The Upper Peninsula's Hidden Gem

The Upper Peninsula's Hidden Gem! Struggling to find a quiet beach? Well, how about your OWN PRIVATE BEACH! This paradise in Rapid River has roughly 100 feet of private beach right on the gorgeous Little Bay de Noc. Words don’t do the incredible sunrises, sunsets and bonfires by the water justice. The house itself is spacious, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms to fit a big family. One of the bedrooms has three sets of bunk beds. The upstairs master bedroom has its own deck with water views, there is an updated kitchen and sitting area. There is seclusion and Mother Nature all-around, but for those who aren’t all about peace and quiet, not to worry! Across the street is a township hall with a playground for kids and mini-park for other activities. The home is only 30 minutes southeast from the stores, shops and restaurants of Escanaba, and an hour south of the same features Marquette offers. Oh, and the downtown of Rapid River has two good restaurants and an ice cream place! The perfect getaway for families large and small!

Great place
We were there for my mother's burial and to have a few days to relax & reflect on her. We were so happy to find this hidden gem. Amy was very responsive, the house was very clean and had so many extras. It is an inviting home with lots of space for everyone. We spent a lot of time by the water and playing in the yard. There was a lot of wood for campfires but we only had 1 day that the wind cooperated for us. Thank you again!!! When we have a need to rent in that area again i will be looking for availability here first.

Beautiful views and wonderful beach
Check in went well with opening the home and getting settled in. The home was found as expected and advertised. We had plenty of wood for the fire pit and even had charcoal for the grill! There were well placed notes to communicate guest expectations and responsibilities, and we had plenty of room for our family of 7 adults and one grandchild. The beach was our grandchild's favorite spo and there were even some sand toys for them to use. We also enjoyed the kayaks and supplied life jackets. We took a short drive to Jack's restaurant which we recommend, went to visit the local lighthouse just down the road, and also checked out an amazing custom knife store! The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had which mad our experience even more enjoyable.

Cozy Home with Gorgeous Views
Our family had such an amazing weekend at this cozy, yet spacious home on the bay. The views are incredible and we spent tons of time outside soaking up the sunshine and beach glass hunting. Jeni was so responsive and a pleasure to use this terrific place.

NICE LAKE COTTAGE
Really enjoyed this place. Only downfall is distance from everything. Actually that may have been the best part. It was quiet and peaceful with deer and blue jays galore. Even saw an eagle family hunting along the coast in front of the cottage.
