Awesome Lake Superior Vacation Home With Sand Beach

The stars are bright in Big Bay. The night is dark, really dark. The deck is a perfect spot for viewing them and for daytime lake views. The accommodations were perfect for our group of five. The kitchen is lovely with everything one needs for their stay. Our friends and family members enjoyed this lovely home very much. It was clean, spacious and inviting.

The beach is very sandy and shallow for a long way out. The water is clear and clean.

We didn't swim, but watched a young boy try snorkeling in the shallows. We'd recommend these accommodations to anyone. Perfect for a family vacation with all the sightseeing opportunities, hiking trails and parks nearby.

We have rented numerous homes in the UP over the last thirty years and typically while nice and yes, equipped, there has always been something we'd been mislead on. But this home is probably the best equipped and cleanest home we have stayed in since we began renting homes for vacation! You will positively not be disappointed and in fact, delighted, with this rental. We are ATV'ers and only wish this area had more to offer from that avenue but regardless for rest and relaxation I've no doubt we will return. Claudia is a wonderful hostess/owner and was there when we had a question and even double-checked that our arrival went well and all was well within the house. Very pleased and a wonderful experience and one that we hope to return to someday!

We spent a week at this home with our adult children a small grandchildren and had a wonderful time. The house is very nicely updated and comfortable. It was also nicely equipped. There was plenty of everything in the kitchen to do some cooking, enough towels for all of us, the bedrooms were very comfortable and the master bathroom is gorgeous. We were very happy with the surroundings outside as well. It sits on a beautiful sandy beach where we didn't even see another person all week. We felt like we were on our own private beach! There were plenty of chairs to use outdoors and a couple of kayaks that we had fun with on the lake. This made for a couple of really nice beach days. We also hiked in the area and spent some time in Marquette which was about 35 to 40 minutes away. The grocery store in Big Bay is small and expensive, so it is necessary to drive to Marquette for groceries, but that is pretty typical of a small town. We spent the evenings sitting around the fire pit overlooking the beach and Lake Superior watching the sun go down. It is a beautiful and relaxing spot with a very nice home. I would recommend this rental to anyone visiting this area.

Beautiful home on a fantastic sand beach overlooking Lake Superior. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, well maintained, clean home than this. We intend to come back next year for a longer stay. Highly highly recommend!

Our family has been vacationing in the UP for years and without a doubt, Mark and Claudia's home, combined with their excellent service as hosts makes this the best place we've ever stayed!

From the moment we booked, they were very responsive to our questions and went above and beyond in taking care of every request and detail. All the pictures displayed in the listing are true to form - the beach is just steps away from the deck. The fire pit is located just above the beach providing many different options to enjoy the lake. From sunrise to sundown, the views from the big windows in the living room are breathtaking.

The kitchen is amazing - all the little things you need to cook your own meals - top end appliances and enough seating for our entire family of 13 (including a three year old and one-year-old twins). The bedrooms are spacious and provide a few different options to accommodate a large family or group.

This home has some surprises - a fully functional sauna, a gas fireplace, three bathrooms with a rain head shower in the master bath. There are even Kayaks available.

The location within Big Bay is perfect (right in the middle) and the beach is expansive and pretty secluded - offering the opportunity to enjoy for long walks or sun drenched afternoons.

Typically we head out to neighboring towns for dining, etc., but this place was so incredible we never even considered leaving. If you do want to get out for a meal, the Lumberjack Tavern and Thunder Bay Inn are great options.

You'll see many places claiming one ting or another that never quite live up to your expectations. That's definitely not the case with Mark and Claudia's home . . we are already looking forward to 2019!
