About this property

Enjoy beautiful Lake Independence 25-30 miles NW of Marquette, MI with a 3-bedroom lake cottage right on the southside of the lake with a sandy beach and dock. Pontoon not included, but there is an open boat slip on our dock (mid-June through mid-October). 2 kayaks are included.

Some of the best UTV, snowmobiling, mountain biking, and skiing trails along with backcountry snowmobiling in the U.P. are right in your backdoor. Fish for walleye, perch, pike, and bass on Lake Independence in the summer or winter!

Fall 2023 Update: We've widened the driveway of N3324 so there is plenty of room for snowmobile trailers, along with additional parking. We've also purchased the empty lot next door so there is even more room for parking.

Great Cottage!

Excellent location and views. Cottage has modern amenities such as central AC and heat. Nice decorated and very comfortable with large bathroom and a/d. Kitchen and bathroom both extremely well stocked. Loved having use of two kayaks and the fire pit, although we didn't use, is a great bonus. We enjoyed our usual Big Bay Area activities and hope to be return guests. Lee, the host, responded very quickly to questions and is extremely friendly and professional as a VRBO host. Thank you!
