We had a peaceful, lovely week at the camp with our 1-year-old and dog! Perkins park was perfect for swimming and we loved the bikes! Beautiful sleeping in the trees with birdsong in the morning Thanks!

The location couldn’t be better for our vacation plans. Was able to get anywhere in the UP in a maximum of 3 and a half hours. Was beautiful and tranquil. Great price. Great hosts had everything we could (and couldn’t) think of.

For the value, this cabin has everything! Our hosts, Russ and Teresa were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They really should call this “Three Bears Cottage” because of the quirky bedroom upstairs! The claw foot tub is inviting, the milk glass lamps are charming- if you want a true get away- this is it! Big Bay offers a unique get away experience where you can wind down with outdoor activities! Everyone in Big Bay is friendly, as you walk down the paved road, you hardly see a car but when you do, everyone waves at you, how nice is that? I suggest venturing out to the Lumberjack for a burger with Jack, hiking the many paths down county road 510 to the waterfalls on the Yellow Dog river, the beach, of course and dinner at Thunder Bay Lodge. Perfection!

It was a great stay with fabulous host!! Great location in the Marquette area with a great camp feel. I also love that if you have leftover food that they have a family in the area to give the food too so it's not just thrown away!

We had a great time here. Fishing was good and hosts were very friendly. The cabin was better than advertised. Grill was top notch and everything we needed was there. Thanks for a great stay!

Charming cabin yes floors slop a little more than I expected but very clean and has everything you could possibly need. We went mainly to fish but pretty windy, did lots of sight seeing gorgeous country. Russ and Theresa are super nice and very informative on things to do. We would definitely go back.

The cabin has an unique character. It is well stocked with everything. We appreciated the travel info in the cabin. Russ was very friendly and concerned that our needs were met. We had a great time.

The hosts of this property are super nice! Everything we needed was at the cabin. The floors are wavy but given the age of the home is understandable. There are so many cool places to see and things to do in the area. Theresa and Russell had fantastic suggestions on things to see. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to go to this area!!

We enjoyed our stay very much! Something for everyone in the cabin and nearby! The lake by the property is perfect for smaller kids as it's not very deep for some distance. My teenager also enjoyed the water even though it was shallower. The floors add to the charm for sure but no one minded them at all. The kids liked ramping their cars on the hills! The hosts were very kind and respectful of our space, my kids kept talking about how nice they are. The stairs are creaky and as humans on the bigger side we had to step just so near the top but it wasn't terrible. Love the giant bath tub! We only wish there was a picnic table or something like it outdoors. Overall great experience and location for the price! Well worth it! Looking forward to coming back sometime! Also if you're lucky to be there during harvest the owners sell delicious blueberries that made for a nice road trip snack going home!

We enjoyed our five-night stay at the cabin. It was accurately described in the listing, and its unique features certainly added to the cabin’s charm. Despite the warm temperatures, the ceiling and floor fans provided perfect relief. The beds were comfy and the grill worked great, and a good deal of time in the early morning or evening was spent reading and relaxing both in the sunroom and outside by the fire pit. It was especially nice to observe the two bird nests in operation—one a robin and the other a wren. Being able to keep our boat docked at the front of the owners’ property was a huge perk. The water was clean and the ground sandy—easy to wade in. The cabin is a short jaunt into “town,”—we spent a bit of time enjoying cold beer and live music at the Lumberjack Tavern, enjoyed a late lunch at Duke’s Grill at the Thunderbay Inn, and a breakfast at Hungry Hollow Cafe. The cabin is also centrally located to visit Thomas Rock Overlook and hike to Yellow Dog Falls. We also spent a day in Marquette—do the cliff dive!!—and this is where we grocery shopped, as well. Fishing was fun on the lake, but it took a few days to figure out where to fish. The owner didn’t seem to want to give up any fishing secrets, which seemed counterintuitive to wanting people to return. My only issue with the cabin is that it is in need of a deep clean. While I appreciate not having to pay a cleaning fee, I didn’t expect dead bugs lining the inside window sills or moths fighting me for the bedside table lamp as I read before bed. Overall, we had a really good experience at the cabin. It is affordable and family-friendly, and the location is great. You just need to go into the experience with an open mind and a rustic attitude.

We went to enjoy some family time over the fourth. The lake was warm absolutely beautiful. The camp owners were so nice and helpful definitely going back

The house had been moved from another location and placed on a wood foundation. Overtime the timbers had rotted and the house is sinking. The floors were wavy & a challenge to walk on. The stairs up to the dormitory sleeping area were very weak & rickety. We feel VRBO should look into the properties people rent out.

A nice, convenient spot.
