Our family had a great stay. Plenty of space, beautiful views, and lots of things to do on the lake. The location was just what we were looking for - quiet and somewhat remote but close enough to other gorgeous sites for hikes, swimming, and scenic outlooks. The home was cozy and had everything we needed for a great vacation. We would definitely stay again.
Jim has a very nice rental at Lake Independence. It was comfortable and Jim had everything in place for our fishing trip. Neighbors aren't very friendly but sometimes you have that. It was a very pleasant stay. Thanks Jim.
The host was awsome and a list of all the local spots for food and attractions the house was beautiful and the area was gorgeous 10/10 would stay again the host was quick to respond to any questions we had
Location was lovely. Quiet, private, picturesque. Easy access, plenty of room. The house itself was very comfortable, as was the furniture.However, property was not fully cleaned when we arrived: there was hair in the shower; beds not properly made; leftover food from previous guests in fridge and freezer. A/C did not work (window A/C unit was available, but central air was not functional); thankfully, it was mostly cool enough without, but I could see this being an issue as it continues to warm up. Minimal paper products available (toilet paper, paper towel). The host inappropriately pushed boundaries when communicating with myself (as a member of the opposite sex) before the rental period began, which I found very uncomfortable.
We had a wonderful stay at the house on Lake Independence in Big Bay! The highlight of our trip was definitely watching the sunrise and sunset from the porch, where we had a stunning view of the water. We also enjoyed capturing photos of the full moon reflecting on the lake in the evenings. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The house itself is well-equipped with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. From the comfortable living space to the well stocked kitchen, we felt right at home. One of the standout features was the Sleep Number bed, which provided an outstanding sleep experience. We woke up refreshed and ready to enjoy the day!Our host, Jim, was wonderful in communicating with us and ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. He went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable.Itâs worth noting that the photos of the house do not do justice to the real thing â itâs even more beautiful in person!Overall, we couldnât have asked for a better retreat. If youâre looking for a peaceful escape, this is the perfect spot. We canât wait to return!
Great house, atmosphere and location. Well appointed for everything you may need for a great get away at the lake. Communication with owner was top notch. Would stay again and again!
What a great place to stay. Starting your day looking over the lake from the sunroom could not be better. There is everything you need there to enjoy the lake. My only suggestion would be if you want to do a lot of fishing you might want to bring a boat. Communicating with the owner is a breeze.
Jimâs home is a gem. Itâs spacious and comfortable and has everything you might need. I particularly enjoyed having my meals in the sunroom each day. The lake and property are the perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying being out in nature. The public beach in town on Lake Superior is quite nice, and Marquette is just a half hour away, with lots of great hiking and natural areas in between. I hope to be able to return for another stay some day.
Stunning views of fabulous lake from this property. Great water toys and seems like new dock. Communication with the owner Jim was open and easy and he had great tips for the area. Our opinion was the property could use a deep cleaning and organizing of cupboards, updated cookware (fry pans, cookie sheets), new pillows.
The property was very nice and it met our needs well. The kitchen was spacious and the view was outstanding. Not sure if the air conditioner worked, but it was not so hot that we needed it. Our purpose to be there was to fish and the fishing was great. Would rent the house again if we go to Big Bay again.
Our stay was ok here. Being directly on Lake Independence was amazing, exactly what we wanted. It was very quiet and scenic with lots of wildlife in the area. Unfortunately this property needs some help in more ways than one. At the last minute, the day before check in I received a call telling me the property wonât be cleaned before we arrival. Ok, I guess weâll have to deal with it since we canât find a replacement home last minute. Then the conversation went on to the fact doors donât lock properly. Yes, very true, sliding door locked behind us going outside. 2 people got stuck in the bathroom. The home is shown to be a 3 bedroom 2 bath. It is actually 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Bedroom 1 has a kingsize bed; bedroom 2 has a full size bed; and the sunroom with no privacy, no curtains, blinds etc. was what was referred to as the 3r bedroom. 2 baths, nope, 1 bath. I do not consider a toilet that didnât flush in the laundry/utility room a bathroom. We learned about the issue with the laundry toilet the day before as well. The house had a wall air conditioner unit, and the bedrooms and sunroom were never cool enough for sleeping. It was too hot to have the windows open during our stay. Other concerns included mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets, lid to grill was broken and grill in bad shape. The dock was not secured properly having cinderblocks and c clamps holding the decking to the frame. Some sections still popped out causing safety hazard. We feel very misled.
Amazing views of Lake Independence and the Huron Mountains. Very quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed both Lake Independence and Lake Superior. Fantastic views from Thomas rock.
Awesome place right on the water, epic views! Great secluded area away from the city, couldn't ask for a better getaway! Jim is an A+++ host, everything was taken care of and we had a great time! Perfect spot to start your UP vacation!
Great getaway spot with tons of room, epic views and a very spacious property. Definitely coming back next summer. Close to Marquette and Big Bay is a neat little town. Two Thumbs up!!
