About this house rental

Beautiful A-Frame cottage on the sandy shores on lake independence. Great location with easy access to the lake from your own private sand beach. Relax in a hammock and enjoy the sound of the waves or take out one of the 4 kayaks for a lake excursion.

For those who like to take a more relaxed approach to their vacation, The Thunderbay and Lumberjack are located in Big Bay and they are both open for lunch and dinner.

You can take a short drive to The Big Bay Lighthouse which has tours of the grounds as well as a guided tour to the top of the lighthouse.

There are also plenty of hiking trails for all ages. The hike to the top of the Thomas Rock is short and sweet but provides incredible views of Lake Superior/Lake Independence and the Big Bay Area.
Just steps from the cabin you can hike the Iron River which leads you to the beautiful untouched beaches of Lake Superior. There is also the Yellow Dog River hiking trail which lead you to the amazing Yellow Dog waterfalls.

Crams general store is also located in the heart of Big Bay. They provide anything from groceries, fishing license as well as bate and tackle and everyone’s favorite part... Soft serve ice cream. : )

Please reach out with any questions you have about the cabin itself or the Big Bay Area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn't have been happier with the house, amenities, and location. The property was impeccably maintained and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners were fantastic at communicating, ensuring we had all the information we needed before and during our visit. We highly recommend this home!

Overall this was an excellent stay. Host had pretty much everything you could need available at the cabin. He was very responsive to questions. Location was beautiful and relaxing. Lake was nice- not super busy. Cabin was decorated nicely- very modern. My only complaints would be regarding the water- I would suggest bringing your own drinking water. Sulfer smell was over-powering... the water in my glass was actually yellow-ish... didn't feel great about drinking it, but just went to the local general store and bought water bottles. Only other complaint was that the windows really needed washing- lots of cobwebs and spiders... it's such a beautiful view, that took away from it a bit. The inside of the cabin was spotless, though... I would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay, especially the view, the beach, and all the outdoor activities in the area as well as spending time in and around the city of Marquette, its parks/harbors/waterfront and Northern Michigan University.

We had a great stay at the Eh-Frame Cottage in Big Bay, Mi. Ryan has put a great deal of thought and effort into his renovation of the cottage. From booking to checkout, Ryan was always readily available to answer any questions or issues we had. It is refreshing to stay at a property whose owners take care of the cottage the same whether they are staying or hosting guests. We enjoyed coffee on the back deck in the mornings, rode our side by sides during the day, and ended evenings with a kayak ride in the pristine lake. The setup of kayaks and fire ring by the lake are a perfect combination for a relaxing evening. We look forward to a future stay when even more renovations are complete. Thank you Ryan for such an enjoyable stay!

I was a little disappointed with location of this cottage it showed its location address in a different location, but had to have the owner send us a latitude/longitude pin to actually find the cottage. We came up to do some fishing on the lake, but could not dock our boat to his property do to very shallow waters where this cottage is located. The cottage has a nice layout with 2 different sitting areas. The only disappointing thing was the refrigerator was not clean, otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Ryan has done an amazing job with this remodel. He has included everything but the food in this place. We hardly wanted to leave - so we just hiked near Marquette and enjoyed the evenings by the lake. Met some friendly people on the lake while paddle boarding (we had our own). Learned the history of Henry Ford in that area, the anatomy of a murder movie, snd the Brunswick factory. Very cool area. We likely had a baby moose on the lake near us the first night. Wish we had seen it only heard it’s call. It was me and my 3 teens and we just loved every minute. Thank you again Ryan!
