Spring Break

This is our second time staying here and again we did not want to leave. For our family of four this place is perfect and Heather is more than gracious as a host. Even checking in with us knowing we needed to travel after the ice storm that had recently come through. We recommend this place and area to everyone! Looking forward to our next stay here!!

Beautiful winter getaway

Touring frozen waterfalls was an absolute treat! The private backyard was great for our dogs to play and the adults to relax. The cabin is only a short drive from so many beautiful parks, we couldn’t even fit everything into our short stay. We will definitely be back! Thank you Heather!

SPECTACULAR SUNSETS!

Other than the shower needing a quick cleaning Soni could utilize the seat in it, and having to carry in 40lb bags of pellets (cause I'm a wimpy old-ish (50) woman ), I LOVED the sunsets!!!! ...and EVERYTHING else! about

Late Fall On Lake Michigan

This was our second year staying at this cabin. We really like the views on the lake and the sunsets. The pellet stove is an awesome touch. The cabin overall is very accommodating and has everything we need with all basic provisions and more.

Cozy pet-friendly cottage on Lake Michigan

We and our two dogs enjoyed our 5-day visit to this charming log-style cottage on the Lake Michigan shore. We woke up each morning to a beautiful view and the sunsets were spectacular. Our first few days were cool and rainy outside, but warm & cozy inside with the wood pellet fireplace. The cottage is updated with modern appliances and everything you need to do your own cooking. When we had a glitch with the internet due to a recent power outage, the owners, Patrick & Heather, were very helpful, first trouble-shooting by phone & then arranging for a technician to come the next day. We enjoyed visiting Indian Lake State Park, Kitch-Iti-Kipi Spring, Manistique Boardwalk & historic Nahma, all nearby. Overall, a great stay!

Just Okay

We arrived on a beautiful afternoon and the cleaning crew was running late so we decided to take our dogs down to the beach. Well, what was supposed to be 240 feet of beautiful sandy beaches was albeit beautiful but was anything but a beach. It was many months of grasses growing and mossy marsh leading out to hundreds of feet of shallow waters. While the rest of the property was over the top, this really ruined the entire trip for us. Never even went in the water. :((

Amazing Sunsets

This cabin was excellent for our family with three college age kids. They had plenty of room plus also enjoyed the large yard and camped outside a couple of nights. The pristine water and beach area was so relaxing. We enjoyed bonfires nightly as we watched the amazing sunsets. Then the moon shining over the water. We also saw the northern lights the first night. The weather was perfect we went Aug 10-16 no black flies. The home owner really thought of everything you would need in a kitchen and supplied paper products. Beds and pillows were outstanding and comfortable furniture. Very clean home. The water was clear and shallow with a sandy bottom. We drove north an hour to Munising for a boat tour of Pictures Rocks. Went to Fayette State Park that has a historic town was only 25 min away. Also, went to Kitch-iti-Kipi only 20 min away. Escanaba was only 45 min. So perfect. Location. We would definitely stay at this house again. We had a wonderful week.

Great Place to Stay!

I had a great week staying here with my boyfriend and our dog. The cottage is on the water and has beautiful views. I enjoyed sitting by the water and reading a book. So peaceful. The lake has a sandy bottom, and the sand bar goes out pretty far. We loved exploring the area and took trips to Pictured Rocks, Fayette State Park, Benny the Beard Fisher and Kitch-iti-kipi. The listing was very accurate. The cottage was very clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. I loved how the cottage was dog friendly! There were food bowls, a food mat and bags outside to pick up after your dog. We had a great time and would book again!

A s;ice of heaven in the UP!

My wife and rented the cottage for the 2nd year in a row – this time for 2 glorious weeks. The accommodations are excellent – kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The view and lake access are beautiful and great for wading and playing in the water. The sunsets are breathtaking! The Roomba, grill, and kayaks most excellent accessories. We look forward to another summer sojourn at the Sunset Beach Cottage!

Beach cottage on Big Bay de Noc

Beautiful location. The sunsets were breathtaking. The beds and other furniture were comfortable and clean. Loved that there was a Rumba. It made keeping the floors clean a lot easier. Nice, newer dishes and appliances. We have a couple concerns about this rental 1. The refrigerator was as full of un needed condiments. The door had been left slightly ajar and we thought it best to not keep them. 2.The dishwasher was not clean. The door had food stuck to it and mold along the top. 3.our biggest disappointment was the beach. All the photos we saw on the listing had a beautiful sandy beach. In reality the weeds were in abundance and it made it hard to actually get in the water. 4. The toilets were occasionally clogged and it was necessary to use the provided plunger to unclog them. Fortunately on Tuesday morning the septic tank company arrived and did their job and we had no more problems.
