The Best Stay in Big Bay
This was simply the perfect place for us to stay! Clean & comfortable. With a bad back, I appreciated the comfortable bed. Everything we could need was provided, especially a well-stocked kitchen. Quiet, secluded neighborhood. The Host was responsive to our needs and questions. We enjoyed the Big Bay/Marquette area so much that we added an extra day. We really can't think of enough good things to say about this property, we highly recommend it!

Cute & very clean little house
Stayed here when visiting our son in Marquette & to do some hiking in the Big Bay Area. Older but very clean & nice updates to this cute little house! Host left many extras if you needed them like toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, & bug spray. Did not use kitchen really but looked to be well stocked for cooking. Location is great as is close to store & the couple places to eat like The Lumberjack Tavern. Also near Yellow Dog Falls trail & Thomas Rock scenic lookout. Communication was great with host.

This property was exactly as advertised. It was super clean and had lots of extra touches, my husband especially like the candy bowl. In addition to the candy bowl there was a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of bathroom towels and the beds were firm and super comfy. Highly recommend!

Weeklong Getaway in the Big Bay
Overall we had an enjoyable stay. The home was immaculately clean and well kept and the beds were very comfortable. The only issue we had was the loose cold water knob in the shower but it was not unusable, just made adjusting the water temperature difficult. We would stay here again if planning to see Marquette or hiking in the surrounding area.

The perfect house for a UP vacation!
This little house was perfect for our vacation. Everything was as we'd hoped it would be. The full kitchen is well stocked, making meals as easy as could be. The washer and dryer, extra supplies, air conditioning, and wifi were all very appreciated. Beds were comfortable, smart TV whandy, and check in was a breeze. We will definitely stay again, next time we're in the area.

This house is well taken care of and offers so much. Great location, with a large yard and privacy. Easy walk to ice cream parlor, restaurants, and playgrounds. The house offers fantastic amenities - washer/dryer, AC, and well stocked kitchen. This is by far one of the best VRBO rentals we have been to. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!! You won’t be disappointed.

Nice Home base for nearby Attractions
We had a lovely stay. Nearby hikes to waterfalls, trip to the local ice cream shop and a fish fry at the Thunderbird. Kitchen was well stocked for our needs. There was a minor issue with the door but the host was quick to respond. We appreciated the wifi on the rainy day we were able to stream onto the big screen. Thanks

This was my second trip staying at this home. The host is very responsive and pleasant to work with. The home is clean, cozy and is stocked with small amenities such as spices, antibiotic ointment, bug spray and recreation maps of the area. I visit Big Bay multiple times a year this is now the first place I check for availability!

Great weekend in Big Bay
We had a great weekend with family in the area. The location of the house was ideal, it’s in town but has a wooded rural setting. The town walking trails are a short walk from the house and it was fun just walking around town checking out the local history. We also found some deals at the church bazaar in town. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean.

Wonderful place to stay and to see the Northern Lights!
This property was perfect for our company of three. It was well furnished with comfortable beds, sofa, and chairs. We really appreciated the washer and dryer since we had been on the road for several days. The roads to Marquette were excellent because shopped and ate there several times. Highly recommend it in part because we all had the Northern Lights on our Bucket Lists and went out in the cornfield across the street and saw a beautiful display around 11pm.

Great fall getaway in Big Bay
We loved our stay in Big Bay- the house was clean, in a good location, and was exactly as listed. This property is close to so many hiking trails and places to explore. We really appreciated the small touches in the house- brochures and info about the surrounding area, books about northern Michigan, and a kitchen well-equipped to cook in. We hope to stay there again sometime in the future!
