Such a great place to stay and get away from it all! The house is perfect and has all the basics. The beach is pretty much right out the back door. The views were great. We had such a great time!

The atmosphere of a rustic beach cabin with all of the conveniences of any comfortable home. Like a private dark sky park. We really enjoyed out time and would definitely stay again.

My husband and I loved our time in Big Bay and it was a perfect get away! So quiet with fall colors. Great fire place with word burning stove on cold nights. Chris was super responsive and available at all hours

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the lakeside cabin. The views from the deck are outstanding and the 4 miles of beach are a great daily walk. The cabin is well maintained and the kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment and tools necessary for all our cooking needs. Everything was wonderful and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay for another week or two. Thank you Chris & Gina!
