Sunbeam Cottage - charming 2-bed lakefront house minutes from Big Bay

Welcome to Sunbeam Cottage, a charming 2-bedroom house on Lake Independence, less than two miles from shops and restaurants in Big Bay. Original hardwood flooring, multi-paned windows, antique hardware, and vintage shutter blinds bring out the 1920s character of the cottage, while the sparkling lake views, welcoming sunroom, outdoor seating, and spacious deck create a picturesque and comfortable surrounding to relax and enjoy time away on your vacation. The property's 300 feet of lake frontage and private dock make the space is ideal for those looking for a peaceful getaway. While the U.P. boasts many lakes, Lake Independence's unique features include its stone-and-sand bottom, warm temperature, and shallow depth. No freezing limbs, no water shoes required, and no drop off after 20 feet! In summer, walk down the stairs at the end of the dock into the water and play in the lake all day, venture out onto the lake in the rowboat or kayak available for guest use, or relax in the hammock as the breeze blows. Open the windows in the sunroom to enjoy the feel of being outside, but without the bugs! And if fishing is on your to-do list, Lake Independence is an ideal place to catch jumbo perch, walleye, bass, and more. When hunger calls, the easy-to-use pellet grill is perfect for cooking for the whole family, or visit Big Bay's historic Thunder Bay Inn and then stop for ice cream afterward. While you're in town, enquire at Huron Mountain Outfitters about kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and motor boats available for rent!

Although there is not a private boat launch on the property, boat launch for Lake Independence is available at Perkins Park.

Looking for a place to stay during your winter snowmobiling adventure? Sunbeam Cottage is available for rental year-round. Stay cozy inside while enjoying the view of the frozen lake, or make the house your base for ice fishing on Lake Independence.

Pets welcome! Pet fee is $50 per stay.

Pack and play and booster seat/high chair are available upon request. Families with toddlers may wish to note that there is no fence to keep children from the steeply pitched hill down to the lake.

Occupancy is limited to five people (six with an infant): due to the size of the bedrooms, there is not space for air mattresses or additional sleeping options.

The second cottage on this property is undergoing renovations and will be ready to rent soon. Rest assured, no work will take place during guest stays. We can't wait to share this exciting expansion with you!

Yes, very clean and cozy. Right from entering the cottage we knew this was going to work. Perfect for us two who are in our early 70's.Fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom, great bedding and spectacular lake view. Where else can you catch a sunrise and sunset from the same place. Shaded yard, great lawn chairs and swings, fire pit with lots of cut wood.Thanks for your attention to detail with old mixed with modern conveniences.My favorite was the wooden screen door. Memories from the past on the farm!Planning to return next Fall.Richard Koehler

My family and I stayed at this wonderful cottage for an extended wedding trip. The lake was absolutely perfect! Our young kids (7 & 4) were able to walk out quite far with how shallow the lake is near the beach. They spent hours splashing around and paddling in the canoe. We ended our days with a fire and s'mores. Unfortunately, we didn't see as many stars like we hoped due to wildfire smoke. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We used quite a few! In the mornings we enjoyed the sunroom for breakfast. We saw some hummingbirds and deer around the property! One thing that would be helpful is to have a step stool for kids. We ended up using a chair so they could wash their hands and brush teeth on their own. Overall, we had a wonderful time and made many memories here!

Awesome getaway in the UP

This cottage was the perfect spot to escape and start the summer for our family. We had a wonderful week long stay with our 6 & 8 year old daughters, and our dog. Everyone loved it for different reasons, the kids loved swimming in the lake, my husband enjoyed having a fire in the evening, and I loved my morning coffee out on the screened in porch watching the birds. The host has thought of everything and all the small touches made the week easy and convenient for us. This place has a very homey and welcoming feel. We hope to be back again soon!

Owners need to address these issues

We arrived at the property to find the deck covered in ice and snow. Had to clean the deck off before our 85 year old friends could walk on the deck..drvieway was cover with snow and icy. We could not drive all the way up the driveway. Our New Expedition in four drive was spilling pulling up our 30' enclosed trailer. Had to haul our luggage and food half up the driveway to the house. Once in the house found black ants crawling around the kitchen and bathrooms floors...On Monday my 85 year old friend fell on the driveway. Had to rush him to the Marquette Medical Urgent Care for exrays ..no bones broken but bruised his shoulder and neck. The Doctor put him in a sling. Had to cancel our snowmobiling plans for the week. Can't believe anyone with any brains would allow renters to come to this location and not have the driveway and deck cleaned and ready at 200 plus per night. At less have sanded or salted the driveway. Plus, nowhere to hang our cloths, lousy 3 hooks in the bedrooms. Are you KIDDING.. the couch in the living is a joke. Yes, you tell we are NOT HAPPY

Amazing stay!

We had a truly memorable visit to the Marquette/Big Bay Area. The cottage was super cute and comfortable and the view was mesmerizing! The owners went above and beyond and had all the amenities covered, plus many extras! Staying at the cottage made our long weekend truly memorable from relaxing at the cottage enjoying the views from both the cottage and the provided kayak to the numerous breathtaking hikes. In addition, downtown Marquette was easily accessible for great dinners/breweries! I highly recommend this cottage and hope to return someday! Thanks for allowing us to visit your beautiful property!

Wonderful Stay at Sunbeam Cottage!

We had an amazing two-week stay at this beautiful cottage in Big Bay, MI. The location right on Independence Lake made for the most relaxing getaway we could have imagined. Every day we enjoyed the serene views and peaceful surroundings, which were perfect for unwinding. The cottage was cozy, well-maintained, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Plus, it was great that we could bring our dogs along! They absolutely loved exploring the area and spending time by the lake. If you're looking for a tranquil escape in nature with all the comforts of home, this is the perfect spot. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to come back!

The cottage is a good size, it doesn't feel cramped, but it's small enough to encourage you to go outside and enjoy nature. We had a great time fishing our on the lake, and coming back to have fires each evening, overlooking the lake.
