    Such a great place to stay and get away from it all! The house is perfect and has all the basics. The beach is pretty much right out the back door. The views were great. We had such a great time!

    The atmosphere of a rustic beach cabin with all of the conveniences of any comfortable home. Like a private dark sky park. We really enjoyed out time and would definitely stay again.

    My husband and I loved our time in Big Bay and it was a perfect get away! So quiet with fall colors. Great fire place with word burning stove on cold nights. Chris was super responsive and available at all hours

    We have stayed here several times over the last 15 years and never regretted it. The Bay is so beautiful, and to swim in Lake Superior is a real treat. The location is quiet and a good jumping point for day trips to other sights in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The cabin works very well for our family with a nice blend of cabin feel and modern touches. Chris is a great host and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommended!

    Beautiful wooded setting on a great beach. Even though it was a bit cool the kids got a lot of swimming in. The cabin is cozy but comfortable with a group. Everything you need is there.

    This was the 3rd time we've stayed at Chris's beachfront home. Everything was perfect - from the chrck-in process to the morning we left. Frosted mugs in rhe freezer to firewood that is provided - and just steps from beautiful Lake Superior.
