Wonderful beach front home on our favorite of the Great Lakes, Superior. Great place for rest and relaxation. Deborah and Steve were wonderful hosts always concerned about how things are during our stay. Could not have asked for a better place. Looking forward to our return
SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS. What else can I say. The owners are just great hosts. Everything you might need is there. Very clean, spacious and most perfect views. Should you want a place to relax to the Max, this is the place. This home has the WOW Factor. Can you tell WE loved it? And when you get there, say hi to WALLY. Enjoy.
There are so many positives about this beautiful home & Deb the owner, I don’t know where to start!! 6 siblings with 4 significant others had lots of space. House spotlessly clean & well stocked, the decks & beach were awesome! Many campfires on the beach & we all swam in chilly but beautiful Lake Superior! Deb was beyond attentive & guided us with great suggestions… our family bucket list trip was one we will always treasure. Thank you Deb! I so hope we can return one day! If you are looking for a great getaway close to Marquette, stay here!
The view of Lake Superior from the deck, the wooden chair seating area, and the sandy beach offer different perspectives of the Big lake: all lovely and relaxing. The home has everything you need. You can watch tv if for some reason you get sick of the lake. There are two places to eat in Big Bay, and Marquette is only 30 minutes away and offers breweries and restaurants. Many hiking opportunities and water falls are a short drive from the property, and the host reached out several times to make sure there were no issues. I witnessed 5 unique sunsets of hazy orange, bright red, cloudy nothing, crimson red, and a rainy pink explosion of lightning and thunder. 5 star stay. I would do it again.
3rd year staying here. We love Big Bay and love this home. Super clean. Lots of nice extra touches. Gift basket, fresh baked goods waiting for us, we’ll stocked kitchen, lots of games and a breathtaking beach!
This spacious house was perfect for our Big Bay vacation! Obviously the star of the show is the private, sandy beach on Lake Superior - we relaxed to the sound of the waves on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful views of both sunrises and sunsets. We also enjoyed the many amenities. Indoors - a well stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms (one with heated floors!), AC units, laundry, and games for family time. Outdoors - several sitting areas, fire pit, sauna, and kayaks. The hosts were amazing - very friendly and ready to answer any questions, both before and during our stay. Already have our week booked for next year!
Phenomenal property and host. Great experience for our whole family. Thank you.
The home and the host were amazing! The host was very helpful in providing recommendations locally. The home was beautiful right on the lake. The only problem i had was the week i went it was very cold for the area in June.
This property and owner are perfect if you want to enjoy some time on the shores of this planet’s greatest lake. Kitchen facilities have everything you need and they have both a gas and “green egg” style grill. Seriously: kayaks, outdoor sauna, beautiful beach, porches, chairs, perfect lake view with sunrise and sunset, great WiFi (and Verizon signal) right in the middle of spectacular Big Bay. And these owners know how to accommodate their guests…even with treats that go beyond what is expected. Close to the small town of Big Bay and just a little more than a half hour to the outskirts of Marquette.
The only negative was getting the snowmobiles to the trails, had to trailer to the trails. The host is amazing and so is the home.
Absolutely loved our stay. The place and view was perfect. Beds are comfortable! Hospitality at its finest! One of the best VRBO places we have stayed.
Beautiful lakefront home. Owners were very kind and helpful. Everything you want for a vacation home on the beach.
Great location, nice house, lots of activities to do at the house and around the area. A great place to visit in the summer!
I guess that we really like this place because it's our third time back. The house is laid out perfectly with multiple quiet spots when we need a break from each other. The scenic view from the back porch is very relaxing. And the addition of the AC in the large common area and bedroom was an unexpected benefit on the hot days. As always the snacks were well appreciated! And ease of using the kayaks was a much better experience versus other places.
We continue to come back to this gem because it is just that! The owners are warm and welcoming answering any questions we may have. Weather you enjoy beautiful hikes, biking or just relaxing you have the ability to do it all. It really is the perfect UP experience.
This is an A+++ property. We loved it so much last year we booked it right away for this year's vacation. Quiet private beach. Beautiful home. Lots of sleeping quarters. Washer/Dryer big plus - and air condition that isn't usually needed in northern MI but we were glad we had it 1 day. You can't help but have a wonderful trip here.
We loved this place. It was everything you could ask for in a vacation home. A beautiful home and a beautiful location. We felt the attention and effort that the host made to make sure we had the best stay from the homemade dessert in the refrigerator, a basket of snacks and an immaculate luxurious home. We definitely hope to return.
This property is everything described and much more. Peace, serenity and God’s majesty at its finest. Pictures do not give it justice. The owner includes the smallest details to ensure a pleasant stay and are attentive to any need if required. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. It is a hidden gem!!
From the time we booked this property until we drove out of the driveway on our last day, everything was just perfect. Pictures really don't do complete justice to how nice of a home this family shares with us. I believe this is the first time in years I didn't take photos on vacation. I guess I was enjoying my surroundings too much! Big Bay is like watching a new movie every single day. It changes quickly with the weather and became more awe inspiring as the week went on. Had a bonfire on the beach - at sunset - our last night and it will always be one of my favorite memories in life. A neighbor's sweet pup even came by with his ball and got me to play catch for a while. To understand how perfectly detailed Deb and Steve are, I must have mentioned my husbands birthday in the comments when we booked - so Deb and Steve even had a birthday cake in the refrigerator for my him when we arrived! My husband looked at me and said you told her Carrot Cake is my FAVORITE? I said OMG ~ I didn't even know that you liked Carrot Cake! This place sets the bar pretty high in our book. Thank you for sharing your home, and for the wonderful memories.
This house has absolutely everything you could want in a vacation home and more. It comfortably fit my 8 children, my spouse, and myself. There are a ton of board games to play on rainy days. The internet connection was good enough to allow us to talk to South Korea. We took advantage of their 3 kayaks and life vests and kayaked in the perfectly clear Lake Superior. The kitchen is fully stocked with not just pots and pans and dishes, but also spices. It was perfect.
