Paul & Gina greeted us when we arrived, and Paul even went out of his way to help carry things down to the suite! The property was beautiful and the view from the living area was surreal! Also, we were able to enjoy the fire pit. There were kayaks & a canoe available for use as well. We were blessed beyond measure, and the colors were spectacular. Thank you Paul & Gina for blessing us with our stay at this beautiful space of heaven!! You both were very gracious and helpful we appreciate your hospitality...we are looking forward to booking from you again!

We spent a week at Paul and Gina's property and highly recommend the experience. We had to ask for a late check in and then ended up getting lost, despite great directions from our owners. They could have not been more gracious about the entire fiasco! The suite is exactly as described and was perfect for our vacation. While the owners live above, they were never intrusive and very conscious of our privacy. The gardens and yard are spacious and beautiful and you are right near the water to enjoy the cool breeze and waves. A very clean and well appointed property with the bonus of daily visits from Gina's dog, Jackson. We have been to Big Bay before and appreciate the remoteness and beauty of the area. We are sincerely grateful for the hospitality!

What an amazing stay!!!! The lake is beautiful and Gina was such a wonderful host! We enjoyed kayaking on the lake as well as exploring all sorts of surrounding areas. The outdoor space was incredible! We enjoyed sitting out there in the mornings and evenings. Usually during the day we were gone exploring.
I can’t say enough about Gina our host. We spent a beautiful night with a fire and Gina and Paul. It did rain on us so we moved under the deck and had a great time. While they were totally unobtrusive, we so enjoyed our interactions and spending time with them! Will definitely stay here again if we ever venture back up to this area!!!!

This property is absolutely beautiful, 50 feet away from the lake. Suite was comfortable and had everything you would possibly need for your stay. Gina and Paul were very attentive (but not too attentive) and they were the perfect hosts. My mother is 85 and has some physical challenges and they went way above and beyond to help with anything we needed. I would absolutely love to stay here again and would highly recommend it.

What a wonderful piece of paradise
We had the reviews about how comfortable it was to stay here, so our expectations were high, which often leads to disappointment. Needless to say, that didn't happen. There is something about being so close to the water, aided by such a comfortable and welcoming space, that just makes all your troubles disappear. The only problem with staying with Paul & Gina is the difficulty of leaving.
It is a bit remote, but that probably adds to the peacefulness and did not prove a problem to us at all. We stopped in Marquette on our way in, went back for dinner and a symphony concert in the park the next night and then spent our last day soaking up the local color surrounding Anatomy of A Murder, and the real crime that was its basis. If you ask nicely at the Lumberjack Tavern, they will bring out the part of the bar that has the real bullet holes. Or at least they convinced us of that. For our first time in the UP, we could not have made a better selection.

Hosts were helpful without being intrusive. The local scenery and local hiking is beautiful. The kayaks were a nice addition, we used them a couple times. There’s only a tavern nearby for burgers, otherwise drive a half hour to dine out.

We loved our stay at this beautiful place. I spent a lot of time looking at the lake, which has many moods. The suite was very clean and comfortable and a perfect place to get some rest. Our hosts were very gracious and thoughtful and made us feel right at home. There were kayaks to borrow and a nice BBQ grill. We also enjoyed the outdoor patio for morning coffee and bird watching. We can’t wait to go back. If you have a chance to stay here— do it!

My wife and I spent the days leading up to New Years and New Years day here. It was very clean and very accommodating. I liked being able to walk out the back door and being able to ice fish just a couple hundred of yards from the house...and catch fish! Gina was a great host and checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend a stay here and we'll probably be back sometime ourselves!

Had never been to the UP before. Chose this because it was centrally located. On a map. Not, however, on roads. Didn't matter. The accommodation was delightful, views were spectacular, and hosts very helpful. Host even suggested we not visit one area due to Covid outbreak.
