    Actually, we were given the option to transfer to another VRBO for the same price. We did & it was an even better place. Thank you, Gina & Paul.

    Great little property. Did end up getting colder than I expected but there was a heater for use. I spent most of my time hiking or in marquette which was an easy drive.

    What a fun and quirky caboose! This was the perfect base camp for us and our motley crew, and Gina and Paul were just lovely. The lake was beautiful and location spot on for chasing waterfalls and Superior beach time with the pups. The caboose was super charming with everything we needed….we would love to stay again!

    Absolutely Magical Stay in the Converted Caboose!Our stay at the caboose in Big Bay, MI was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we could feel how thoughtfully this space was designed. It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed—including a perfectly equipped kitchen that made it easy to cook together. Even the furniture was impressively well-chosen; the thickly padded folding chairs had a surprisingly La-Z-Boy-like comfort, making meals and laptop time genuinely relaxing.Waking up to the serene lake view and kayaking out to see the Huron Mountains reflecting on the water was a highlight we’ll never forget. The location is just secluded enough for peace and privacy but close enough to explore the area. We took advantage of the nearby waterfalls, great local hiking, and even played some pickleball at the nearby courts—you could also play tennis there if that’s your thing. The local ice cream shop and historic Thunder Bay Inn added a special small-town charm to our evenings.What made the experience extra special were the hosts. Paul and Gina were friendly, helpful, and full of great local tips. We really appreciated the waterfall guide and the chance to chat about their other unique rental properties.Between the natural beauty, the charming caboose, and the warmth of the hosts, this was easily one of our favorite getaways. Whether you’re looking to relax, paddle, hike, or just recharge, this is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be
