The items include all of the general essentials in any well-utilized kitchen.

Some of the more classic staples include: a large stock pot, electric casserole pan, crock pots, glass casserole dishes, stoneware dishes, and more. For baking you have your choice of muffin tins, cupcake tins, cookie sheets, cookie cutters, cake pans, loaf pans, mixing bowls and so much more. There really is just too much to list.

In order to use all of these items - you'll need ingredients, so we cover the basics. We fully stock about 20 spices & herbs, sugar, flour, salt & pepper, and even peanut oil. You will also find clingwrap, aluminum foil, wax paper, and more.

Moving outdoors, on the .73 acres you will have plenty of room in the front and back and front yards to let the kids and dogs run freely! It is a great yard, perfect for socializing and soaking up the sun, with plenty of trees when shade is desired. The privacy of the location is also a great bonus! For entertainment, the back patio includes a classic circular charcoal grill as well as a propane tailgate style grill with multiple grate options. The in ground fire pit is a great place to kick back, grab a drink, a pal, and a seat. This firepit is stocked with wood, ready to create those warm summertime memories with S'mores and Brats around the crackles of a beautiful fire.

In the living room you will find an 86" smart TV, a 50" TV in the gym, a 38" TV in the blue Bedroom, and a 48" TV in the master bedroom.

The parking area is large and can easily accommodate multiple vehicles, as well as a number of trailers and RV's, all at once. There is a security camera facing the front parking areas, on the right side of the garage door. This doubles as a motion detecting light at night. The ranch is easy to find, located right off of US HWY 41, in a beautiful country setting. It's a 13-minute drive to the heart of Marquette, a 40-minute drive to Munising, and one hour drive 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. We cannot promise that each and every item listed will be available for each and every stay, but we can promise that we have always and will continue to 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 (2200 square ft) 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. There are also plenty of waterfalls nearby which could easily fill up day of simply touring the wide array of nearby waterfalls. It truly is a country vacation getaway. So come on over, drop your bags and relax at the HillCrest Ranch! We look forward to you and your crew becoming one of the may returning guests, year after year!
