Huron Horizons - Magical Sunsets & Four Seasons of Recreational Opportunities!

Magnificent sunsets over Lake Superior's Big Bay.

Our winter guests (cross-country skiers, snowshoers, hikers and those looking to curl up in a cozy cabin) will appreciate our plowed circle drive. We have a no-snowmobile policy at our cabin. We have nothing against snowmobilers, but we think our year-round neighbors might appreciate this.

For the protection of our cleaning personnel and guests during the 2025 rental season, we've built in a one-day cushion between check-ins.

Beautiful, two-bedroom cabin on Lighthouse Road in Big Bay, MI. As you walk in the front door you are greeted with spectacular views of Lake Superior through the living room bow window. Other custom windows bring in light and nature everywhere you turn. A custom-built circular staircase leads you up to the master bedroom with a king-size bed. You'll get spectacular views of Lake Superior from the Master Bedroom which includes a private bath and its own private deck. The downstairs bedroom has a full/full bunk bed. The upstairs loft provides additional views of Lake Superior, a cozy reading area, and with a queen sleeper sofa can double as a third bedroom. The cabin is well suited for four adults and two children.

The cabin has a well-equipped modern kitchen with a gas stove, a dining room table with seating for six, and two full baths. The downstairs bath has a tub/shower with tile surround and the Master Bedroom bath has a shower with tile surround. The huge wrap-around deck includes a screened-in gazebo to keep you away from the bugs, a gas grill, and a food prep area. The cabin also has a newly installed two-zone air conditioning system, with an outdoor compressor, to keep you comfortable during hot/humid weather.

“The Huron Mountains encompass the most wild and rugged territory in Michigan. It is a region of low, yet surprisingly rugged mountains, swamps, lakes, and high plateaus.” (Huron Mountains Summit Post) The Huron Mountain Range runs from the Marquette area north and west through Big Bay and beyond, and along with the sandstone cliffs of Salmon Trout Point provides a distant backdrop for sunsets over the bay. The large lot, 225’ of Lake Superior shoreline, gives you a wide-angle view of the bay to the west. Lake Superior has been telling her serene and rugged story for thousands of years, and each daily chapter (weather permitting) ends with a sunset over Salmon Trout Point. Every sunset you celebrate from Huron Horizons is one that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Yes, they are that special.

Make sure you set aside some time to explore Marquette during your stay. Marquette "Queen City of the North" is about a 30-minute, beautiful drive from Big Bay, and is perhaps the most picturesque city in Michigan. We're a little biased but we believe that to be true. Marquette has many wonderful shops and restaurants (our favorite being The Vierling which overlooks the Ore Dock and Marquette's beautiful Lower Harbor). While in Marquette we would also highly recommend visiting Presque Isle and allowing enough time to hike and explore this wonderful peninsula. The Marquette area provides tons of outdoor opportunities including year-round world-class mountain bike and cross-country ski trails.

Heaven
This home is so cozy with amazing views. We were able to see every sunset at the cabin. The home is much nicer than the photos on this website. I love staying at places where I cannot get cell reception. It forces me to get away from my work. This is a sacred space and I can’t wait to be back!

Family Vacation to Huron Mountains
Excellent property and everything you need for a week by the lake. Location is close to many hikes with a sandy beach and lighthouse nearby. Superb views of the lake from all main areas. We had no problem sleeping our three young children and having space for everyone to play and relax.

The location was quiet and remote. Perfect for our family to enjoy the beauty if Supervisor. A personal family favorite was having the windows open and falling asleep to the waves. Would definitely return to stay here again.

Wonderful Property!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Huron Horizons. If you're looking for a peaceful, private escape with woods and water, this is the place! The property location was perfect and the property itself was spotless and had everything you could possible need for your stay. Just bring your groceries and you're all set! Nancy was great to work with for any questions that we had. Would definitely recommend a stay here!!

Perfect fit!
I was tempted to not write how perfect this home was and keep it a secret, but my better side intervened. I cannot begin to say how perfect this home and all it's amenities are. It truly felt like a home away from home from the moment we walked thru the door. We trekked north to celebrate my wife's birthday and share some quality family time making memories! Every aspect of the home was exactly as promised and our host were attentive to any and all details!

We loved it
It’s a beautiful and cozy home to stay in. The sunset views and waterfront view was absolutely gorgeous. The ONLY thing this place is missing is a hot tub- that would have made my rating a 5/5. Host was very quick to respond when we had a problem with empty propane on the grill and made it right! We did have to supply lighter fluid as well as paper towels. It would have been nice for there to be stocked paper towels and toilet paper. We had a total of 3 adults and 2 children so by the end of the week we were almost completely out. The mosquitoes were really bad in the house but we made the best of it!

Amazing!
What an amazing property!! We visited at the beginning of April 2024. While most attractions we still closed for the season we were able to enjoy a couple of waterfalls, Marquette, and Houghton. Then the blizzard warning hit…so we were locked in for a day. Ummm ok- with the view from the living room I was happy to watch the storm roll in! And the sunsets….Shut Up! Amazing! The hosts were so kind and thoughtful checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. My husband is already looking at our calendar to decide when we can go back! ♥️

Huron Horizons
My family uses Vrbo extensively including multiple trips to Michigan and this now our second trip to the U.P. although the first to this area and property. This is the first time a property has felt like coming home. You can tell this isn’t a developer’s property but is instead the loved home of a family that allows others to use it when they’re not. A gas range and other quality appliances were a welcome surprise. We are all cooks at home and there’s no McDonald’s up here so a proper kitchen was great to have. Everything was just comfortable and welcoming and the views were excellent. We just appreciate the time so much.

Beautiful and relaxing really high damage deposit
We had a really great stay, very relaxing. The place is beautiful and well laid out to be spacious for a group. The kitchen was well equipped as we cooked most of our meals at the place. We really enjoyed the firepit and that firewood provided. The only thing to consider prior to booking is the extraordinarily high $5k damage depost that is collected a month before your stay and held by VRBO until 14 days after check out, which means for my weeklong vacation the damage deposit has been held for 8 weeks. They also offer a option to purchase damage insurance, I opted for the option where I could get my money refunded, but the deposit is far higher than I've ever had to pay for a rental.

Tranquility in Big Bay
This was our 2nd visit, and it was wonderful. The cottage is so well-cared-for, and they have thought of everything to make their guests feel at home. The place is so clean and windows are shiny. LOVE the windows. The mattress in the master bedroom is so comfy! I need to find out what the brand is. I hated to leave on the last day. Everything is so peaceful and tranquil there, and we saw so much wildlife—bald eagle, ducks, turkeys and so many deer! We counted SEVENTEEN one night at about 8:30 pm. Huron Horizons is my favorite cottage ever. Also, we tried a restaurant recommended by the owner in the guest booklet—The Vierling. It was great. Also loved the Iron Bay place in Marquette. We also ate at the Lumberjack Tavern and that is always fun. Hungry Hollow has a great little breakfast. Thank you for sharing such a lovely place with your guests.

Our Happy Place
We can't say enough about this rental. This is our second time staying and it was even better than the last. The house was incredibly clean when we got there and has all the amenities you would ever need. The property managers are friendly and available if needed. Our favorite part of the house is the view on the bay. Being able to wake up to the view, end our evenings with the beautiful sunsets, and go to bed with the waves crashing is enough to keep calling us back. My youngest son and I were able to watch an eagle hunt for fish and bring it back to the nest while we were paddle boarding one morning. We just can't say enough about this beautiful property. We understand why it is not, but if this was a dog friendly rental we may be forced to spend our whole summer UP there.

Perfect!
We've stayed at several nice cottages on various parts of the Lake Superior coasts, but this one was certainly the best. The house is beautifully designed and decorated, with great views from the living room, the deck, and the master bedroom and its balcony. We had no insect problems, but if we had, the lovely little screened gazebo-like structure out at the end of the deck would have allowed us to enjoy the outdoors in spite of them. The kitchen is among the very best appointed and stocked I've had the pleasure of doing a little cooking in. Terrific gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker, with every pot, pan and utensil you could want and plenty of great china, glassware and bowls. Plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out and very comfortable beds. We didn't use the TVs, but the internet service was excellent and the Bose Bluetooth speaker was much appreciated. Can't say enough good things about Nancy Gaines, the Property Manager, who made everything easy and pleasant. Would certainly happily stay again!

Best Stay Ever!
Our stay at Huron Horizons was fantastic! We spent the first week in November there, and we had a wonderful relaxing time. The cabin itself is beautiful, and the kitchen had nice pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, and appliances. They had every kitchen gadget we looked for, which was great. Also, this was the cleanest place we’ve ever rented. The windows have spectacular views of the lake, and the furniture was comfortable. We loved watching the sunsets over the lake from the chairs in front of the bay window in the living room. The fire pit area was very nice, and it’s just a few feet to walk to the shore from the back door of the cabin. We spent the whole week listening to the waves and star gazing at night, and we saw the Northern Lights on our last night there! This is easily the best place that we’ve ever rented.

We have always spent a week in this Beautiful,Perfect house ! But this year we spent two amazing weeks here ! We saw the Northern Lights three times the first week! We thought two weeks was going to be easier to leave but it was harder! We finally met Nancy and she goes above and beyond! The people in the neighborhood were so nice! We saw a loon,lots of deer ,chipmunks and a little red squirrel . We hiked and relaxed and decompressed from our stressful year! Thank you Jim and Ginger and Don and Nancy! You are the best!
