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!

Thanksgiving hunting trip
The house, property and the area was wonderful. The family and I had a great thanksgiving meal and enjoyed all the area for all it has to offer. This is the second time staying at this home and it didn’t disappoint us.

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.

Amazing Stay!!!!
This property is even more incredible than the pictures show. We traveled with four small children and a set of grandparents. There was more than enough room for the eight of us. The view is breathtaking and fantastic beach access. The host Jeni was an incredible host and was so easy to reach. This is hands down one of the best homes we have ever stayed at in the last 10 years.

Nice house
This house is in a great location with a wonderful beach area, we spent a lot of time outside. The house has a unique layout that gives people more privacy, this was great for our group. My only complaint would be that the cookware and knives are old and there is not enough cups and glasses for everyone, plan accordingly.
