About this property

Quaint Cottage on the Sandy Shores of Lake Michigan

Our little cottage fondly named Bullwinkle Beach Cottage, is nestled in Ogontz Bay in Big Bay De Noc on Lake Michigan. 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.

Nice rustic cabin
This was a nice rustic cabin with the basics. It was not as secluded or private as I like, but it was quiet and a nice area.

Beauty on the bay
Lovely spot on the bay. Saw many eagles! Small cozy home to stay in the UP if you are looking for a pet friendly place. 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

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.
