Friendly, responsive host with no- nonsense check in and check out. Cabin was a little musty being near the water as is to be expected but was outfitted with a great air purifyer and a wonderful breeze off of the lake. It was so tastefully and thoughtfully decorated, with lots of games, working fireplace, 2 firepits, cornhole, hammock, a deck, swingset and a generously sized back porch with a view of the water. Comfortable beds and couch. Front stairs to get in would be a challenge for someone with mobility issues, and stairs to second floor. Water shallow, kids 10, 10,13 c swim out quite a distance. Shallow enough for younger children also. A good 40 min drive to a big grocery store but that is what we are used to at home too and were expecting it but make sure to load up in Marquette if you're coming from that direction. Cabin was well appointed with cookware, etc (we brought our own crock pot). Big Bay is small but has a small store for milk, cheese, etc if you forget something. Nice ice cream shop and listened to live music and had pizza at Lumberjack Tavern. Loads of places to hike within a 30 - 40 min drive in any direction. If you are looking for a place to relax in the northwoods by the water away from places packed with tourists, this is IT. We would rebook again 100%.According to my kids their only disappointment was that there were no Sasquatch sightings, yet all three of them told me it was still their favorite place theyve ever stayed so wasn'ta deal breaker!
