About this property

The Upper Peninsula's Hidden Gem

  • The Upper Peninsula's Hidden Gem! Struggling to find a quiet beach? Well, how about your OWN PRIVATE BEACH! This paradise in Rapid River has roughly 100 feet of private beach right on the gorgeous Little Bay de Noc. Words don’t do the incredible sunrises, sunsets and bonfires by the water justice. The house itself is spacious, with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms to fit a big family. One of the bedrooms has three sets of bunk beds. The upstairs ensuite bedroom has its own deck with water views, there is an updated kitchen and sitting area. Professional Ice Fisherman Love our place! There is seclusion and Mother Nature all-around, but for those who aren’t all about peace and quiet, not to worry! Across the street is a township hall with a playground for kids and mini-park for other activities. The home is in the Eastern Timezone only 30 minutes southeast from the stores, shops and restaurants of Escanaba, and an hour south of the same features Marquette offers. Oh, and the downtown of Rapid River has two good restaurants and an ice cream place! The perfect getaway for families large and small!
