Relax in a hammock and enjoy the sound of the waves or take out one of the 4 kayaks for a lake excursion. For those who like to take a more relaxed approach to their vacation, The Thunderbay and Lumberjack are located in Big Bay and they are both open for lunch and dinner. You can take a short drive to The Big Bay Lighthouse which has tours of the grounds as well as a guided tour to the top of the lighthouse. There are also plenty of hiking trails for all ages.

Just steps from the cabin you can hike the Iron River which leads you to the beautiful untouched beaches of Lake Superior. There is also the Yellow Dog River hiking trail which lead you to the amazing Yellow Dog waterfalls. Crams general store is also located in the heart of Big Bay.

Host had pretty much everything you could need available at the cabin. He was very responsive to questions. Location was beautiful and relaxing. Lake was nice- not super busy. Cabin was decorated nicely- very modern. My only complaints would be regarding the water- I would suggest bringing your own drinking water. Sulfer smell was over-powering... the water in my glass was actually yellow-ish... didn't feel great about drinking it, but just went to the local general store and bought water bottles. Only other complaint was that the windows really needed washing- lots of cobwebs and spiders... it's such a beautiful view, that took away from it a bit. The inside of the cabin was spotless, though... I would definitely stay here again. ##### Susan O.

We had a great stay at the Eh-Frame Cottage in Big Bay, Mi. Ryan has put a great deal of thought and effort into his renovation of the cottage. From booking to checkout, Ryan was always readily available to answer any questions or issues we had. It is refreshing to stay at a property whose owners take care of the cottage the same whether they are staying or hosting guests. We enjoyed coffee on the back deck in the mornings, rode our side by sides during the day, and ended evenings with a kayak ride in the pristine lake. The setup of kayaks and fire ring by the lake are a perfect combination for a relaxing evening. We look forward to a future stay when even more renovations are complete. Thank you Ryan for such an enjoyable stay! ##### Michelle W.

We came up to do some fishing on the lake, but could not dock our boat to his property do to very shallow waters where this cottage is located. The cottage has a nice layout with 2 different sitting areas. The only disappointing thing was the refrigerator was not clean, otherwise we enjoyed our stay. ##### Steve D.

Ryan has done an amazing job with this remodel. He has included everything but the food in this place. We hardly wanted to leave - so we just hiked near Marquette and enjoyed the evenings by the lake. Met some friendly people on the lake while paddle boarding (we had our own). Learned the history of Henry Ford in that area, the anatomy of a murder movie, snd the Brunswick factory. Very cool area. We likely had a baby moose on the lake near us the first night. Wish we had seen it only heard it’s call. It was me and my 3 teens and we just loved every minute. Thank you again Ryan! ##### Katie F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill P. 26 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake house This house was beautiful and the area was amazing.
