The house is good sized with 3 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and comfortable living spaces including a screened porch, outside deck, and large yard for kids to play or to have a campfire. The property was clean and spacious, with comfortable accommodations, all within minutes from either a terrific Lake Superior beach or Lake Independence. And while Big Bay is a smaller community, it does offer a convenience store in case you need a last-minute grocery item or an ice cream shop for an end day treat. Walks and bike rides are very easy, and there are plenty of outdoor attractions along the 30-minute route from Big Bay to Marquette including Thomas Rock, Alder Falls, Little Presque Isle park, and Sugar Loaf Mountain. If you like a quiet, remote, pleasant place to stay within a half hour of city attractions, Big Bay is a very nice choice. Our host (Wendy) was super hospitable and we are very grateful for our wonderful family getaway to the U.P.!

Great For a Long Weekend

Spent a long weekend here with family. There were tons of indoor and outdoor toys for the kids and plenty of room for the dog to explore. There isn't wifi and the service isnt great, but there is satellite TV. There's a decent park just a block down the road that the kids loved, too!

Comfy Stay in Big Bay

Wendy is an amazing host! She was in communication with us before our stay and gave some great recommendations on hikes. She went above and beyond in preparing the space for our family—with treats and toys and entertainment that everyone enjoyed. The house is in an awesome location with a great backyard if you want to stay in, or several awesome spots within walking distance (Burns Beach is a 15 min walk and the Lumberjack Tavern is a 5 min walk). There are several great hikes within 15-20 min of the home that are good for all ages. We had a great time and can’t wait to visit again!

Comfortable Home with All You Need

This home was exceptionally clean! Everything we needed for the week had been anticipated by the host. There were plenty of dishes in the kitchen, plenty of towels in the house and plenty of space for all seven of us who stayed here for almost a week. Thank you Wendy for quickly replying to all inquiries. You are indeed a Super Host !

Nice upper peninsula Michigan house

The house has been updated and has a very nice upstairs bathroom. Hosts have attention to detail; artsy decorations, games for kids and adults, reading material, wood swing, fire pit, etc. As pics show, decks in front and side of house as well as sun room for chilly mornings or inclement weather. Kitchen well supplied with cooking utensils. We felt very welcome. Lack of internet and poor cell service (our phones are mvno) made communication difficult but who goes to Big Bay Michigan for streaming movies? No dishwasher but plenty of cleaning and drying supplies. All bedrooms upstairs. We really enjoyed our august stay and would definitely stay here again.

Adventure all around!

This place was great! It had so much to do at the house like indoor and outdoor games, literature, and the fire pit and grill. The rooms, furniture, and decor were so comfortable that it would have been nice to bunker down and enjoy the ombiance. But there was adventure all around and we had to go explore! There is a park nearby that you can get a day pass to swim and play or there's Burns Landing where you get to swim in Lake Superior, which we did! The water was perfect. We visited lighthouses and waterfalls in the area, some were very close. There's a famous murder case that happened in Big Bay that we did a little investigating on. We had a blast using the outdoor games, sprinkler, fire pit, making smore's, and eating outside. The house was set up nicely and provided everything we needed and more! Thank you Wendy!
