Hideaway on Little Bay - close to boat launch, beach, restaurants and more

Welcome to Hideaway on the Bay

We are a very private cottage on Little Bay De Noc in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Tucked away at the end of a point, this fisherman's dream and family friendly home is close to many local shops and amazing outdoor activities. Enjoy your coffee with the sunrise and views. Kayak, fish, goose/duck hunt right out your back door. Plenty of space to play yard games and sit around the fire, or just enjoy the wildlife. There is something for everyone! So come, relax, and explore all the U.P. has to offer.

Our cottage is centrally located with easy access to many U.P. destinations. Nearby you will find beaches, Fayette State Park, boat launches, trails, local restaurants, wineries and breweries. You can also set off on day adventures to Kitch-itikipi (Big Springs), Pictured Rocks (Munising), Eben Ice Caves, Marquette, Grand Marais and more! There is no shortage of things to do and see in the area. Also, the Kipling and Rapid River boat launches, bait shops, and ice fishing rentals are located just a few miles away for easy access and gear.

Coming to fish? We are located at the head of the bay where 4 rivers meet (Whitefish River, Rapid River, Days River, Tacoosh River). You can fish for Walleye, Perch, Pike, Blue Gill, Bass and more. Direct access on site ice fishing, and dock access in summer months. We have a heated fish house for you to be able to clean your fish with plenty of room for everyone.

Follow us on IG @hideawayonlittlebay for more info!

Come and relax and enjoy!

NOTE: Dock and watercraft access are accessible from Memorial Weekend until Labor Day weekend.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

We enjoyed our 2nd stay on this property very much. So peaceful and quiet with amazing views where are kids could fish right off the dock. Great location with easy commute to waterfalls, mines, pictured rocks, and Marquette. House has everything you would need to cook meals and just kick back and relax. Looking forward to returning again next summer for a family get away.

Softball Tournament Perfection

We had a very wet weekend. But the hosts were fabulous to work with and were flexible with us when we thought we had to stay longer due to the games being pushed out from the rain. Would TOTALLY stay again if we were coming to the area. Very clean and welcoming. 10/10 stars for a family/chill weekend get away.

Spacious Hideaway

Great little hideaway on the lake. Went for a fishing trip with some family and I was in charge of finding a place to stay. Everyone complimented me on the find. Plenty of space for the group in terms of sleeping arrangements and common space for hanging out. Can't wait to book again next year!

At the end of a dead end road so only one neighbor. Very peaceful, beautiful view. Cabin felt more like a smaller home than an up north cabin. Older but very clean and they had everything. Awesome spot. We'll be back!

The location was beautiful. Right on the water where everyone could fish every day off the dock. Gorgeous sunsets. So quiet and peaceful. The house was just what we needed for a family of five and was fully stocked with all kitchen and bath needs. We will definitely stay here in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay. Everything was as expected or better. The only issue was the water level at the dock but we figured it out and fishing was great. I would certainly recommend staying here just be careful to watch for shallow water around this bay. I wish that I could add some photos but I don't know how. Thank you, Heather, for letting us use your cabin.
