ask for more.
This home was perfect for our vacation. Beautiful water views with a hot tub to enjoy after hiking all day. We enjoyed the fireplace every morning while sitting on a comfortable sectional planning our hikes. The bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable as well. This home is perfect for families with children, it has a great backyard with activities to enjoy. We would love to come back here.
We stayed here in fall of 2022 for a visit with our NMU student. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy family time with distant college students. The kitchen is one of the best stocked of all the places we’ve stayed, making it easy to do home cooked meals.
House is quiet and the view of the water from everywhere in the house makes for a great way to start and end the day. Access to the Iron Ore Heritage Trail is great for walking and biking. Loved it!
