We are located only 5 minutes from the quiet, historic village of Nahma. Our beautiful beach sports picturesque views of the Garden Peninsula as well as small islands outside of the Bay. Our Cottage location puts you only a few miles from the infamous Nahma Inn Restaurant pub and Inn, and 5 miles from the second oldest golf course in Delta County, Nahma golf course. Nahma Golf course is a 9 hold 36 par Golf Course on the shores of Big Bay De Noc. Our location also locks you into an era best described as the good ole days. Locals are relaxed and taken aback, quick to wave and welcome. This quaint little cottage is rustic in flair but very clean and cozy with new linens and bedding. Plenty of space in our yard for kids to play, and for adults to "get away" from the noise of everyday life. There are 2 bedrooms with queen size beds and although we can sleep 4 people in our cottage, there is also a pull-out sofa available if you have a couple extra along for your trip. This simple cottage will give you the true up north, in the woods experience. For your adventures while visiting the beautiful Upper Peninsula, nearby we have the historic Fayette state park, a restored smelting village from the 19th century that located on the bluffs of the Garden Peninsula. Kitchitikipi is Michigan's largest natural fresh water spring located near Manistique. This is a must see if you are in the area, and is referred by many as the mirror of Heaven. If you head North for about a 45-minute drive you will reach Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Here you will find many adventures whether you hike, kayak, or boat, to see the natural beauty of Upper Michigan. ATV Trail is only a few miles away as well for you off road adventurers. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111290000/111281800/111281770/9a7affbc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunset Beach House on Lake Michigan with 230 feet of private sandy beach!

Cute, quiet cabin in the woods. Super comfy beds, nice place to stay, sunsets at the beach were beautiful. I highly recommended bring lots of bug spray but you are in the woods so its not suprising. Definitely had the cute cabin upnorth feel. Cabin was everything we needed and wanted. ##### brittney s. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela N. Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sisters Weekend Overall it was a great stay. We thought the inside of the cabin was actually cuter in person. It was a little disappointing how close the neighbors were considering the remoteness of the property but it was fine. Our 2 dogs LOVED playing in the shallow bay. There were some broken items (outdoor chair, shower door, missing towel bar, etc.) but nothing we couldn't maneuver around. Sent a list of these items to the property manager so they could be repaired for the next guests. Beds were very comfortable. Smart TV was a plus! Very quiet setting, beautiful tall oak trees, tons of deer tracks down by the water, great hiking nearby. ##### Angela N. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon C. Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location #### Could be better Cute little house with a nice layout. Unfortunately there are problems, most of them easily fixed. There is clearly a water leak in the kitchen ceiling, with mold. My allergies were bad the entire stay. The “doors” to the bedrooms were flimsy accordions that don’t close all the way. Without proper barriers between rooms, it’s hard to be on different sleep cycles. No darts for the dart board. The wood burner in the living room has a plastic log in it and doesn’t appear to be functional. The fire pit out back is great and there is firewood readily available nearby. The views of the bay are beautiful, great sunsets! There are nice hiking trails and cute towns in the area. Smart TV came in handy for a rainy evening. ##### Sharon C. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline M. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Memorial Day weekend Overall, our trip and our stay went well. We arrived a bit later than expected but came straight in to see what was in store. We and our children really enjoyed all the different variety of board games there were and we had fun playing darts and battleship! Some games were missing a few pieces but nothing major and the kids did not mind at all. I would say bring tons of bug spray because the mosquitoes are RUTHLESS. We spent our first night in the house, since we arrived later than preferred. Aside from a few things in the house being a little dirty, (the dishes were very dusty and you could tell the general upkeep was kept at a low par with there being a lot of spiderwebs and dead bugs in the corners of the doors and windows), we were able to manage with no issues. Also, a few items needed repairing like the kitchen counter, the shower door, the microwave door, the fireplace did not work, our tv remotes did not work and we did not have the batteries that the remotes needed (there were some AA batteries in a kitchen drawer but no AAA). But again these were just some superficial things around the house. The shower is small but we managed. Overall it was a great stay and I really enjoyed it. The small pathway from the house to the beach is great and we spent a large part of our first day out on the beach. Our dog and the kids loved every minute! ##### Jacqueline M.

Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The best part of this rental is the property is sits on. The bay is absolutely gorgeous and I loved catching the sunsets on the beach. The house itself is dated, nothing wrong with that, but be warned that if you are staying there peak summer and the nights are hot be prepared. Luckily mid August it was great sleeping weather. Another plus is that it's only 50 mins north up the nearby road to pictured rocks. We made two trips up there as one of the days got rained out. Absolutely gorgeous area, Michigan overall, imo is gorgeous. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dfc1f6f0-2d66-4a91-9355-cedaadb8d6db-1755716674617.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49887df7-9b40-4192-a999-111f4e9e58c1-1755716680096.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cb657fcd-d09a-4fee-9810-e17b80185c1c-1755716681315.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6fb1a153-1c45-4dae-9cd0-50b1544868e2-1755716682152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sofia B.

However pics don’t match actual listing. this is more for a group of guys on a hunting or fishing trip. we were greeted with a huge swarm of flies in kitchen and all over house. Yes we know it is up north, but little excessive. Plus spider webs in All corners from shower to bed rooms. Went to get a dish in cupboard to put water melon on and they were covered in sut or dirt. Lot of stuff in the place was broken and torn. Wouldn’t hurt to use a little tender loving care. Broken accordion doors, no darts for dart board, swing in back is broken, Went to use grill and so much grease on it would been easier to use fire pit. That being said place was good location. fire pit was nice. ##### Jenny O. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe L.

We did enjoy walking in the water, and our dog loved trying to look for fish.We did not hear from the manager about the code to get in until we called-- we were an hour away and the reception was bad, so it was a bit stressful. It would be nice to get the code a day before we left, so we wouldn't need to rely on spotty reception as we were on the way. The place was older and had clean sheets and towels, but could have been swept/dusted more. It says it is pet friendly, but then the check in details we received right before arriving stated that no dogs were allowed on beds/furniture. That isn't completely "pet friendly", since most people I know do allow this, and if you are leaving the cabin for dinner, then how do you know if your dog goes on the couch or not? We had a few blankets in the car that we brought in just in case. The place was further away from most dining options/gas stations (at least 20 minutes), but we did see lots of beautiful nature. ##### Julie V. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Katie E. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Needs Some Serious TLC The beach is nice and perfect for small children or dogs, but not for swimming, as it stays shallow about a mile out. The house was clean inside, but the general neglect of upkeep made for an uncomfortable stay. ##### Katie E. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### John R.

Jun 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Had a good time Other reviews have mentioned mosquitos, bring bug spray and they are not an issue! We only needed it when we were at the beach for sunset. The walk to the beach was comfortable (no long steep stairs). Beach was quiet and private, our kids/grandchild loved it! Kitchen-iti-Kipi and Pictured rock was gorgeous and we enjoyed walking Manistique. We found people in the area to be friendly and nice. Cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable, had everything we needed. ##### Merribeth C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shelley H.

I will say pretty much plan on zero service - internet 1 bar when you were lucky (my son trying to complete online homework!) But if you have nothing urgent, unplug and enjoy ##### Shelley H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kellie S., Ladysmith Jun 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful area and cute cottage! We had a great stay! With the fires in Canada and there being a red flag fire ban (we found that out after the fact, thanks to the neighbor who came by and kindly let us know) we couldn't spend much time outside around the fire pit or at the lake. The mosquitos were very bad during our stay and the outside furniture and grill were covered in dead mosquitos and spider webs. We utilized the kitchen instead. Which had everything we could need. We spent most of our time inside the cottage and in Rapid River at the farmers market and shopping around. This property is pet friendly and we were able to bring our two kitties along with us! Our teen is becoming a senior this year and this was a nice place to spend together as a family. ##### Kellie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chris S. Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy A strong mildew smell upon entering the home. No working electricity in the front bedroom. A broken sliding door in the second bedroom, completely split in two, offering no privacy. Multiple other broken or damaged items throughout the house.As we settled in, additional problems became apparent: A broken shower door and no working electrical outlets in either bedroom.Torn and missing window screens, making it impossible to open windows without letting in bugs. Poor overall cleanliness: dusty surfaces, dead bugs, cobwebs, and visible hair and grime in the bathroom. Photos from the listing did not match the actual condition of the property. Perhaps most concerning, one of our children stepped on a rusty staple protruding from the floor, which we documented in pictures and reported. The host responded by denying carpet was ever present, yet multiple staples remain in the flooring—clearly leftover from carpet removal. The advertised living room furniture was not in the home, and what was provided was stained and dirty. These issues go far beyond minor inconveniences and reflect neglect in both maintenance and guest safety. The listing was misleading, and the actual conditions fell well below reasonable expectations for a rental property. The list goes on but I only have so much space to list everything. A lot of potential but not enough care from the property owner. ![Staple son stepped on sticking out of the flooring. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/565ac4e4-e257-46b7-8080-b9c62e9a19b8-1752876637929.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Staples in flooring where the carpet never be was. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fcb05005-bb90-4484-b64d-42e198492660-1752876638781.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![cobwebs with the dishes.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de03266d-a4c3-4022-aa8a-93dd10681cd4-1752876639116.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirty cookware and appliances. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/69f7d3f4-b815-499b-af7f-416a1a062e5a-1752876639387.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris S.
