Dont be afraid of the name of this place! It is absolutely adorable and very comfortable. Stayed with my 2 sisters while visiting my daughter at NMU. Fall colors were at peak and absolutely AMAZING! House was very clean and comfortable. Lots of games and kids toyd. Highly recommended it and will be happy to go again!
Lori hosted us at this beautiful location. We had a wonderful weekend and no issues whatsoever. Great natural sunlight moving through the house and great decorations.
What a gem this place is! The home and furnishings are beautiful and the setting is SPECTACULAR! So peaceful and serene! The accommodations were thoughtful and made our stay perfection! Can't wait to visit again!
Just far enough out of town to not be in the chaos but close enough to get there when we needed to be. The home was very homey, and easy to come back to for relaxation. Definitely will stay again, hopefully for a longer duration.
Really enjoyed our stay. Location feels remote, but is about 20 minutes from most activities we wanted to do in the Marquette area. Would definitely consider staying here again.
We come to the Upper Peninsula every fall as a family adventure. Our choice of Slippery Jim's Raise eyebrows with the name. However, the rental was as it is described. We loved using it a our base camp as we explore Marquette - north, south, east and west. Waterfalls, trails scenic hikes, shopping downtown Marquette, and enjoying some great food. We found the provider Lori prompt and helpful. For the old folks all of us between 65-76 found it one of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Lori
This was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Marquette. Being just a short drive out of town (less than 20 min), it was conveniently close to trails, downtown restaurants, and beaches. The best part is not only that it felt private and secluded but the home is beautiful and the beds are comfy!

This was an adorable house situated on beautiful property. The beds were all very comfortable and it was such an enjoyable stay.
This was a great base camp while we were in the area looking at houses to purchase. House and property were great, nice and quiet. Only downfall was owner wouldn't sell it to me, lol.
