Endless Summer and Cool Winter on Big Shag Lake in Gwinn, Michigan with Sauna

Our quiet 4 bedroom, three bath home has 2022 square feet of living space with100 feet of water frontage on Big Shag Lake. The walk in beach has no drop off and is great for kids and adults alike. You'll love our western sunsets directly across the lake while relaxing under the gazebo or on the huge deck. A roll in dock is available for launching your own boat and we provide all the toys and accessories expected with lake living. A Weber charcoal grill, a propane gas grill and smoker are available for your outdoor cooking needs. We even have a 6 person cedar barrel sauna for use!

Only 5 miles from downtown Gwinn, 25 miles from Marquette, 40 miles from Munising and most importantly only 1 mile to the fabulous UpNorth Lodge!

Great for vacationers wanting to hit central Upper Michigan’s ATV, snowmobile, and ski trails or venture out on day trips to beaches and waterfalls! Fish for bluegill, perch, bass and northern pike just feet from the back door and deck.

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!!

Our Special Family time
We had a great stay at Carrie's place! Beautiful westerly sun set views. We loved hanging out at all the outdoor places, even if it rains you can eat outside under the pergola! Well stocked kitchen, comfy places to hang out and play games. A really great place! Highly recommend!

Great family get-a-way!
This property has everything you could ever want for a vacation getaway. Everything is well stocked in the kitchen, linens, games, and outdoor activities. The only downside is the bedrooms upstairs. Three of them are upstairs—one is open to the stairs and the other two have doors, but are open to the living room/kitchen below. This would not be a problem, except we had babies who did not sleep well….so noise carries to all three rooms. If you don’t have small babies that may not sleep well, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back if it’s available when the grandchildren are older. I would highly recommend it!

Perfect Lake House
Amazing property! Our family of six adults aged 72-38 and two teenagers stayed here for a week, and loved every minute of our stay! We were never bored, and we all thoroughly enjoyed all of the water toys available (canoe, three kayaks, a paddle board, and 4 person pedal boat, plus floats, swim noodles and fishing poles). We could each be on the water doing our own thing, and at our own pace. Inside there was plenty of space for all of us, and lots of games to use. The house is less than 5 minutes from a small grocery store, and a delicious lodge restaurant that we ate at twice. The location is great; 20minutes drive from the Sawyer airport, and 35 minutes from Marquette. We ended every night on the porch and were treated to gorgeous sunsets almost every night. This property is exceptional, and such a gem!
