Rückzugsort am Wasser: Whirlpool, Kajaks, Fahrräder & Lake Superior & Schneemobilzugang

Welcome to your private waterfront retreat on the Chocolay River, where you can kayak to Lake Superior, bike to downtown Marquette, relax in the new (2025) hot tub, and experience the best of Michigan's Upper Peninsula from one unforgettable location. Just minutes from downtown Marquette, with direct snowmobile access, this peaceful riverfront setting offers easy access to restaurants, breweries, shopping, beaches, hiking, and everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer.

Set on 100 feet of private river frontage, the backyard is designed for making memories. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch, spend the afternoon kayaking, prepare dinner on either the Blackstone griddle or propane grill, then gather around the fire pit or relax in the hot tub beneath the stars. Kids will spend hours playing on the custom pirate ship playhouse while adults enjoy the peaceful river views from the expansive 530-square-foot elevated deck.

Outdoor recreation begins right outside your door.
• Take the stairs down to the river to kayak the Chocolay River to Lake Superior or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful waterfront.
• Ride the nearby Heritage Trail to downtown Marquette using the complimentary cruiser bikes.
• Watch bald eagles soaring overhead, migratory birds, and frequent visits from local wildlife including rabbits, chipmunks, and Marquette's distinctive black squirrels.
• Explore the protected Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve directly across the river.
• In winter, access Marquette's extensive snowmobile trail system directly from the driveway.

Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to maximize the river views. Large windows fill the living room with natural light while the fireplace creates the perfect place to gather after a day outdoors.

Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before exploring or cooking a family dinner, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook for your group, including a full assortment of cookware, cooking utensils, serving pieces, basic spices and seasonings, an Instant Pot, a countertop air fryer, and many of the thoughtful extras that make preparing meals easy while you're away from home. Cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, heated floors, and a large island provide plenty of space for everyone to gather.

Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the river and features a walk-in closet and private bathroom with granite countertops and a tiled tub/shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends. Traveling with little ones? A nursery with a crib is available, and a high chair is provided so you can pack a little lighter. The lower-level bedroom also serves as an ideal second living space or playroom, giving everyone room to spread out.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples' getaway, an outdoor adventure, or simply a peaceful weekend beside the river, this waterfront retreat is the perfect home base for experiencing everything Marquette has to offer.
