We were so happy with our stay. There were so many small touches added to this extremely clean house. The sun porch was great for coffee in the morning as was the back porch on the warmer mornings. They had a big shower with very good water pressure with a lot of extra towels. The kitchen had everything you can ever need and they had sharp knives! They left a welcome basket of goodies with Trenary bakery cinnamon toast. Wifi worked great and they had a large TV which we didn't use. There was a fire pit in the yard with wood and kindling. The beds were comfy and the heat worked very well. They are located a block or 2 from a restaurant, ice cream shop, church, and park with playground. We were visiting family so we are definitely be staying here again.

Charming!

We loved Big Bay! Friendly people who went out of their way to be great! We enjoyed many area attractions—mining and museums, Squaw Beach and a Fall Festival! Plus so much beauty everywhere. Thank you Wendy, and thank you Big Bay!

Comfy Stay in Big Bay

Wendy is an amazing host! She was in communication with us before our stay and gave some great recommendations on hikes. She went above and beyond in preparing the space for our family—with treats and toys and entertainment that everyone enjoyed. The house is in an awesome location with a great backyard if you want to stay in, or several awesome spots within walking distance (Burns Beach is a 15 min walk and the Lumberjack Tavern is a 5 min walk). There are several great hikes within 15-20 min of the home that are good for all ages. We had a great time and can’t wait to visit again!

Comfortable Home with All You Need

This home was exceptionally clean! Everything we needed for the week had been anticipated by the host. There were plenty of dishes in the kitchen, plenty of towels in the house and plenty of space for all seven of us who stayed here for almost a week. Thank you Wendy for quickly replying to all inquiries. You are indeed a Super Host !

Nice upper peninsula Michigan house

The house has been updated and has a very nice upstairs bathroom. Hosts have attention to detail; artsy decorations, games for kids and adults, reading material, wood swing, fire pit, etc. As pics show, decks in front and side of house as well as sun room for chilly mornings or inclement weather. Kitchen well supplied with cooking utensils. We felt very welcome. Lack of internet and poor cell service (our phones are mvno) made communication difficult but who goes to Big Bay Michigan for streaming movies? No dishwasher but plenty of cleaning and drying supplies. All bedrooms upstairs. We really enjoyed our august stay and would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and had everything needed for a great stay. Nice enclosed porch plus a wonderful fire pit area. Only a 30 minute drive to the Superior Dome, but out away from the traffic of Marquette. Deer come into the yard at night and eat off the apple trees. I will definitely stay here again.
