Big Bay House | Relaxing Sandy Beach Retreat on Lake Superior

3 Bedroom House in Big Bay

The most difficult decision you might have to make during your stay is where to sit and drink your morning coffee. No matter where you settle, there’s plenty to take in as this spacious log cabin house sits on the small peninsula looking out on Lake Superior and Big Bay Harbor. The lakeshore frontage has a private sandy beach just steps from your back door with a magnificent view of Lake Superior, while the sights of the marina can be enjoyed from the front yard.
You might contemplate breakfast in Marquette, only 40 minutes away, a university town with plenty of attractions, food and pubs. We recommend checking out Donckers. How many places do you know of that are a Chocolatier downstairs and a breakfast nook upstairs?!
Mapping out the rest of your day might involve grabbing some essentials to make a sack lunch at Cram’s, just down the road in Big Bay, to afford you the flexibility to be a little adventuresome. Perhaps some hiking is in order. Thomas Rock scenic overlook and the Sugar Loaf Mountain Observation Decks are two splendid destinations for such, both within 30 minutes of the cabin. Alternatively, the water might call to you, and a kayak trip around the Pictured Rocks or some fishing is what you desire.
It’s true that dinner and evening plans create another set of decisions, but there are plenty of excellent choices: fix a meal in the spacious, well-supplied kitchen and play games in the rec room, or throw some firewood into the firepit and enjoy the evening outdoors with the sound of the waves accompanying your conversations? Feel like eating out? It’s less than five minutes to Thunder Bay Inn, where Anatomy of a Murder was filmed, for great meals and drinks. Or if you feel like connecting to the rest of the world, how about spending the evening enjoying satellite TV or fiber optic internet access with the view of the lake in the background?
When it’s time for retiring, you’ll find plenty of accommodations – will it be a comfortable bed for two in one of the downstairs bedrooms, or bunk beds in the loft that can sleep three, or the sofa in the grand room with the pull-out bed? Whatever you decide, you’ll wake rested and ready for another day of ‘what to do’.
We are certain you will love the experience, but be careful, or you might find yourself in our shoes and falling in love with the UP!

Summary: We came to the Big Bay Area for fall colors. The location on the beach was so nice. With temperatures in the 60s and 70s we could sit on the front deck and enjoy the breeze and sound of the waves. Sun with some clouds on the horizon made the view of the lake outstanding. The "cabin" (gorgeous home) was great for our group of 2 couples. Very clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Communications couldn't have been better. This was a super home base for day trips to Sugarloaf, Big Bay hiking trails and Marquette.

Summary: Another great stay in Big Bay! The cottage is well maintained, owners are a text message away and the bay is big, beautiful and warmer than you would expect. Quiet and peaceful and easy walk to Crams, the Lumberjack and Thunder Bay Inn. Great berry picking along the roadside and nearby trails. Waterfalls and lookouts are plentiful in the area. Thank you!

Summary: We couldn’t have picked a better week to come to the U.P. for color and this house was perfect for our stay. The home was stocked with everything that we needed and you could tell that these owners really cared about us as guests. The view was amazing and we took full advantage of the beautiful beach, evening fires and stargazing, and even took a dip in Lake Superior. The neighbors were very friendly and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Thank you for an amazing week with many memories made!

Summary: Last year's stay was so good we came back in 2023! We can't say enough good things about the Mills and their wonderful home. We don't think that you will find a better location or a more comfortable and well-equipped home in Big Bay (or the Marquette area, for that matter) than this one. The home makes a great base for exploring Big Big, Marquette, and other great areas of the UP. It also is a great spot to stay and enjoy Lake Superior - inside or outside - with a wonderful deck and sandy beach. Most certainly, you will not find more kind, professional and friendly hosts than Anne & Joe Mills. They strive to make your stay hassle-free and do everything that they can to make their guests feel at home. Thank you, Anne & Joe, for sharing your home with us (again). We hope to visit again some day soon!

Summary: Wonderful cabin that is fully stocked with everything you might need. Would be a great house for Family with Kids. The beach is nice, no rocks or vegetation in the water. The water is only about 3ft in depth for about 50yrds. Great outdoor play area with the beach and the shallow water. Marquette was an easy drive for food. There are some restaurants near the cabin but if you want something a little less local dive bar, then I’d head into Marquette
