You'll begin creating memories you'll want for a lifetime in this 4 level oasis, spacious enough to mingle with your friends and family, or disappear from them as needed 😉. This country chic 5 bedroom ranch-style farmhouse sleeps 12 and includes: 1 brand new king size bed (as of 12-12-2022), 2 queen beds, 1 brand new full size bed (as of 12-12-2022), 2 twin beds (1 brand new as of 1-18-2023 and the other brand new as of 7-20-2023), 1 pull out sofa bed (in the living room), and 1 full size quite comfy futon. There are 2 spacious bathrooms. The bathroom upstairs encumbers a full closet for everyone's products, a full bathtub / shower combo, recessed lighting and above sink vanity lights. The downstairs bathroom draws waves with its nautical theme, vintage charm, stand-up shower and extra shelving for storing your essentials. The sauna is custom built right off of the attached garage. It has a changing room attached, with a shower and lower bucket faucet all inside of it. Quite a great place to meditate! Kitchen appliances are stainless steel. There is a beauty salon area (pre-booking available with a professional hairdresser for large groups). The brand-new washer and a dryer are available to use for your convenience, along with detergent & dryer sheets. Please note that the home uses well water, so improper laundering use may hinder results. The dining room table seats 6 and the kitchen table seats 4. All of the rooms are also very soundproof which is another bonus for people in separate areas of the house doing completely different activities.

We do our best to make sure the house is filled with everything you may need for your daily living, including all general cookware (i.e. pots, pans, spatulas, dishes, utensils), Crock-Pot, regular coffee pot, a Kuerig, tea kettle, baking sheets, muffin pans, spices, dish soap, paper towel, et cetera. Please note that we cannot always guarantee these items, so please ask ahead if you will need a specific item. In the restrooms we provide all linens such as: bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, as well as toilet paper, hand soap, a hair dryer, and then some. In case you forget yours - we also strive to consistently stock body wash, hair towels, shower caps, cotton balls, cotton pads, and even Q-tips! We truly want you to have the best experience possible at the ranch, as memories usually aren't made making store runs.

Basic amenities include: fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kuerig, toasters, washer and dryer, etc.

The back and front yards are both large and beautiful, making it perfect for socializing. In the backyard, you will find a classic circular charcoal grill, as well as a propane tailgate style grill with multiple grate options. You can kick back, grab a drink, a pal, and a seat around the in-ground fire pit, which is stocked with wood for your sensual pleasures.

Back inside, in the game room you will find a pool table and numerous other games. You will find a 65" flatscreen TV in the living room, a 38" tv in the blue Bedroom, and a 48" TV in the master bedroom. In the heated garage (connected to the game room) you will find a foosball table, a ping pong table, and a dry bar.

The parking area is large and can easily accommodate large vehicles as well as a number of trailers and RV's. It is easy to find, located right off of US HWY 41 in a beautiful country setting. It's a 15-minute drive to Marquette, a 40-minute drive to Munising and one hour to Escanaba.

We do our best to accommodate all of the items in this home for your comfort and pleasure, however from time to time - items are broken. We appreciate knowing when they are, so we have time to replace them for the next guest's arrival. Please respect this leniency. Also, we cannot promise that each and every item listed will be available for each and every stay, but we can promise that we have and will continue to always do everything we can to keep up with replacements and the changes needed to accommodate your stay to the closest representation humanly possible. Lastly, please note this is a very large ranch-style home, in the country and thus it is more shabby-chic/vintage-modern/farmhouse than it is Taj Mahal! Please book according to your preference.

There are plenty of ATV and snowmobile trails nearby, which would likely not be so accessible if the ranch was not located on a main highway. There are also plenty of waterfalls nearby to which would easily make a full day of simply touring the waterfalls. It truly is a country vacation getaway! So come on over, drop your bags and relax at the Hill Crest Ranch!

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!

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 wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Great spot for that Greywalls golf getaway
Overall, this property has everything you need for a large group to have a comfortable stay. I brought up a group of 8 guys ranging in age of 42-74. All of us were able to have our own bed and we slept very comfortable. The living space in the home was awesome. We tended to be in the bar area playing pool or the kitchen area playing poker. All of the guys agreed that this was a nice find for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone with a larger group coming to the area. Greywalls is a beast by the way.

Vacation before school
The VBRO pic is now removed showing a game room with 3 games being a BIG reason we rented with teenagers and 2 of their high school friends as a trade off being a min of 1 1/2 hours away from our planned daily destinations. We looked to book fun things to keep teens occupied in the evenings when we returned. There is nothing in that location near by. Of the 3 games that were pictured in that room only 1 was their -ping pong. I contacted the property manager and the NEXT day another game was brought in. We were told the air hockey is broke. It never came. Most of the bedroom windows were sealed shut and couldn’t be opened, air conditioning is a wall unit not in bedrooms. The day we swam in Lake Superior it dropped to low 60s that evening and the house thermostat is locked shut! I’m not sure this is legal. The property manager said the owner would come as allegedly he lives close by but then said he wasn’t coming. He owns and operates a landscape business right next door with a business drive through the property fortunately we didn’t see that drive being used during our stay. The house is on a busy highway, noisy trucks all night and scary for us as pet owners even using harness and leashes. Had I know these circumstances we would have booked elsewhere.

Perfect House for Our Family!
We had a wedding in the area and this property was perfect for our stay. We spent a lot of time in the backyard playing outdoor games. Plenty of bedrooms and space for indoor activities. We utilized the indoor game rooms. We did blow a fuse while prepping for the wedding and the owners were very responsive in taking care of the issue. We have our own VRBO location in SW Michigan and we highly recommend this home in the U.P.

Not accuarate posting
This property boasts in severeal areas that it is perfect for a family reunion yet when I mentioned there would be guests coming for one day, they charged me more. The grass was not cut and actually very long. The outside benches by the fire were caved in and looked scary to sit on. Inside the house there were broken windows, arms of chairs and the railing up the stairs was very loose. Overall, the house was nice and suited our needs, but don't excpect the Taj Mahal. One last thing, it should be known that this house is right on the highway with lots of traffic.

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.

Great Vacation Home
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.

The house was a nice size for our group. The owner was accommodating as he allowed us to check in early and made sure we had bonfire wood. Because it was so wet we weren't able to have a bonfire. All the game tables were undeveloped but the kids had fun anyway. The place is in need of TLC ( fresh paint, rickety chairs) but it was ok

The Ranch had plenty of room for our family Thanksgiving along with celebrating 2 birthdays within the group. The multi level house allows for distancing when needed but has lots of room to gather as a group for eating, visiting, playing games. Nice large yard for campfires and plenty of room for parking. We enjoyed our stay very much!
