Awesome Lake Superior Vacation Home With Sand Beach

This home has more than enough space for many people. Only two of us occupied this home, but 8-10 can fit comfortably. Big Bay has 2 bars/restaurants that serve food, and there's also a gas station/convenient store. Marquette is 25 miles away (35 minute car ride) and there are fine restaurants, breweries, and bars. Great hiking and mountain biking in the area. The week we were there was cool breezes off of the lake which kept the bugs away. The week before I was told it was in the 90s. When I left, it looked like it was going to be 5 straight days of sun and upper 70's.

We spent 4 days over the 4th of July and loved the stay. Plenty of room for the 10 of us and able to drive to some amazing waterfalls and beaches. Lovely setting and lots of space for hanging out each night.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in Big Bay! The house was very spacious and had everything we needed for all ages (2-80). We appreciated Claudia being available for quick questions as we got settled as well. Our children loved playing on the beach each day, and taking walks along it each morning. I hope we can return in the future and would definitely recommend this property to anyone in the future.

My wife and I stayed over the holidays with our dog. The house is very nice with a great view of the lake. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return one day!

While this house is beautiful and the beach is absolutely awesome, the owners are absolutely horrendous! The owners built a beautiful home for themselves but, decided to rent it without the slightest thought for the comfort of their guests, furnishing it as if it were an old cabin. The furniture in each living room consists of a very old, dirty and stinky couch. Both were too disgusting to sit on without covering them with a blanket. They boasted of a jacuzzi tub in the master bath but, the plug was broken so it was unusable. They made a really big deal about the sauna but, the door was broken so, we were unable to use it as the steam escaped. They requested that we rinse the sand off of our feet before entering the home but, the faucet leaked so badly that we couldn't leave it on with a sprayer and the handle was broken requiring pliers (which we had to borrow from the broken air conditioner) to turn it off and on. The home is advertised for sleeping up to 12 yet, we only found 5 small, thin towels and a few washcloths. I bought sponges from the local store so we could use the dish cloths as wash cloths. The bed my son used was broken and he had to pop the headboard back in place over and over. The pots and pans were barely usable. There was only one frying pan that you could actually cook with, the rest were like a child's toy, making cooking for our large group very difficult. Also the glass stove top was filthy with rings of crud around each burner. Upon our arrival, we were informed that we would have to remove the trash and there was no wood for campfires. Overall, this rental was portrayed as a high end property with lots of amenities but we did not get the quality that we expected for the price we paid. The entire home needs a very deep cleaning and the owners need to make repairs and upgrade their furnishings with the comfort of their guests in mind. To top it all off, the owners accused us of damage that we did not do. The accusations were over the top. Most of them were petty; for example, sand on the stairs, VCR cords messy, and microwave dirty even though we paid a cleaning fee. The most serious accusation was that we scratched their new floor. It did get scratched while we were there because the feet of the chairs were not properly protected. As soon as I realized one of the chairs was scratching the floor, I removed it. They filed and claim on the insurance they required us to purchase and still refused to refund our deposit.
