About this property

Your Big Bay Get Away

Make yourself at home in this spacious, secluded and newly renovated two-story colonial with a cook's kitchen (including all new appliances), three season porch, fireplace, washer/dryer, internet access, fenced yard, outdoor pizza oven, fire pit, outdoor shower and more. Breathtaking views of Lake Superior, which is only steps away, can be seen from nearly every room in the house. The living room is the perfect gathering place with a satellite TV and cozy gas fireplace. The master California King bedroom with a private bath and extra closet space is located on the first floor off the living room. Upstairs are three more bedrooms (another king size with its own balcony, a queen size with a sitting room, and a kids room with a full size bed, bunkbeds and play area), along with a second full bathroom. The first floor office features an adjustable desk and also serves as the fifth bedroom with a queen size futon. The three season porch and open deck with grill are perfect for outdoor meals or evenings spent stargazing. Enjoy hours of fun on the private beach, with miles of pure sand to the west and shores of rocky treasures to the east. You'll be only a mile from historic, quaint Big Bay with public boat access to Lake Independence, or a short drive to Thomas Rock Overlook, Alder Falls or endless hiking and bike trails to choose from. Conveniently located only 40 minutes from Marquette and one hour from Sawyer International Airport. This beautiful home is the perfect location to spend your summer vacation enjoying the best of Lake Superior living while making lifelong memories with friends and family. Please note the VRBO location is not exact, please check on Google Maps for specific location (one mile west of Big Bay Lighthouse and two miles east of Big Bay Harbor and marina).

Host profile image
We're both from Southwest Michigan and have spent nearly every summer vacation over the last 30 years with our kids in the UP. We finally bought our Lake Superior dream home in 2020 right on Big Bay and look forward to sharing it with you and your family during the times we can't be there.
