Summary: Beautiful property, house was very clean and well stocked, excellent communication. Kids are already asking when we can return!
Natalie K. Aug 10, 2025 08:03:16 AM
Summary: This house had everything we needed and more for a trip with friends and with 6 kids under 6! The kids loved playing in the shed and all the lake toys. Having the lake bottom cleaned of weeds near the dock was so nice. We also loved the large patio area. Inside the rooms and bathrooms were a great size and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and bake. We could have stayed and played at the house all day everyday! But the location was perfect to do day trips to Marquette, Pictured Rocks and Munising. Would definitely stay again and will be recommending this property to anyone considering a UP trip!

Summary: We love this place. It has everything you need for a family vacation. Communication with the host is excellent.
Samantha J. Jul 22, 2025 11:51:24 PM
Summary: Our extended family of 10 (6 adults, 4 kiddos aged 5 and under) had a wonderful stay. It is well stocked with household amenities and outdoor adventure gear. Our kiddos caught many fish from the dock. Sarah was communicative and kind. The lake is a nice size without being too busy. Bedroom sizes were great and beds were comfy. The open layout of the kitchen/dining/living was wonderful for being together as a family with ample space. Highly recommend!

Summary: What an amazing location on Big Shag Lake. Sarah was an amazing host. The house had everything one would need when traveling to a destination like this. The house is on a cove of the lake which is beyond beautiful and peaceful. Anyone going to the UP would be remiss not staying at Sarah’s house.

Summary: The place was great. Had everthing we needed plus some. All the water toys you would need. The patio was awesome. The lake was quiet and great for fishing. My 12 year old twins and 4 uear old were occupied the entire time. Nice place to swim. Loved taking the boat out for deep swimming. House was a great size for 8 people. Sarah was great, answered all our questions, was attentive and accommodating. We would definitely book again.
Elizabeth M. Jul 30, 2024 09:35:32 PM
Summary: First time getting our gang together for a family trip and it was all we hoped for. The house is well maintained and spacious enough for everyone. It is on a small bay that was ideal for the kids to fish and paddle board and be in sight. Not one complaint of being bored and a lot less time spent on their devices!! Our evenings were spent enjoying a fire and conversation on the patio. Great vacation!
Theresa N. Jul 24, 2024 11:08:59 AM
Summary: This property is amazing. It is not only beautiful, it has everything you would need for a stay in vacation. Our family used it for six nights to be able to stay all together for a lake retreat vacation (my husband and I, son and daughter-in-law, and daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren). The place is stocked with everything you would need….kitchen supplies, games, water toys, etc. It is large enough to be together but offers very large bedrooms for privacy. We are already looking for dates for next year. I would highly recommend this property.
Amanda S. Jul 19, 2024 05:08:31 AM
Summary: The house was even better than the pictures, it was incredibly clean, well laid out, and had everything we needed, they thought of everything! It was well stocked so we could bake, grill, play on the water, and in the large yard. One of our favorite things was hanging-out by the beautiful fire pit and gazing at the stars. It was also only a 30 min drive to Marquette. Sarah was very kind, provided very clear details on check-in and check-out, and was prompt to reply to any questions we had during our stay. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Thanks for sharing this slice of heaven with us!

Summary: Bright, clean, very well appointed.
