There is a large deck off the dinning room with a gas grill, picnic table and plenty of seating. The comfortable living room has satellite TV with VCR/DVD player with over 200 movie titles available for your use. One of the upstairs bedrooms has two twin beds and the other has a queen size bed, both upstairs bedrooms have decks. There is also a full bath on the second floor.

Perfect for quiet stay for NMU graduation. Enjoyed exploring around Big Bay with our pups and loved watching Anatomy of a Murder on the big TV before we went for delicious lunch at the Lumberjack Tavern

Perfect gusts, the Chalet was left very neat and clean. They picked up after their pet and was hard to tell that their dog had even been in the house. We would welcome them back anytime.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Perfect, family friendly, pet friendly chalet. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts are wonderful, warm people who go the extra mile to make sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need. Enjoyed the nearby beaches and hiking to a few waterfalls. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Stay - anxious to return ! :)

Too much fun stuff to do in the Big Bay Area (hiking/fishing etc) in only a 10 day period. Hosts were totally excellent, friendly and informative. Very peaceful, we had some “rest and relax days” that were quiet, peaceful and rejuvenating. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here.

Great snowmobile cabin

This is a great place to stay for families. Plenty of beds and rooms. Plenty of parking for trailers and multiple vehicles. Snowmobile trail is right across the street. Feels like home. We had everything we needed. Thanks for letting us stay a second time now.

Winter break

We had a nice week at the Sawmill Chalet. It's just 3 miles to Big Bay with dining at the lumberjack bar and Thunder Bay restaurant. We also hiked in the McCormick wilderness to a couple waterfalls and along the yellow dog river. Not a lot of snow for January but was still enjoyable. The chalet was very comfortable and worked out perfect for us.

U.P. vacation

It was great! The chalet is clean & spacious. Plenty of room for the six of us. Property is ample with a large deck. We had a pet and there was plenty of room to run. Really enjoyed having bonfires. Mike and Judi are wonderful hosts-very kind and helpful about inquiries to the area. Would go back again.

Comfy UP cabin

Pictures didn’t do this cabin justice. House is fully stocked with plenty of space for my family of 5. Enough parking for a few trucks and trailers with plenty of room still. Snowmobile trail right across the street. We almost stayed an extra week because we enjoyed our time so much. We hope to return again next year since it’s already booked up for the remainder of this season. Thanks for letting us stay!

Perfecr Getaway at Sawmill Chalet

We recently stayed at Sawmill Chalet and it was an absolute gem. From the moment we booked Mike and Judie made us feel so welcome. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. It is rare to find owners who are not only helpful but also genuinely kind and eager to share local tips.The Chalet itself is cozy and spotless and perfectly situated. If you enjoy side by side riding you could not ask for a better home base because trails are easy to access in every direction. It is also great for sightseeing whether you are exploring the surrounding woods finding hidden gems or just soaking in the beauty of nature. The best part is that there is a beautiful beach nearby which is perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.We could not have asked for a better stay. Thank you Mike and Judie for sharing your wonderful Chalet with us. We cannot wait to come back!

Family Lake Vacation

We had an amazing time. All the best parts of the UP were really accessible but we were alone and in the quiet when we came back. And, we had plenty of space for the whole family.
