Quiet, clean, and beautiful scenery
Lynn and Eric were fantastic hosts. We were visiting for our 2nd wedding anniversary. Quiet, clean, and beautiful scenery. It was easy to find and close to downtown. We spent our time hiking and exploring Marquette, and really appreciate Lynn and Eric’s help when we ended up in a bind. Highly recommend!

Quiet stay
Lynn and Eric were attentive to my needs and let me enjoy their cornacopia of flower beds on the hillside gardens. The patio was my favorite place to enjoy the forest with my morning coffee and evening wine. The home was very clean and organized. I would stay here again.

UP retreat
This is a nice enough little apartment but it had a few inadequate little things wrong. For instance the shower is not very good for a handicapped person. Not set up right . Even with the shower chair I had a hard time showering. The living room couch was not very comfortable with sinking down in the cushions. The kitchen was very nice .the best part about this place was the garden and the flowers. We did get to see quite a few wild animals overall it was a very nice place
