We spent 6 days in this lovely house. We enjoyed having all the room with 6 little kids under 8. There's a game room with pool table and ping pong table. The home was very clean & decorated beautifully. They had thought of everything, down to extra toothbrushes if we forgot ours. They had setup a place for flyers of places to eat & drink. The backyard is gorgeous. It offered a wonderful to relax. The firepit area was perfect for evening smores. The home is located in a pretty area and within a short distance to hiking, shopping and restaurants. We will definitely be staying there again on our next visit to the area.
All was great. Had to change one set of sheets as there was dog hair on them. TV in bedroom did not come on. All VERY MINOR ISSUES. Great house for family. Looking to come back for snowmobiling.
Nice older.family home. Spacious layout with many bedrooms. Some items needing a little.more.TLC to keep up to date. Fix things broken, bulbs burned out. Pillows need to be replaced.and updated.
We stayed at this property to join a 3rd birthday celebration for a family member with several extended family members. It was close to Marquette and Munising so very convenient. The house was very clean and spacious with ample amenities for all. We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.
My family loves this house. The location is convenient. The house is so comfortable. And the sauna, pool table, ping pong, and foosball make it such an enjoyable place for everyone to stay. We have stayed here twice now, and wouldnât hesitate to come back again.
The home was well organized, clean, and fun! Plenty of games and things to do. Also, the book with recommendations for places to go was extremely helpful.
We were in Marquette for a wedding, so there was plenty of outside activities. However, this property was full of entertainment for our down time. This is a great place to stay!
What a fantastic property and was as exactly as advertised, with plenty of room for all of us. The location was close enough to Marquette. I found it Peaceful and quiet with plenty of on-site activities for everyone such as the pool table (which got the most use), ping pong, outdoor grill, sauna, and fire pit. The kitchen has all of the supplies and made our stay very pleasant. The house was very well kept and clean. Everything we needed was provided. If you're ever heading to the Marquette area, this is a must stay!
We had a group of 8 adults up for a ski weekend. We found Hillcrest Ranch comfortable and clean and the decor and game room really added to the fun. A bit rough around the edges, but solid.
Thank you!
Great location with a short drive to downtown Marquette, hikes and breweries. Our adult family with a dog had plenty of room with everyone having their own bedroom. The guys played pool while I prepared food in the large kitchen that was fully stocked with extra pantry items in case anyone forgets the basic spices ,etc. The large fridge/freezer fit all our food. We cooked our dinners on the webber grill and enjoyed the campfires in the evening. The stack of wood waiting for us was a nice touch.
When I first booked this property last year, 12 of us were going to stay and I was a bit nervous that there would be enough room. Well there was more then enough room even though only 8 of us were able to stay. The house is very roomy, had more then enough linens & towels and the kitchen was nicely equipped. My grandchildren, four of them ranging from age 6 1/2 (its important to her that I say half) to 16 years old were never bored when there were so many things to do in the game room. Marquette was a perfect location for us to see many of the UP landmarks. Our thanks to Kurt for the fantastic place to use for this years amazing vacation.
Overall, the place was great. Host/manager was very accommodating for an early checkin time. The house was in a great location just outside of Marquette. A lot of room for guests. My only complaint is that there were some minor maintenance issues. One particular issue being the chairs in the kitchen. Nearly all of the same rests were wobbly and if you would put your weight on with your hands to push up from sitting, the arm rests would pop off. Someone could get hurt. Overall, it was a nice place.
Nice, heated, two car garage is perfect for family reunions or group parties, motorcycle storage, even ride snowmobiles from the ranch to hit the local trails. Great backyard for fires and grill outs. Pull out sofa in the living room.
Pool table, ping pong, foosball, large group sauna. Kuerig and regular coffee pot with a backup in pantry. The owner lives on some property nearby, so if you need anything - he's usually just a phone call away!
