Big Bay, Michigan
Walk through the door of this recently built log home and you immediately feel the warmth of the cedar logs and hardwood floors that surround you. Enter further, and you’ll utter the exact word that nearly every single person that came before you: WOW! It’s the 2 story, floor to ceiling windows, filled with a stunning view of Lake Superior a mere 60 feet away that causes this involuntary response. The undeniable sights, sounds, and smells of the environs of Lake Superior have taken over. It is now that you realize your journey has ended and your vacation has begun.
To take advantage of this spectacular view, you’ll enjoy it from a very open living space with vaulted ceilings. The dining room and living room are centered on a natural stone fireplace. You’ll move around the space as you prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, enjoy eating at the 6-seat dining room table, and then move into the relaxing living room for an evening of a crackling fire, good conversation, reading, darts... or whatever suits the mood.
When it’s time to retire for the evening, the downstairs bedroom sleeps 2 in a double bed while the master suite/loft includes a queen bed and very comfortable double air-mattress. As you awake from your lofted slumber in the master suite, you’re once again face-to-face with beauty of Lake Superior.
There’s no doubt you’ll be drawn to explore all the area has to offer. From fishing and hiking to snowshoeing and cross country skiing… If it’s the pristine outdoors you seek, step outside and you’re there. Just be sure you’re back in time to enjoy the most amazing lakeside sunsets and cozy bonfires.
This very special home is conveniently located just 3 miles from the community of Big Bay. There you’ll find most everything you need to make your stay complete including an outdoor outfitter with kayak rentals, general/mini-grocery store, a cafe and restaurants. About 25 miles further down the road you’ll find the charming yet progressive town of Marquette. You’ll definitely want to spend a day exploring the variety of shops, restaurants and lakeside parks that make this town one of the most livable and friendly cities you’ll visit.
The property was just as described. The only down side is no washer or dryer. That’s the only downside…. Everything else was amazing. Thanks Dave!
The outside lake views are great. Was visiting the area for fall colors. The sound of the large October waves made great sleeping. Quiet area around the cabin, lots of deer nearby. The beds were comfortable. The cabin was clean. Plenty of space in the kitchen. Everything was great. A few end of season maintenance recommendations: The bathroom door needs readjustment, hard to close. The stairway to the loft has a guard rail but really needs a standard grip handrail for safety. Other than that no negatives.
The cabin was exactly as described. We had a great week in the area hiking, kayaking, and checking out the museums and local history. Will definitely be back!
Clean and neat with all sorts of thoughtful items like kayaks, firewood, lighters, and nice linens. Our only negative is the flukey weather was an unusual 95 degrees and there was no functioning cooling system. Once the temp dropped into the 50s it was perfect.
We love this place! View and access to the lake are amazing. It’s quiet and you hear waves and lake breeze. BBQ, fire pit, watching stars. Kitchen had lots of pots and pans and practical for simple meal prep. The road is good for jogging and walking. The upstairs balcony is open, so there’s not loads of privacy but our kids worked remotely using the wifi. We loved the lighthouse tour Sunday afternoon. For those of us not working we were outside all day and enjoyed the cosy, clean camp at night. It was a great week.
Beautiful log home on Big Bay, great sunsets and fantastic weather wether rain or shine!
This was our second year here and it was just as great as our first stay! Cabin was clean, had everything we needed, and the location is wonderful. It is a great place to come back to and relax after a day of UP adventures! We plan to return again soon!
A great place - so peaceful, only short drives to loads of hikes and just a 30min drive to Marquette for anything you might want/need.House is lovely and comfortable: kitchen had the equipment we needed to make all our meals in, comfortable beds (with amazing view from those in the loft), gas grill, and a wonderful 3-season porch. We spent a lot of time just sitting and watching and listening to the lake from the living room, the porch and deck. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back!
We had a wonderful week together at the cabin, enjoying outings to go hiking, and kayaking with the provided kayaks on Lake Superior. The screened room was really a nice way to sit and relax without mosquitos. I can’t remember if the listing specified this, but there is one main level bedroom, and an upstairs loft room with two beds to sleep four in that loft area, 6 total. We cooked for ourselves (Walmart pickup 45 min away in Marquette) and found the kitchen well stocked and a good home base. The deck view is beautiful and the area is peaceful. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets every night!
Beautiful views, clean well appointed home. Plan on coming back!
This was a much needed break! Just my husband and I that stayed for the week.
From the moment we walked in, we knew that we would love it here. The cabin has a well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the wonderful sunsets and the quietness of the woods and wildlife. Every day was an adventure. We hiked Sugarloaf Mountain, Thomas Rock Overlook, Yellow Dog Falls, Hog Back Mountain, on a rainy day we walked NMU's Wooden Dome, Pinnacle Falls and even drove to the McCormick Wilderness. The people of Big Bay are so friendly. There is still more to see in Big Bay. We would like to be able to come back in the wintertime to enjoy the many trails in Big Bay. Dave, thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin! We shall return! Patty & Martin
My wife and I have rented this property every year for the past 6 years. And will continue to do so. We come here to Simply decompress. And get some needed peace and quiet from this insane world we live in. We have never been disappointed in any way by coming here. Can't wait until the next time.
A remote cabin on Lake Superior with beautiful views and near Pictured Rocks. Plenty of hiking, visiting falls, lots of wildlife and Marquette the nearest city. Love hanging at the cabin or exploring remote areas.
It was good
We had an absolutely wonderful week staying here! The home is welcoming and inviting and had everything we needed. The views of Lake Superior from within the home were breathtaking! We loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset, and strolling on the rocks admiring the beauty of the lake. It is a quiet, peaceful place for a retreat! We'll be back!
So peaceful and quiet and picturesque! We loved watching the sun set at 11:45 PM! Great place! Great people! Thank you SO MUCH!!
The cabin exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well equipped and we also enjoyed making some meals on the gas grill. The bay view from the back porch was so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was a perfect spot to return to after seeing the sights. We also saw lots of wildlife in the area and saw a doe and her fawn in the backyard. Would definitely stay here again.
The house is perfect. Beautiful view of the lake. It is so peaceful - we enjoyed the quiet beauty of the property and surrounding area. The house was very clean and we had everything we could have possibly needed. We would def stay here again, we were sad to leave. Thanks for sharing your lovely home on the lake.
This was our second stay at this Big Bay cabin, the first, four years ago, before the pandemic. We had a terrific time! A gorgeous cabin, inside and out, and in what a beautiful location! The cabin itself is huge, roomy, alive with sunlight and then moonlight light, and offers a western exposure over Lake Superior that provides incredible sunsets. The room are above comfortable, the beds great, and the kitchen up to the task of taking care of yourselves for two weeks, which is what we did. Just super! Great spot, great support, we'll be back next Spring.
Very quiet and within walking distance of the big bay lighthouse. Wonderful cabin in the woods on the water. We will definitely be back.
Your host Dave is extremely accommodating and has the hospitality of a true Yooper. He made sure everything went smoothly and we enjoyed our stay. His cabin is a true up-north paradise. It was the most clean and organized rental home we have ever stayed in. The best part is Lake Superior is in your backyard! The sunsets and beach are truly beautiful. Many great trails and hiking in the area as well. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back! Thanks again Dave for sharing your little piece of heaven!
