Perfect UP getaway

This home was perfect for our family vacation, with plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Location was great, easy to take day trips to Marquette and Pictured Rocks. Or just hanging out on the lake and taking in beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend!

Wonderful property on the lake

Our family had a reunion at this wonderful property. There was plenty to do on the lake with kayaks, paddleboat, canoe, lifejackets and a sauna too! We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, a very quiet lake setting, and it was convenient for visiting family and friends. We also enjoyed the outside covered deck and grill-we certainly hope to do it again next summer!

Perfect for family time

We had a fantastic time with our family. The property was a gem and stocked with everything we could imagine. We made good use of the games and water activities. It was easy to find, with plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles. The hosts were perfectly communicative and even remembered my mom’s birthday! Would absolutely stay again

Relaxing Vacation

Our family get together was wonderful due to the accommodations at this property. All communication was easy and responses were quick. We loved that outside area that allowed us to enjoy the lake and wildlife even in the rain. We have never stayed in a VRBO rental that was offered as many amenities. Thank you Carrie for sharing your beautiful property with us.

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!!

We have stayed at different locations every summer that we visit the UP. This location by far is our favorite!!!!! The sun room was incredible. We loved having dinner on the outside deck. We enjoyed bon fires on the beach at night. The condo is stocked with everything you could ever need. We will definitely be back!!!
