Host is very prompt in responding to questions. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Located in a peaceful quiet area. Many thoughtful touches provided, games for the entire family, a high chair for little ones. We can’t wait to return.

Thank you Joe and Anne for hosting our family for our 2023 MI vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Michigan has always been one of our favorite vacation spots, but this was our first trip to Big Bay. Your house is beautiful and I still can't get over that view. The sunrises on Lake Superior were amazing!!! Thank you for the recommendations of places to visit while we were there! The Thomas Rock Scenic Overlook was beautiful as was the view from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. We also enjoyed the Black Rocks at Lil Presque Isle. While on your property we had a daily visit from a chipmonk, a one time visit from a least weasel, a one time visit from an eagle, multiple visits from 2 duck families, and saw a couple deer just down the road. The kiddos enjoyed swimming, kayaking, building sand castles, and drawing in the sand on the beach. They also enjoyed the games in the game room. We were lucky enough to even do a campfire on the beach one night. Lots of memories were made!!! My youngest didn't want to leave and has since asked if we could go back to vacation! Thank you!!! You truly thought of anything and everything that could have made our trip easier and more special. We felt right at home!!!

This home away from home is everything in the listing and more. There are a lot of great hiking trails where you’ll have great views!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

This was the perfect spot for a Bachelor party for a group that liked the beach and fishing. We spend most of our time on the beach and at the fire. While here we did two fishing charters and the kitchen (and grill) had everything we needed to cook up out catch! The owner was very responsive and the listing was spot on... I hope to come back!

This is the second time we stayed in this rental and it’s beginning to feel like home away from home. From ease of booking to overall communication with owner things could not have gone better. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary here and not only was there plenty of room & activities for all ages, but this places dresses up amazingly! Love it & will definitely be back!

This was our family's 2nd trip to Big Bay, but our first time in the Mills' home. The house was well equipped and very comfortable for a great vacation. You will not find a better host than Anne to work with in planning a stay. She is the best! We watched the Northern Lights, the surrounding wildlife (eagles, chipmunks, deer and squirrels), and experienced the many moods of the greatest of the Great Lakes - Lake Superior. When we did manage to pull ourselves away from "home", we enjoyed shopping/dining in Marquette and exploring nearby nature areas and trails. Anne & Joe - thank you so much for your kindness and for sharing your home with us. We made many great memories and hope to visit again some day soon!

Another beautiful stay in Big Bay. Great weather, great hikes, great wildlife viewing, great beach, beautiful cottage and most important of all great hosts. Thank you, Anne and Joe for another special stay.

This was our second year coming to the Mills cabin and we had another amazing stay. It has everything you need right there and the beach area is private, relaxing, clean, and so safe with having littles. It is the perfect place to go to getaway as a family and lots to do right at the cabin.

We had a great stay in Big Bay. The owners were so easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was very comfortable. The beach was awesome for the children, and we enjoyed the nearby hikes and biking each day. Thank you for the memories!

We knew it was a good sign when the first day we were in Big Bay, a bald eagle swooped in and landed atop a pine tree on the beach on the property. The sight kicked off a nine day vacation that couldn't have been more perfect. The house is lovely, located on a secluded, beautiful beach with incredible views, and fully appointed, perfectly comfortable for our three-generation group (my son, wife, and in-laws). Anne was wonderful to work with as well: responsive as could be and eager to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We also found the area a lot of fun. Great walks and runs out the front door, hiking a moderate drive away, and Marquette only a little bit further, a place we had not before visited, but a great diversion on our rare rainy day. All in all, we couldn't have asked for more.

Our family agreed that this was one of the best properties that we ever stayed at! There was everything in the house that we could possibly need with an amazing view to top it off. The hosts are amazing to work with and always quick to respond. Would love to make a return trip!

Beachfront property provided great views of water and eagles. Many games provided for whole family for indoor and outdoor fun. House was equipped with many nice things throughout. Host provided with fully stocked kitchen (ie griddle, electric fryer, waffle maker, blender) and other nice pluses include: lighters, flashlights, pudgy pie makers and roasting sticks for campfire area too). Host is wonderful to work with and responded promptly to questions.

We loved our stay. The house was very kid friendly with lots of games and activities. The host have gone to a lot of effort to ensure the guests have an excellent time at their house. Definitely recommend and would go back.

Everything you need for a roomy 2 bedroom cabin plus a sleeping loft on Lake Superior. Peaceful setting with a spectacular view and all the amenities to make our stay enjoyable.

Our family of five spent an amazing extended weekend at this gorgeous property. The home was very clean and well stocked with necessities for our stay. Everyone agreed the beds were very comfortable. Large kitchen with ample seating. We could not get enough of the beach - it was so peaceful! Thunder Bay Inn had great food and atmosphere. Independence Trading Company is a great shop right in Big Bay with fun items and candy. Cram’s is close by for necessities and REALLY good ice cream. Downtown Marquette is quaint and has great shopping and food. During our stay, we saw eagles, chipmunks, geese, deer, turkey, red squirrels, hummingbirds and blue jays on or near the property. We even heard a moose calling one day on a hike! There are so many great hiking trails in the area. The owners are fabulous to work with and clearly care greatly about their beautiful home and the guests they welcome! Highly recommend this wonderful U.P. home!

The host, Anne, did a great job of communicating with us to make sure everything went well and met our expectations. The home was beautiful and well-furnished with nice touches like large, thick towels, substantial dishes and tableware, a selection of games, etc. The setting was wonderful and we especially enjoyed sitting outside at night, listening to the gentle waves on the beach and gazing up at the spectacular night sky. Wish we could have stayed longer - would love to return some day. Would absolutely recommend to others!!

If you are looking for peace and quiet, for a chance to get away from life to simply enjoy living, look no further. This amazing home has nothing to hide and makes no promises it can’t keep. It was, quite literally, the perfect place to call home for a week. But beyond the property and beautiful location, it’s managed by some amazing people who clearly care and want you to enjoy your stay. Thank you again, Anne! It was a wonderful week.

WOW! This is so Cool! These were the words my family shouted upon entering the Cabin. Just to mention a few of our favs…grilling out and enjoying breakfast out on the deck, roasting marshmallows over the fire pit, listening to the calming waves, taking adventurous hikes, boating (btw marina is only three min away) beautiful double rainbows and beautiful sunsets. Our hostess was informative and caring, making our vacation stay a very pleasurable one. My family and I would like to thank Anne for making us feel so welcome into her home.

Beautiful, spacious, clean, well-maintained property on large sugar sand beach. Many amenities! Lake Superior is shallower and warmer here, ideal for swimming and kayaking. The owners were responsive and helpful. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Many beautiful waterfall hikes are nearby, make sure to bring hiking poles if you are of a certain age. Loads of books provide information about the area and the U.P. It was a great vacation and we can't wait to return. Anne and Joe were accommodating, gracious hosts.

Anne was amazing to work with and her property is absolutely beautiful! We have kids ages 4, 7, and 9 that enjoyed the beach very every day. The weather was perfect, the cabin had everything we needed and more, and there was plenty to do. We enjoyed the Pictured Rocks Cruise one day but spent most every other day of the week just hanging out at the cabin. Our first trip to the UP and definitely won’t be the last!

My family and I had an awesome week that we didn’t want to end. Anne’s cabin has everything you need and more. We loved using the kayaks and yard games. Of course Lake Superior is the star here. Always in sight and really an immersive experience.

My college friends and I stayed here for a week and we had an amazing experience. The house is perfect with so many things you can do, the beach is amazing and great for swimming, and the property manager is very kind and accommodating. We will definitely be back if we can.

Our family, adult children and grandkids all had a great time. The house was in excellent condition, clean, well maintained and had everything we needed and more to keep all of us entertained for our 9 day stay. The hosts were very responsive. We would highly recommend this property.

This cabin is a great getaway from anywhere. Great beach, neighbors are friendly, and the view is second to none.
