Welcome to Northstar Lodge, a new property owned and hosted by experienced Vrbo managers. Nestled in picturesque Crane Valley at the base of the Green Garden Hills, this 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. The great room and lodge hall areas were added later, serving as an antique store, an auction house, and a church at various points in this home’s history.

Guests will enjoy the house’s four comfortable bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, butler’s pantry with coffee nook, two spacious dining areas with seating for a total of 14, the inviting great room, a sitting room, and a parlor. Unique Birdseye maple flooring, antique furnishings, and modern comforts blend to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With access to 2,600 square feet of living area, the home provides all the space needed to relax and make lasting memories.

Pets welcome! Pet fee is $50 per stay.

Visitors are welcome to explore the property’s informal hiking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing trails. The property also provides access to Marquette's exhilarating snowmobile trail network: three miles of convenient highway right-of-way connects trails to our doorstep, making this a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. Our nearly unlimited parking 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!

Please note that access is currently restricted to the lodge hall as we prepare for expansion into a full-scale lodge experience, providing an additional 1600 square feet of space to accommodate larger groups in the future. Rest assured, no renovations will take place while guests are occupying the house. We can't wait to share this exciting expansion with you!

More than 8 overnight guests or 25 total guests may be allowed on a case-by-case basis; please contact us if you wish to exceed these numbers.
