We loved the home. Check in couldn’t be easier. I was most impressed with how responsive the host was. I texted with questions ranging from where I may find something to how do I get the TV station I want. I never had to wait for a response. the kitchen was well stocked. We prepared most of our meals at the house.

Amazing (mostly shady) outdoor space
We had 2 families stay in this lake house for just over a week. Kids ranged from 11 to 18. It made a great base for day trips all over the UP and for our more relaxed days 'at home'. The outdoor space was perfect. Plenty of shade available all day, but there are sunny spaces available for any sunbathers as well. The sandy shoreline was perfect for pulling kayaks and the SUP in and out as needed. The lake was clear and the bluegill fishing was good. A local caught a good sized pike right in front of the dock! Beautiful sunsets across the lake. The TVs with Roku and wifi made the kids happy for the cool mornings and a bit of downtime before bed. Not a ton of privacy for the upstairs bedrooms, but it didn't bother anyone enough to knock off a star. The interior was spacious and well supplied. Couches were so comfy the lazy kids liked sleeping on them rather than going upstairs. :) I didn't use the sauna, but some of our group did and loved it. All in all a great place to stay.

Love this place!!
This was our 3rd annual stay at the Big Shag and it gets better every year. This year we had the added bonus of a sauna which was great with the cool weather week we had. Carrie and Mojo are the best! They take excellent care of their property and make sure that their guests have everything they could possibly need. We hope to continue to make memories at this beautiful place. Thank you Carrie and Mojo!!

Our family of 5 had a great week on Big Shag! It’s a good fishing lake and we enjoyed some trips to Marquette as well.

What a Great Week!
We had amazing weather for our week at Big Shag Lake! Sunny and 80’s every day- you couldn’t ask for better! The house has plenty of space to spread out and have your own spot if you want to but we usually hung out together outside or in the room overlooking the lake. We took short daytrips to Marquette ((Sugarloaf was awesome), Munising, Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, etc. But, mostly, we just enjoyed the lake. The kayaks, canoe, paddle board, and the relaxing feel was just what we all needed. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to have a great week!

What's not to do?
The easier question to ask yourself regarding this property is "what is there NOT to do?" because that list will be much shorter.
It's located near the airport and many major roads leading to many attractions in the area.
It is on a lake, with ample access to personal water craft.
It is cozy for when the weather is bad.
It is a great base when the weather is great.
