Just Okay
We arrived on a beautiful afternoon and the cleaning crew was running late so we decided to take our dogs down to the beach. Well, what was supposed to be 240 feet of beautiful sandy beaches was albeit beautiful but was anything but a beach. It was many months of grasses growing and mossy marsh leading out to hundreds of feet of shallow waters. While the rest of the property was over the top, this really ruined the entire trip for us. Never even went in the water. :((

Amazing Sunsets
This cabin was excellent for our family with three college age kids. They had plenty of room plus also enjoyed the large yard and camped outside a couple of nights. The pristine water and beach area was so relaxing. We enjoyed bonfires nightly as we watched the amazing sunsets. Then the moon shining over the water. We also saw the northern lights the first night. The weather was perfect we went Aug 10-16 no black flies. The home owner really thought of everything you would need in a kitchen and supplied paper products. Beds and pillows were outstanding and comfortable furniture. Very clean home. The water was clear and shallow with a sandy bottom. We drove north an hour to Munising for a boat tour of Pictures Rocks. Went to Fayette State Park that has a historic town was only 25 min away. Also, went to Kitch-iti-Kipi only 20 min away. Escanaba was only 45 min. So perfect. Location. We would definitely stay at this house again. We had a wonderful week.

Great Place to Stay!
I had a great week staying here with my boyfriend and our dog. The cottage is on the water and has beautiful views. I enjoyed sitting by the water and reading a book. So peaceful. The lake has a sandy bottom, and the sand bar goes out pretty far. We loved exploring the area and took trips to Pictured Rocks, Fayette State Park, Benny the Beard Fisher and Kitch-iti-kipi. The listing was very accurate. The cottage was very clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. I loved how the cottage was dog friendly! There were food bowls, a food mat and bags outside to pick up after your dog. We had a great time and would book again!

A s;ice of heaven in the UP!
My wife and rented the cottage for the 2nd year in a row – this time for 2 glorious weeks. The accommodations are excellent – kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The view and lake access are beautiful and great for wading and playing in the water. The sunsets are breathtaking! The Roomba, grill, and kayaks most excellent accessories. We look forward to another summer sojourn at the Sunset Beach Cottage!

Beach cottage on Big Bay de Noc
Beautiful location. The sunsets were breathtaking. The beds and other furniture were comfortable and clean. Loved that there was a Rumba. It made keeping the floors clean a lot easier. Nice, newer dishes and appliances. We have a couple concerns about this rental 1. The refrigerator was as full of un needed condiments. The door had been left slightly ajar and we thought it best to not keep them. 2.The dishwasher was not clean. The door had food stuck to it and mold along the top. 3.our biggest disappointment was the beach. All the photos we saw on the listing had a beautiful sandy beach. In reality the weeds were in abundance and it made it hard to actually get in the water. 4. The toilets were occasionally clogged and it was necessary to use the provided plunger to unclog them. Fortunately on Tuesday morning the septic tank company arrived and did their job and we had no more problems.

Fabulous getaway!
Walking into this cottage was like I had been there before. The pictures are so accurate. Everything was just great. We had a fabulous time even though I didn’t get a chance to use the kayak. We did check out the historic Fayette Village state park. Also went to see the Big Spring Indian Lake. We would love to come back here again, in fact, I could just move in. The only thing was the pots and pans were not the best. Thanks for everything. Great place!

Peaceful retreat in a beautiful location
My husband and I rented this beautiful cottage as a place to relax after finishing the work of packing up and selling our house. We were pretty exhausted and needed time to just “ do nothing” and plan our year of travel. We can’t say enough about the cottage. The beds were so comfortable and the pellet stove provided a cozy warmth while we sat in the living room enjoying the sunset in the evening. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. It was a pleasure to eat our meals at the cottage rather than go out to a restaurant. The beach front has a lovely wooden bench swing , picnic area, and fire pit . There is plenty of space to walk and explore the lake- great place to walk the dog. Though we were here to relax, this place is perfect for a family on a summer vacation looking to swim, fish, and have fun. We met or goal of relaxing and enjoyed every minute here. The owner was very responsive to our needs and easy to communicate with. There was no downside to our stay.

Amazing
This place is exactly as described and in my opinion even better! If you're looking for a nice private getaway this is a great place to go! My favorite part was having a bonfire right on the beach. It was so relaxing. The beds were extremely comfortable too! Everything was just really perfect for my family. We will definitely be coming back when its warm so we can get in the water but even while its cold out i would still go back here again and again! Checking in was a million times easier and less hassle than a hotel and communicating with Heather, our host was very easy. She was very generous with checking in early and explained everything perfectly. I will be recommending this place to as many people as i possibly can for sure

Beach House
This cottage has it all. Amazing views, comfort, well stocked, and great location. We toured Fayette Historic State park and hiked the 4mi trail on day one followed by an amazing dinner at Docks Grill in Garden. Spent next day at Miners Falls/Castle, and hiked the North Coast Trail to the beach. Last day visited Kitch-itI-Kip Springs & hiked Colwell Lake trail. Fall colors were amazing. Unfortunately the late October weather was not great for beaching. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Just be aware it doesn’t sit far off the road so watch your children and pets. Five stars!!!

This cabin was the perfect place to relax and unwind in the evening after enjoying the scenic drive to and from pictured rocks national lakeshore. It didn’t feel like much of a drive traversing through the surrounding national forest to get there. The sunset at the cabin was an added bonus. Pellet stove was a very nice touch.

Nice stay at this cottage. It was warm enough the first day to get in the water which was much warmer than we expected for the UP. It is very shallow for a long way out. We saw a beautiful sunset early in the week before it got cooler and rainy. The Dock Bar and Grill is just up the road and has great fresh fish!

Beautiful spacious cabin and property. Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything needed and more. The place fit 7 people and 2 dogs comfortably and the nightly beach bonfires were awesome, along with the stunning sunsets. Great communication with owner. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. The only issue was the plumbing would get backed up now and again. But we imagine with all the showers, toilet flushing, etc. it overloaded the system a bit. We just gave it some time and everything worked great.

UP Hiking Trip 2023
Overall nice cabin with ample room for 4 with nice view, lots of tables, nice furniture and kayaks. near some bigger towns for shopping and restaurant and driving distance to other parks and hiking areas. We loved the UP area and all the small towns we visited-eat, drink, and hiking. there were a few things that were noticeable- strong smell from the water when using the shower and bathroom sink(there is a new water filtration system for drinking water/kitchen); it is located right on the busy road; door lock on front door was finicky; and the sandy beach has quite a bit of grassy area but we did love the Florida-like sands on Lake Michigan. Overall we would stay here again
