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.

Heart of the Bike Trails

We planned on doing bicycle riding in Marquette and this home had the perfect location. The home was just a block from the City Trail that connects with the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. We had a wonderful stay! All the accommodations fit our needs. It was clean and welcoming. There is parking in the driveway.

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!!!

What a lovely home and property! We had a great time. The gorgeous garden and flowers were a definite plus. The home is very nicely furnished and was perfect for us. The location is great (quiet but close to everything). The host made us feel very much at home (and even left chocolates). We hope to return again!

Always just right!

We are repeat guests and spend several days in Marquette each year, usually in September. Bethney is a great host - always proactive and kind. And the house is squeaky clean inside and has a great fenced in back yard for our dogs - so it works for the whole family. We'll be back again!

Nice, Clean, and Reasonable

We enjoyed our stay here! It was freshly cleaned, had towels and fans available to us (A/C only in the bedroom), and felt homey for our short trip to Marquette. The only thing we wished it had was a washer / dryer, but didn't plan on it when packing so no biggie. Would definitely go back, thanks Lil' Casa!

Great place

This was a great little house to stay in for myself and my 2 dogs. There was a beautiful garden in the back with plenty of outdoor seating. I loved the filtered water in the refrigerator. It took a bit to cool down the house after I arrived since the ac is only in the bedroom, but there is a ceiling fan in the living room as well. It was a great place and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

A Get-Away Gem

Our stay was all we expected, and more. Check-in was so easy and it's a great location! We loved the yard and fenced backyard overflowing with beautiful fruit trees and blooming flowers--our pups loved to explore the fringes and chase the chipmunks! Very clean and very comfortable. We will definitely put this on our re-do list! My only request would be for Cable TV to be available.

Marquette

We was looking forward to the hot tub that was included in the listing when we booked it. Really disappointed when we got there and there was no hot tub. Little honesty would have been great. Overall nice location and the inside was very clean. Outside needs a lot of work including the front porch entrance. Will book it again in the future!!

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!

Close to bike path

Roomy home for 2 people. Close to the bike path. Could use some fresh paint in areas along with a deep cleaning of rug and a new mattress. The back yard needed some tidying up. The vines were so overgrown part of the deck was unusable. Some pruning and weeding would make the setting so much more attractive.

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.
