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!
