10 AirBnb Home Rentals For Your Upper Peninsula Elopement near Marquette, Michigan
One of my favorite parts about helping couples plan their dream elopement is sending over lodging ideas. Of course nobody HAS to book the places I send over! But helping to find beautiful places to host couples for such an incredible event is always such an honor. It's also no surprise that photographing Marquette elopements is one of my favorites, so I wanted to make this post as a little resource for those of you looking for a beautiful place!
So many couples are realizing that eloping doesn't always have to mean running off to a stale courthouse. Eloping is about creating a day about doing what you love, whether that's spending the day with just the two of you, some close family or friends, surrounded by nature, going for a boat ride - you name it!
And that's where these AirBnbs for your upper peninsula elopement kick in. You can find a beautiful place to stay for just you, or if you are thinking of having a small wedding in Marquette you can host the event! I've pulled together some of the most beautiful & scenic Marquette area AirBnbs for you to check out that would be perfect for your elopement or if you just want somewhere beautiful for you to stay at during your experience. I hope you find one you love!

Luxury Beach House in the Woods - Champion, MI
I know these two haven't been the CLOSEST to Marquette, but how could I leave this one out?! If you've followed me for awhile this AirBnB might look familiar to you, and it's one that's very special to me because it's where my partner Todd and I got married last July!! It's crazy that that already feels like a lifetime ago, and I still really need to share my own photos of that day (until then you can see some photos from my amazing & incredibly talented friend/photographer Danielle Aisling here). It's the perfect spot to host your own intimate wedding with your friends or family, or to just have a beautiful place to stay!
"Newly remodeled! Come and watch the sunset over the lake each night from both the main living and huge walkout basement!

Dock, kayaks, swim and shallow entry make it a perfect house for families with kids- not to mention the newly redesigned playhouse! 2 new 2 seat jet skis available for rent as well!"

A beautiful deck, sauna, and TONS of natural light - I am just dreaming of all the wedding possibilities here!

Point of the Point Lakehouse - Marquette, MI
This is another favorite of mine because of its floor-to-cieling windows and its unique design! The interior of this home is also beautiful, with lots of wood and minimalist furniture. It's a beautiful, private home with lakefront access (and a really cool rocky beach I might add)!
"Built in 1974, this rustic and architecturally unique cabin is an all wood modified A-Frame nestled in the woods of the Upper Peninsula.
