Large home located on the shores of Lake Superior and Big Bay Harbor of Refuge

Wonderful location with great views of Lake Superior. Enjoyed sitting by the fire pit listening to the waves, Walking on the beach and kayaking. Large well stocked kitchen for gathering and making meals. House was spotless.

You won’t need your sleep machine!The wind and waves provide an ultra-relaxing sleep environment. Open the windows.Despite the abysmal weather, we had a great time at this beautiful abode. But first the negatives! The trees need pruning. The relaxing view of the protected harbor could be much improved: as well the kitchen window could provide a better view of the activity of the boats/yachts docked. AND there is no cheese shredder! Sheesh! Course I coulda missed it… there are over 40 doors and drawers in the kitchen!Our invited guests did not show – life issues- so 2/3 floors went unused. You could have several families here and never hafta talk to them.The beach(s) are perfect. There are no weeds and no rocks, just sand as far as you can go (and beyond). Lake Superior is not bath water, the UP locals know this: it’s refreshing. If from, Florida try to stay in the top ¼ inch of water (but then there’s no salt or sharks!)There’s plenty to see in this remote and quiet location, CRAMS store/gas station/driving range… waterfalls (not sedan ready) lookouts, fall colors, lakes and streams – but never did I see Jimmy Stewart.Finally, the host(es) goes the extra mile (3 miles one way on her bicycle) to accommodate your needs. She’s a long time resident and knows the area well. A better host you will not encounter.

This home is well appointed, comfortable and a perfect lake location. It's large enough for a gathering of family members. Charter fishing on Lake Superior is nearby. Mary Pat is an attentive hostess. This was our third visit and it was (as always) a delight.

Beautiful location! Very quiet. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The house is very spacious and clean. The kitchen is well-appointed and had pretty much everything we needed for cooking a week's worth of meals. We really appreciated the use of the garage.

Perfect for a larger family, mostly handicapped equipped, which saved my vacation. Choice of two sandy beaches, minutes from Big Bay, and a bit further is Marquette. My kinda camping. Thanks Mary Pat everything was perfect.

House was great, but the location was even better. Beautiful sunrises can be seen everyday, very quiet and nice private beach. Would stay here again for certain

We rented this charming log dwelling to enjoy a week with family and get together with local friends. Lake Superior never fails to delight and it's always good fun visiting Marquette.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn't have been happier with the house, amenities, and location. The property was impeccably maintained and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners were fantastic at communicating, ensuring we had all the information we needed before and during our visit. We highly recommend this home!

My son was getting married up in Big Bay so since we enjoyed this Beautiful place last year we decided to reserve it again. The weather wasn't as nice but we still enjoyed the beach area. She has many games upstairs to play but we did buy a puzzle and put that together. If you want a beautiful place to stay for all ages...This is a must Stay!! Lots of rooms/bed, huge kitchen, 2 full bathrooms and a 3/4 upstairs. Getting to the beach is very accessible for which I need because I have an adult (child) that has a small form of cerebral palsy and he can make it down there...so It works out Perfect.

Just like the last time we stayed, it was a great place. Mary Pat is very accommodating and a great host. Look forward to staying again in the future.
