About this property

Raber Bay Retreat**Waterfront**kayaks,dock

Cozy and clean waterfront home on Raber Bay. Enjoy the view from the large living room windows, front deck or lawn. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, boating, birdwatching and more in a peaceful setting. The shoreline is a mixture of rocks, sand and clay. Water shoes are recommended.

This amazing getaway is positioned at the end of a short, private road. The driveway is circular and there is ample parking for vehicles and trailers. The home is conveniently located between the 2 public boat launches in Raber. A private boat launch is just down the road for a minimal fee.
The home is equipped with WiFi and a smart TV in the living room. A mini split air conditioning unit cools the main living areas of the home. Each bedroom has a fan for your comfort.
***During the winter, Raber Bay can be accessed from the property by snowmobile, cross country skis or snowshoes.
During warmer months (when the ice is gone!), a dock is on site for your small fishing boat. 4 kayaks and 2 paddle boards are available for guests to explore the nearby island, shore line and bay. An outdoor firepit is available for guests to enjoy. Firewood is provided for guests.

Donald and Missy have a beautiful place on the far eastern edges of the UP! The house is extremely clean and well appointed. The kayaks and life jackets were all in very good shape. Communication was easy and the hosts were very gracious even when we needed to reschedule the first time. We hope to come again!!

Beautiful sights and sounds here! Well appointed and very tidy. Great to have kayaks and paddle boards to easily take out and enjoy. Pet friendly—dogs loved the yard and water as much as we did. Hosts responsive and very accommodating. Highly recommended.
