Great location right on the lake!

Enjoyed our stay at the simple lake house with beautiful views of the lake and our own steps down to the rocky beach. Great location for us as we hiked in both Munising (PIctured Rocks) and Marquette (Sugar Loaf Mountain). Not fancy, and some old worn furniture, but comfortable, quiet and hard to beat the views.

Thank you for review and for leaving the place so clean! I am glad you got to enjoy the view and some of the beautiful spots in the area. We have 3 couches that were purchased brand new and put in the lake house last year. We have a new table and accent chairs on order from Wayfair. The dishes, pots and pans, and silverware are all new this summer.

Great location, right on Lake Michigan

We had a great time staying here. The location was perfect, about 20-30 minutes from either Marquette or the Munising / Painted Rocks area. The house is right on Lake Superior and the kids loved swimming every day. For a warmer swim, which the adults appreciated, Deer Lake is an easy walk just about 200 yards away and has a wonderful sand beach.

Lake House

Great location with many options for hiking, sightseeing and boating all being only a short distance away. The house was spacious enough for six adults, nothing too fancy but had everything we needed and was very clean. It's a great spot on Lake Superior and also has a very nice sandy beach across the street. The host, Sara was also very nice and helpful.

Great home base!

Centrally located for all of our activities. Fantastic sunrises out the living room window. Very clean, plenty of room inside the rental. We would definitely rent this property again. This is part of a charter boat rental “resort” with lots of other smaller cottages which we weren’t expecting upon first arriving, but we loved the location and felt very comfortable here.

Thank you, Linda! We appreciate your kind words and are glad you enjoyed your time here! I am sorry that it wasn't clear in the listing about the lake house being adjacent to the resort. It is mentioned. I will update the listing to make it clearer. Thanks for your valuable feedback that helps us continue to improve :)

Beautiful lake front retreat

I’m very glad I booked this lake house. I was planning a UP trip that had some flexibility and I wanted a lake front place and this did not disappoint. The sounds of the waves hitting the shore was second the actual view from the moment you step in! House was clean and spacious. Located conveniently between Munising and Marquette for day trips and the host provides information on places to see and visit!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Kimar

Host profile image
Kimar's Resort was built by Al Kimar in 1945. Originally the property contained 6 small cottages. We still have 3 original cottages and 4 other rental units including the Lake House that are newer or upgraded. Our resort is currently run by Al's son Dave Kimar, his wife Chris, their 4 daughters, and 4 grandsons. We have kept the family business for over 70 years and will continue to do so as long as God is willing!

Why they chose this property

We are located in a small bay on Lake Superior, sheltered from the lake's harsh winds.
Shelter Bay truly offers shelter to all who come here. We have 2 kayaks and 2 canoes available right outside the Lake House for kayaking in the bay where you can see a family of eagles that nest nearby. It is also great for rock collecting! The full moon rises right out the front window of the Lake House. Directly across the highway, you can swim, cookout, or watch the sunset at Deer Lake. We are a short drive from sandy beaches. We also have a charter fishing business on site if you are interested in catching some Lake trout to cook on the gas grill in the community pavilion or on your private charcoal grill. This is a down-to-earth property; we have many boats on site and a number of other guests. Friends from the resort often times gather at the campfire and share a beer and some laughs under a moonlit sky. If you want an authentic Yooper experience this place is for you.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous lake view
Located on 2 lakes (Lake Superior and Deer Lake)
Kayaks and canoes provided
Firepit with wood provided
Community pavilion with gas grill and picnic table
