About this property

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.

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!
