About this property

Huron Horizons - Magical Sunsets & Four Seasons of Recreational Opportunities!

Magnificent sunsets over Lake Superior's Big Bay. Our winter guests (snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, snow-shoers, and those looking to curl up in a cozy cabin) will appreciate our plowed circle drive. For the protection of our cleaning personnel and guests during the 2023 rental season, we've built in a one-day cushion between check-ins.

Beautiful, two-bedroom cabin on Lighthouse Road in Big Bay, MI. As you walk in the front door you are greeted with spectacular views of Lake Superior through the living room bow window. Other custom windows bring in light and nature everywhere you turn. A custom-built circular staircase leads you up to the master bedroom with a king-size bed. You'll get spectacular views of Lake Superior from the Master Bedroom which includes a private bath and its own private deck. The downstairs bedroom has a full/full bunk bed which can sleep four. The upstairs loft provides additional views of Lake Superior, a cozy reading area, and with a queen sleeper sofa can double as a third bedroom. The cabin is well suited for six to eight - six adults or four adults and up to four children.

The cabin has a well-equipped modern kitchen with a gas stove, a dining room table with seating for six, and two full baths. The downstairs bath has a tub/shower with tile surround and the Master Bedroom bath has a shower with tile surround. The huge wrap-around deck includes a screened-in gazebo to keep you away from the bugs, a gas grill, and a food prep area. The cabin also has a newly installed two-zone air conditioning system, with an outdoor compressor, to keep you comfortable during hot/humid weather.

“The Huron Mountains encompass the most wild and rugged territory in Michigan. It is a region of low, yet surprisingly rugged mountains, swamps, lakes, and high plateaus.” (Huron Mountains Summit Post) The Huron Mountain Range runs from the Marquette area north and west through Big Bay and beyond, and along with the sandstone cliffs of Salmon Trout Point provides a distant backdrop for sunsets over the bay. The large lot, 225’ of Lake Superior shoreline, gives you a wide-angle view of the bay to the west. Lake Superior has been telling her serene and rugged story for thousands of years, and each daily chapter (weather permitting) ends with a sunset over Salmon Trout point. Every sunset you celebrate from Huron Horizons is one that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Yes, they are that special.

Make sure you set aside some time to explore Marquette during your stay. Marquette "Queen City of the North" is about a 30 minute, beautiful drive from Big Bay, and is perhaps the most picturesque city in Michigan. We're a little biased but we believe that to be true. Marquette has many wonderful shops and restaurants (our favorite being The Vierling which overlooks the Ore Dock and Marquette's beautiful Lower Harbor). While in Marquette we would also highly recommend visiting Presque Isle and allowing enough time to hike and explore this wonderful peninsula. The Marquette area provides tons of outdoor opportunities including year-round world-class mountain bike and cross-country ski trails.

Here are some nearby attractions. Google for directions and more information. A PDF with additional information about the cabin, including links to these area attractions, will be sent after you've confirmed your reservation:

My family uses Vrbo extensively including multiple trips to Michigan and this now our second trip to the U.P. although the first to this area and property. This is the first time a property has felt like coming home. You can tell this isn’t a developer’s property but is instead the loved home of a family that allows others to use it when they’re not. A gas range and other quality appliances were a welcome surprise. We are all cooks at home and there’s no McDonald’s up here so a proper kitchen was great to have. Everything was just comfortable and welcoming and the views were excellent. We just appreciate the time so much.
