About this property

Sunny Shag Lake Retreat and Snowmobiling Lodge

Look no further and book this amazing lakeside retreat or winter wonderland. Our cottage is located on Big Shag Lake in Gwinn, Mi.
Big Shag Lake is a natural fed 200 acre all sports lake with public access. It’s great for fishing, boating, kayaking and swimming. In the winter months you can access snowmobile trails throughout the Upper Peninsula. We have an amazing circle drive for your trailer convenience. During the summer water temperature is an average 75 degree.
The cottage is a 2,200 sq ft ranch with 4 ft. hallways, large bedrooms and an open living, dining and kitchen area. In the kitchen you’ll find beautiful cherry cabinets, granite counters, dishwasher, microwave, commercial range and a cherry breakfast bar 7 ft. long! You are sure to fall in love with the cozy gas fireplace, the vaulted ceilings and wall of windows facing the lake! We have hardwood pine floors throughout and central AC to keep you comfortable! The master bath has a tiled walk in shower and walk in closet. You can have nightly fires on the outside 40’ patio with built in fire pit or a more casual fire down by the beach.
Our family retreat is fully furnished with linens, towels, kitchenware, cooking spices, water toys, 3 kayaks, canoe, paddle board, bean bag toss, pontoon boat (extra daily charge) and cards/board games for all!
Our beautiful cottage is located less than 30 min. from Marquette, Northern Michigan University , Lake Superior, Greywall's Golf Course and Marquette Mountain Ski Area. The other popular attractions just a few hours away are Tahquamenon Falls, Oswald's Bear Ranch, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Seney Wildlife Refuge, Porcupine Mountain State Park, Grand Marquis Sand Dunes, Isle Royale and Mackinac Island! Marquette county has become a destination for mountain biking, golf at Greywalls and cross country skiing.
Our lake house is an ideal location for doing all things golf at the closest course Red Fox Run Golf at just 15 min away, sightseeing in Marquette, hiking, boating, biking or just fishing right off our dock or take the kayak out! If you stay with us in the winter you can ice fish, go downhill skiing at Marquette Mountain Ski Resort (25 Min. away), cross country ski ( 20 min. away), snowmobile out your door to all the trails or attend a winter event like the UP 200 Sled Dog race in February.
So stay with us and have the best home away from home! Enjoy all of what the Upper Peninsula has to offer!!
