12 Best Airbnbs for your Marquette Michigan Elopement

Are you planning to elope in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and looking for a cozy and unique Airbnb to celebrate your special day? Look no further! I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 Airbnbs (+ 2 bonus stays) for a Marquette Michigan elopement in the Upper Peninsula.

This list is unique because it’s written from the perspective of a local. One of the advantages of choosing to live here in the U.P. is that I know which stays are close to which hikes, what feel an Airbnb has to offer and which hosts are going to give you a good experience. 

I have categorized these stays into three groupings; aesthetic, cabin vibes and unique stays. I’ve gone further and marked my favorites on this custom list. If you have questions about these listings, leave me a comment on this blog post. I’m happy to answer questions 🙂

Ok, let’s get into it.
