About this property
Discover Lil' Casa Marquette!
Welcome to Lil' Casa – Your Cozy Marquette Getaway! Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood just off the beaten path, Lil' Casa is an inviting, Southwest-style home in beautiful Marquette, Michigan. Whether you are here to launch your next outdoor adventure, visit your student at NMU, attend a vibrant community festival, or simply unwind and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep, Lil' Casa is the perfect basecamp.
The Perfect Location Centrally located, you are just minutes away from everything Marquette has to offer. If you love exploring by foot or bike, you will love being steps from the Marquette Bike Path System, giving you easy access to the downtown district, the Lower Harbor, and the breathtaking Presque Isle nature area.
Minutes away from: Marquette Mountain, NMU, the hospital, local restaurants, and grocery stores.
Outdoor adventures: Biking, boating, hiking, and snow sports are right at your doorstep.
A scenic stroll: Walk up the road to the east toward the Fit-Strip for an awesome view of Hogsback Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Lake Superior in the distance. A short walk through the Fit-Strip and the beautiful adjacent cemetery—locally rumored to be designed by the same landscaping pioneers behind Central Park and the Biltmore Estate—leads you right into the heart of the city.
Your Private Outdoor Oasis In the back of the house, you’ll find a fully fenced-in backyard and private deck. It’s the ultimate spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a drink after a day of exploring. Depending on the season, you can pick a fresh peach from the tree, grab a handful of red raspberries from the abundant bushes, or harvest ripe grapes in October. The garden is beautifully alive with blooming irises, Lily of the Valley, lilac bushes, and grapevines.
Modern Comforts & Recent Updates Lil’ Casa has been lovingly updated over the past two years to ensure a modern, comfortable stay.
Fresh Interiors: Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new countertops, alongside beautiful new furniture in the living and dining rooms.

Property Highlights & Amenities: Prime Location: Easy bike or foot traffic to most areas of Marquette; just a 5-minute drive to Marquette Mountain ski area, North and South MTB trails, golf, and disc golf courses.

Experience the local flavor of the Upper Peninsula! From the bi-weekly Farmer's Market (Saturdays & Wednesday evenings) to Beer Fest, Art on the Rocks, and winter dog sled races, Lil' Casa puts you right in the center of it all.
Pets: Although the search may say that pets are allowed, I have recently changed this in the listing due to the number of issues and incidents over the past two years. If you have previously stayed with a pet and had no issues, reach out to me. I will consider the request, and if approved, add a pet fee to your stay.
