3 Bedroom Cottage in Big Bay

Enjoy beautiful Lake Independence 25-30 miles NW of Marquette, MI with a 3-bedroom lake cottage right on the southside of the lake with a sandy beach and dock. Pontoon not included, but there is an open boat slip on our dock (mid-June through mid-October). 2 kayaks are included.
Some of the best UTV, snowmobiling, mountain biking, and skiing trails along with backcountry snowmobiling in the U.P. are right in your backdoor. Fish for walleye, perch, pike, and bass on Lake Independence in the summer or winter!
Fall 2023 Update: We've widened the driveway of N3324 so there is plenty of room for snowmobile trailers, along with additional parking. We've also purchased the empty lot next door so there is even more room for parking.

Summary: This is perfect, very well stocked, all cooking utensils, good working grill and the list goes on and on. Lake independence is huge, amazingly quiet. We saw loons, eagles, hummingbirds, redstarts and more. Stay here if you want to be way up in UP.
