About this property

Northstar Lodge - 4000 sq ft + Year-Round Hot Tub

Welcome to Northstar Lodge! Nestled in picturesque Crane Valley at the base of Green Garden Hill, the hidden gem is set on a 6-acre property enveloped by pristine wilderness, yet only 9 miles from downtown Marquette. The original portion is a charming Montgomery Ward-style farmhouse built in 1930, at the time surrounded by a working farm. This home is both spacious and cozy, and outdoor spaces include a large yard, fire pit, and year-round hot tub.

Guests will enjoy the house’s six comfortable bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two full kitchens, butler’s pantry with coffee nook, three spacious dining areas with seating for a total of 26, and three separate large living room spaces. Unique Birdseye maple flooring, antique furnishings, and modern comforts blend to create a warm (or in summer thanks to the central air conditioning - cool!) and welcoming atmosphere. With 4,000 square feet of living area, the home provides enough space to gather everyone together under one roof. At various times in the property's history, the lodge hall space was used as a church and an antique store - it's now been converted to living space ideal for large groups!

Outdoor amenities include a huge yard which is perfect for lawn games, fire pit with seating for 10, and year-round hot tub.

Visitors are welcome to explore the property’s informal hiking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing trails. The property also provides access to Marquette's snowmobile trail network: three miles of highway right-of-way connects trails to our doorstep, making this a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. The large yard offers ample space for multiple snowmobile trailers and RVs, giving you the opportunity to bring along all your toys without worrying about storage space. When it’s time to head out for dinner, shopping, sightseeing, or just to pick up supplies, a ten-minute drive along Highway 41 will take you to the beautiful city of Marquette, making it effortless to enjoy the city’s attractions and amenities.

Unwind and make your next getaway a memorable one at this unique and historic home – a place where adventure and comfort converge to create an unforgettable experience. Our goal is to provide everything you need for a truly remarkable vacation, and we can't wait to host you!

The house was plenty big enough for our family. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit as well as the provided firewood! The location was perfect for us to be able head into Marquette and enjoy some local breweries and food, but also provided us a good starting point to head out into the woods and hike!

A great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our time here. The location is close to NMU so we got to spend quality time with our oldest who goes to school there. Even with heavy snow and cold temps, the driveway was plowed daily and the hot tub was impeccable!It's such a lovely area of Michigan. We highly recommend!

Close enough to get to Marquette for shopping and dining but still far enough out for room to run for a dog and to enjoy outdoor campfires and the hot tub. There is great outdoor seating for relaxing and conversations outdoors. Crispy white bed linens, lots of towels. Clean. Well equipped. We really enjoyed our time at this house.

Great Trip

This was a great find for our short trip to the Marquette area. A perfect launching spot for Presque Isle fun like Black Rocks cliff jumping and sunsets all the way over to kayaking at Pictured Rocks. Spacious, clean, with all the amenities of home. Hot tub, lots of games, cool fire pit with smores included, and great coffee bar. Amy was super responsive with our questions. Would definitely recommend North Star!

Great home with lots of character! Plenty of space for family to gather. The kitchen had nice pots, pans and utensils. The hot tub is big and clean! So magical sitting out in the hot tub when the snow is falling. My recommendations would be to add a railing on the outside steps, more washcloths and kitchen towels.

July 4th Marquette Retreat

5 friends and myself booked Amy’s place for a 4th of July get away. The VRBO was accurate to the listing and they recently installed a fire pit! We loved bonfires and roasting smores. The house was spacious with plenty of room to roam and the beds are comfortable. This is also much closer to downtown Marquette then you would think, an easy 8-10 minute drive to the Vierling or Ore Dock. They’re also completing some major renovations to make it even better. We would recommend to anybody young and old looking to enjoy all that Marquette has to offer!
