About this property

Stunning Views From Beautiful Log Home On The Shore Of Lake Superior.

Walk through the door of this recently built log home and you immediately feel the warmth of the cedar logs and hardwood floors that surround you. Enter further, and you’ll utter the exact word that nearly every single person that came before you: WOW! It’s the 2 story, floor to ceiling windows, filled with a stunning view of Lake Superior a mere 60 feet away that causes this involuntary response. The undeniable sights, sounds, and smells of the environs of Lake Superior have taken over. It is now that you realize your journey has ended and your vacation has begun.

To take advantage of this spectacular view, you’ll enjoy it from a very open living space with vaulted ceilings. The dining room and living room are centered on a natural stone fireplace. You’ll move around the space as you prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, enjoy eating at the 6-seat dining room table, and then move into the relaxing living room for an evening of a crackling fire, good conversation, reading, darts... or whatever suits the mood.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, the downstairs bedroom sleeps 2 in a double bed while the master suite/loft includes a queen bed and very comfortable double air-mattress. As you awake from your lofted slumber in the master suite, you’re once again face-to-face with beauty of Lake Superior.

There’s no doubt you’ll be drawn to explore all the area has to offer. From fishing and hiking to snowshoeing and cross country skiing… If it’s the pristine outdoors you seek, step outside and you’re there. Just be sure you’re back in time to enjoy the most amazing lakeside sunsets and cozy bonfires.

This very special home is conveniently located just 3 miles from the community of Big Bay. There you’ll find most everything you need to make your stay complete including an outdoor outfitter with kayak rentals, general/mini-grocery store, a cafe and restaurants. About 25 miles further down the road you’ll find the charming yet progressive town of Marquette. You’ll definitely want to spend a day exploring the variety of shops, restaurants and lakeside parks that make this town one of the most livable and friendly cities you’ll visit.

Great Relaxing Week in the Upper Peninsula

We had a wonderful week in a wonderful cabin. Enjoyed beautiful fall colors along our daily walks right outside our cabin door. Weather was a nice bonus with temperatures at least 70 degrees for the first four days, then more seasonal temps. Enjoyed hiking at Presque Isle park and exploring some of the surrounding areas. Had mostly home cooked meals but also went to the Lumberjack Bar and Thunder Bay Inn in Big Bay, both of which were very good. Dave’s cabin is, by far, the most well stocked cabin we have been in. Appreciated the supplies of paper goods and kitchen utensils. Loved the cabin itself, used the fireplace a few times, enjoyed the deck and outdoor grill and of course the great views. We spent a lot of time just hanging out at the cabin and it was wonderful! There is a very nice loft bedroom area but we were not fans of the staircase leading up to it. We chose to stay in the first floor bedroom which was perfectly nice and comfortable and more convenient to the one bathroom which is on the first floor. The furniture was all fine but felt maybe it was time for a different sofa, a little saggy to sit in. Overall, we couldn’t have been happier with this cabin and would definitely come back again!! Thanks Dave for making your cabin available for us to enjoy!

Relaxation at Big Bay

Staying on the shore of Lake Superior was an awesome experience. We were able to just sit and watch the waves roll in or on a calm day, we went kayaking. There are lots of hiking trails within a short drive towards Marquette too. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet. A great place to go for some relaxation!

Beautiful cabin on the lake.

The cabin is beautiful and located perfectly right on the lake. I've been to Big Bay many times and this place definitely rated among my favorites. I stayed here with my sister for a little famly retreat but would accommodate a larger group and also be a wonderful romantic getaway with a loved one as well.

Great Accommodations

The house was just as advertised. Beautiful home and very worthy of the 5 stars. The interior of the house was very clean and the views were spectacular. The area surrounding the house was perfect for our morning walks. The home is situated close to beaches and some beautiful waterfalls. A great week was had by my wife and I.

This Cabin is a Gem!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dave's cabin. While the cabin was clean and comfortable - the best aspect was the location. It sits right on Big Bay, which is a little bay. I started every morning in a camp chair on the edge of the yard just above the shoreline. It's an ideal place to read, journal, and be still still. We were there for one week, and we watched all but one sunset from Dave's place or on the water with his kayaks. We saw the other sunset from Little Presque Isle Recreation Center. FYI this is a beautiful sandy beach with sand dunes and a pine forest backdrop. Dave's place was a perfect hub for our daily hiking. I'd like to say Dave gave a quick response to our needs, but we didn't need anything! He had everything perfectly prepared. We were there July 6-13. We had one day with bad flies by the water. After a light rain, they left. The screened in porch was a perfect place for coffee during the morning rain. We would definitely return to this cabin. Thanks Dave!

Perfect Get Away

This is a wonderful cabin in the best location ever. Check in was smooth and easy and the cabin itself is amazing. Well stocked, clean, and wonderful location right on Lake Superior. Wood burning fireplace, sun room and great deck overlooking the lake. Will definitely return.

Our week in between Christmas and New Year’s was great!

The property was just as described. The only down side is no washer or dryer. That’s the only downside…. Everything else was amazing. Thanks Dave!

Nice Cabin and Property

The outside lake views are great. Was visiting the area for fall colors. The sound of the large October waves made great sleeping. Quiet area around the cabin, lots of deer nearby. The beds were comfortable. The cabin was clean. Plenty of space in the kitchen. Everything was great. A few end of season maintenance recommendations: The bathroom door needs readjustment, hard to close. The stairway to the loft has a guard rail but really needs a standard grip handrail for safety. Other than that no negatives.

Spacious log cabin right on the water

Clean and neat with all sorts of thoughtful items like kayaks, firewood, lighters, and nice linens. Our only negative is the flukey weather was an unusual 95 degrees and there was no functioning cooling system. Once the temp dropped into the 50s it was perfect.

Just Fab

We love this place! View and access to the lake are amazing. It’s quiet and you hear waves and lake breeze. BBQ, fire pit, watching stars. Kitchen had lots of pots and pans and practical for simple meal prep. The road is good for jogging and walking. The upstairs balcony is open, so there’s not loads of privacy but our kids worked remotely using the wifi. We loved the lighthouse tour Sunday afternoon. For those of us not working we were outside all day and enjoyed the cosy, clean camp at night. It was a great week.

Beautiful retreat

A great place - so peaceful, only short drives to loads of hikes and just a 30min drive to Marquette for anything you might want/need.House is lovely and comfortable: kitchen had the equipment we needed to make all our meals in, comfortable beds (with amazing view from those in the loft), gas grill, and a wonderful 3-season porch. We spent a lot of time just sitting and watching and listening to the lake from the living room, the porch and deck. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back!

Anniversary getaway

We had a wonderful week together at the cabin, enjoying outings to go hiking, and kayaking with the provided kayaks on Lake Superior. The screened room was really a nice way to sit and relax without mosquitos. I can’t remember if the listing specified this, but there is one main level bedroom, and an upstairs loft room with two beds to sleep four in that loft area, 6 total. We cooked for ourselves (Walmart pickup 45 min away in Marquette) and found the kitchen well stocked and a good home base. The deck view is beautiful and the area is peaceful. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets every night!

Amazing Cabin

From the moment we walked in, we knew that we would love it here. The cabin has a well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the wonderful sunsets and the quietness of the woods and wildlife. Every day was an adventure. We hiked Sugarloaf Mountain, Thomas Rock Overlook, Yellow Dog Falls, Hog Back Mountain, on a rainy day we walked NMU's Wooden Dome, Pinnacle Falls and even drove to the McCormick Wilderness. The people of Big Bay are so friendly. There is still more to see in Big Bay. We would like to be able to come back in the wintertime to enjoy the many trails in Big Bay. Dave, thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin! We shall return! Patty & Martin

Peace and quiet!

My wife and I have rented this property every year for the past 6 years. And will continue to do so. We come here to Simply decompress. And get some needed peace and quiet from this insane world we live in. We have never been disappointed in any way by coming here. Can't wait until the next time.
