The washer and dryer, extra supplies, air conditioning, and wifi were all very appreciated. Beds were comfortable, smart TV whandy, and check in was a breeze.

What a beautiful area of the UP to explore! This house was the perfect place for a girls weekend. Very clean, stocked and communication.

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.

We had such a great time staying in downtown Big Bay at this cozy and convenient property. We had everything we could have needed or wanted including Caribou Coffee! (Minnesotans love our Caribou :) ) The location was perfect and quiet, the home was clean and spacious. Having a great space to stay made our trip that much better and more enjoyable.

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!
