It was a great place for our family of 5 and pet to spend the week. We enjoyed the nearby beaches, fishing on the lake, and the proximity to other things nearby. The cottage was a little outdated, but everything was clean. Communication with host was excellent.

Most everything is not accurate with the pictures and descriptions on VRBO. It says private beach. There is no beach! It’s all reeds and debris piled up on shore! The deck has several large holes in it. The view of Little Bay Da Noc is blocked by all the under growth. I believe there are 10 windows downstairs of which only 3 open. The fire pit was full which I had to clean out myself. The walkway down to the beach (which doesn’t exist) is very treacherous especially if you have problems walking (had to rake away everything to see where we were walking). The cabin is what you expect from an older cabin.

Loved the property! Stacie was an excellent host and the views from the back deck were excellent! Watching the long summer solstice sunset from there was wonderful. Property was clean and well furnished. Thank you!!!

About the host

Hosted by Stacie Carter

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Stacie, and I'm so glad you're considering one of our Upper Peninsula vacation homes for your getaway.

My family and I are passionate about sharing everything we love about the UP—from peaceful lake mornings and campfires under the stars to fishing, boating, ATV adventures, and exploring the small towns that make this area so special.

As a vacation rental host, my goal is simple: provide clean, comfortable, welcoming places where families and friends can relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories. We take pride in being responsive, honest, and available if you need us, while also giving you the privacy to enjoy your vacation.

Whether it's your first visit to the Upper Peninsula or your fiftieth, we're happy to recommend our favorite restaurants, attractions, beaches, hiking trails, fishing spots, and hidden gems to help you experience the area like a local.

We truly appreciate every guest who chooses to stay with us and look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful Upper Peninsula!

What makes this property unique

What makes Little Bay Lodge unique is its authentic Upper Peninsula character. This isn't a brand-new, modern vacation home—it's a classic lake lodge with history, warmth, and the kind of cozy charm that invites you to slow down and enjoy life's simple moments.

Tucked among the towering pines on beautiful Little Bay de Noc, the lodge offers a peaceful wooded setting with private lake access, giving you the best of both worlds—privacy in the forest and the beauty of the water just a short walk away.

One of our favorite features is the cozy stone fireplace, which makes the lodge feel welcoming year-round. Whether you're returning from a day of fishing, boating, ATV riding, snowmobiling, or simply exploring the Upper Peninsula, it's the perfect place to gather with family and friends.

Little Bay Lodge is also an excellent home base for outdoor adventure. You're close to world-class fishing, boat launches, ATV and snowmobile trails, hiking, and many of the Upper Peninsula's most popular attractions, yet when you return, you'll feel like you've escaped to your own quiet retreat.

Above all, what makes Little Bay Lodge special is the feeling it creates. It's a place where mornings begin with coffee among the pines, afternoons are spent making memories on the water, and evenings end around the campfire or fireplace sharing stories from the day. If you're looking for a genuine Up North experience filled with character, comfort, and unforgettable moments, Little Bay Lodge is the perfect place to call home during your stay.
