Perfectly Peaceful Getaway in Big BayOur stay in Big Bay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! The rental was spotless when we arrived—clean, well-kept, and inviting. Everything felt fresh and cared for, which immediately set the tone for a relaxing trip.The location was ideal for a quiet escape. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it gave us the calm and tranquility we were looking for. We enjoyed the slower pace, the beautiful surroundings, and the ability to simply unwind without distractions.What made it even better was how hassle-free the entire process was. From booking to check-in, everything was smooth and simple, with no stress or complications. It allowed us to focus on enjoying our time rather than worrying about logistics.If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and truly relaxing place to recharge, this Big Bay rental is an excellent choice. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such an easy, enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

The house was very clean and comfortable. We were there to rock climb and it was an easy 15-30 minutes drive to several spots. The host was very responsive and even picked up some additonal puzzles and games when I mentioned we enjoyed having those as options.

The property was in immaculate condition and was well apportioned with everything we could need. The owner thought of all the little things. The house was cozy and comfortable. The property backed onto a beautiful forest. We saw plenty of wildlife (rabbits, deer, chipmunks, groundhog).

Big bay getaway- great house!

We have a large family that visits near this listing that won’t fit our extended family of 13. My family of four stayed here for a week and it was great! Clean, well stocked and very communicative. Couldn’t have asked for a better place

I stayed in the little school house for 5 weeks. Was there because my daughter who lives close by had a baby. Enjoyed every minute.

The Best Stay in Big Bay

This was simply the perfect place for us to stay! Clean & comfortable. With a bad back, I appreciated the comfortable bed. Everything we could need was provided, especially a well-stocked kitchen. Quiet, secluded neighborhood. The Host was responsive to our needs and questions. We enjoyed the Big Bay/Marquette area so much that we added an extra day. We really can't think of enough good things to say about this property, we highly recommend it!

Cute & very clean little house

Stayed here when visiting our son in Marquette & to do some hiking in the Big Bay Area. Older but very clean & nice updates to this cute little house! Host left many extras if you needed them like toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, & bug spray. Did not use kitchen really but looked to be well stocked for cooking. Location is great as is close to store & the couple places to eat like The Lumberjack Tavern. Also near Yellow Dog Falls trail & Thomas Rock scenic lookout. Communication was great with host.

Weeklong Getaway in the Big Bay

Overall we had an enjoyable stay. The home was immaculately clean and well kept and the beds were very comfortable. The only issue we had was the loose cold water knob in the shower but it was not unusable, just made adjusting the water temperature difficult. We would stay here again if planning to see Marquette or hiking in the surrounding area.
