About this property

In a neighborhood just off the beaten path, sits Lil' Casa; an inviting and peaceful southwest-style home in beautiful Marquette, Michigan.

Centrally located and minutes from Marquette Mountain, NMU, the hospital, grocery stores, as well as all the biking, boating, and snow activities you could dream of! This is a great location to launch your next seasonal adventure, visit your student at NMU, attend one of Marquette's many community events, or just enjoy a good night's sleep.

Just up the road to the east toward the fit-strip is an awesome view of the surrounding area, Hogsback MT, Sugar Loaf MT, and Lake Superior can be seen in the distance. A short walk through the fit strip and adjacent cemetery (which local legend has it was designed by the same landscaping pioneers as Central Park and the Biltmore Estate gardens) leads you towards the city center.

If you like getting around by foot or bike, you'll love that you are only steps away from the Marquette Bike Path System for easy access to the Presque Isle nature area, downtown Marquette, and the Lower Harbor.

In the back of the house, you will find a deck along with a fenced-in backyard offering a private outdoor space to enjoy your coffee in the morning or relax in the evening after a day out and about. Enjoy a peach or two off of the tree or pick some red raspberries from the abundance of bushes. The back fence is lined with lilac bushes on one side and grape vines on the other (the grapes are ripe and ready to pick in October). There are many flowering plants and bushes throughout the outside space including irises and Lilly of the Valley.
Experiences local flare with a visit to the farmer's market (Saturday & Wednesday evenings), Beer Fest, Artofnh the Rocks, dog sled races, and other community festivals and shenanigans.

Great Little Place!

I stayed for 17 days to visit my NMU student. I found it to be a very convenient location to the Dome, campus, dining, trails, and I brought my dog along and he enjoyed the fenced-in backyard. The house was clean and had everything you need for an extended stay. I plan to stay again and highly recommend!!!

Great price and location!

Wonderful little house with nice small touches made our visit easy! Very cute house inside and was larger than expected with an extra bed and a basement area. Living room/dining and kitchen were nicely laid out and kitchen had everything we need. Fenced in yard was nice. Only thing for those with larger dogs, especially if they are jumpers be aware of front area of the fence is shorter than the back and could be jumped. Great for non jumpers or smaller dogs. Neighborhood was very quiet. Nice trail area for walks and close to town. We will definitely be back!

It felt like home for us and our pups

We were excited to take a mini vacation with our dogs and we were not disappointed. The photos and description of this property is spot on. The house is warm and inviting, close to a lot of fun things to do and has a fenced in yard for the dogs. The bike path is close. We took advantage of the proximity to Dead River Trails as well. We had no problems with the check in, check out process. The host was friendly and helpful. There are other dogs in the neighborhood, so using the fenced in back yard was a nice amenity. The back entry way is awkward to say the least. If your dogs have problems with stairs, it might be a challenge for them, however a gate is provided. We did not utilize the kitchen as much as we could have, but everything is provided. There are plenty of coffee shops, breweries and parks near by. We are hoping to be back sometime soon.

About the host

Hosted by Bethney

Hello! I am an Upper Peninsula native, having grown up in the neighboring town of Negaunee. After college, I lived in Arizona for a few years and loved the Spanish-style architecture there. I have lived in Marquette for the past 25 years and have owned Lil' Casa for just about as long! Lil' Casa was as close as I could get to having a bit of Arizona in Marquette! Here in Marquette, I work at the university. I love getting out on the trails in the summer and downhill skiing at Marquette Mountain in the winter. I know the area well so please feel free to ask any questions!

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the bike path provides access to all areas of Marquette. Leave your car at the house and enjoy a bike ride, walk, or run to so many of the local attractions.
