NMU graduation trip

Wish we would have discovered this gem of a property a couple years ago when my son transferred to NMU. While 12 miles outside of Marquette, the peacefulness of the location was perfect. It worked perfectly for our family to stay together while in town for NMU’s graduation.

Beautiful house

Great house, very comfortable, excellent restoration. We had an awesome time. There was an area-wide power outage the first night, hosts were very caring and responsive in that unexpected situation. We hope to stay again!

Beautiful farmhouse

The property was clean and well supplied for our party of 6. This is definitely a place that’s is warm and inviting. It allowed us to put down our electronics and play games (provided by host) break bread as a family and enjoy the surroundings. It was outside of the town we were there for (Marquette) but close enough to travel back and forth several times. The host answered our questions and for a first time VRBO host did an amazing job from Communication to what the place offered highly recommend and hope to stay there again

Farm House Stay

We enjoyed and appreciated our stay at the renovated farm house. The house is welcoming and has a charming character. Everything was clean and neat, and we had all that we needed.We had a little trouble getting in to the house initially, and our host was quick to respond, and we soon got in. The surrounding area is quiet and the field and trees in the backyard is lovely.
