Description of the Brimley vacation cottage rental
Just outside the ground floor awaits a large gas grill for meals and a separate sauna open year round which quickly warms the whole family. A large private outdoor hot-tub has a spectacular view, often lit by moonlight bouncing off of the water, also available year-round. Kayaks, a canoe, fishing poles and snowshoes are available to use upon request for the athletic minded. Bring your bikes to enjoy a fantastic biking and hiking trail surrounding the lake starting right next to the house. The beach is available for sunbathing, volleyball, or even large bon fires weather permitting.
Perfect for water-skiing and tubing, Monocle Lake is warm and invites all ages to swim any time of day or maybe jump off of the dock. A short walk around the corner, access to the beach of Whitefish Bay of Lake Superior provides a very different lake experience with wind and waves ideal for any water fun!
Washer & dryer and dishwasher are inside for your convenience. A small party store with gas is a 2 mile drive, with a larger service station at 8 miles, and a moderate size grocery store about 9 miles away. ATV, boat, and snowmobile rentals are often available in Brimley town, just 5 minutes from the property. If Brimley doesn't have it, you won't need it to enjoy your vacation!
Area Information
In Sault Ste Marie, 20 minutes away from the property location, historic sites such as the Soo Locks, River of History Museum, and Tower of History can be investigated, ending with a walk down "fudgie lane". You can enjoy the Sault's 40,000 sq foot Kewadin Casino or visit Canada via the International Bridge (passport required). Forty-five minutes south sits St. Ignace where a ferry can be taken to Mackinaw Island, or you can cross the Mackinac Bridge to visit Fort Mackinac, an 18th century fort originally built to protect the Island.
And if fluff and snow is your thing, enjoy over 6000 connected snowmobile trails that pass right through downtown Brimley or ski the biking trails cross-country. Whatever your pleasure, anything but traffic and crowds awaits you as you relax in your log-cabin getaway in the UP!

Definitely a repeat vacation!!
August 27, 2012
The pictures on this website were gorgeous but when we go here it was even better!! The weather was beautiful, the lake was clean, clear and gorgeous and the house was spotless, beautiful and tastefully decorated! This is the type of vacation where you actually relax! The dock was perfect for sitting on and reading a book while the kids were swimming. The canoe was used every day for fishing and checking out the rest of the lake. Hiking trails around the lake got used. The fire pit on the beach was perfect for roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. Everything here was top of the line including the grill, lawn chairs and the house itself. This is one vacation you won't regret going on. Oh, if you want some wave action, just drive east on the main road about 10 miles to Big Pine overlook and enjoy the gorgeous Lake Superior beach. We will be back!!

Peaceful....
September 28, 2011
Stay the week of September 19th...very peacful and relaxing. The owner lives above; however, this was not a problem at all with regard to privacy...we barely saw him and did not hear him! The lake is beautiful and clean. Had a ball fishing for bass (and releasing)...used the canoe and took a walk around the lake. Nights are so quiet and tranquil. Visited Taquemenon Falls, Mackinaw Island, The Shipwreck Museum, and took the Soo Locks Boat Tour - recommend all of it...the "Falls" were just lovely...both upper and lower. House is well equiped with everything you need. There is a Super WalMart in Sault Ste. Marie for all your grocery needs at a reasonable price. We were celebrating our anniversary so at the owner's suggestion we dined at Arturo's in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Oh my...what an AWESOME italian dinner!!! Pricey but worth every penny! We would gladly return to this cabin if we find ourselves in the UP in the future and will certainly recommend it. Hot tub was a definate plus!

Fantastic getaway
August 22, 2011
Our family enjoyed this beautiful place. We all took turns using the canoe and kayak that were available for our use. The view was spectacular and the hospitality amazing. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone wanting a great northern escape. It is close to everything and you can still enjoy lake superior even though you are nestled in on a private smaller lake. We made some lifelong memories on our stay.

Beautiful Home
July 11, 2011
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It is a beautiful home and well maintained. Everything was so clean. This home is located so that we were able to go for day trips and short trips during our stay. However our favorite parts were swimming in the lake, boating on the lake and fishing in the lake. We very much enjoyed our visit to the Bear Ranch. It is a beautiful home and a pleasure to work with Barb. She was very helpful since we really didn't know the area. She patiently answered all of our questions. I would recommend this home to others.

The best vacation value in Northern Michigan
June 27, 2011
The lower level of the house on Monocle Lake, which was exactly what was advertised, was in perfect condition when we arrived. The furnishings were very tasteful and matched the log construction of the home. The appliances were in like new condition and as clean as could be imagined. The all wood interior was also in beautiful shape. The setting on the lake was second to none. The home faced state owned land and was the last lot before the state forest property began. The state property which abutted the lot was a beach that had no parking available so was only used by a few local residents. You could only see the cabin next door if you walked onto the dock. We caught many large and small mouthed bass from the dock, the canoe and the kayak that were provided. The gas grill was in very good shape and I could not find one thing that was advertised that was not high a quality as could be imagined.-including the hot tub. It is only a one mile walk to a lighthouse and just a few minute walk to Lake Superior. If I were ever to return for a stay in the Brimley or Saulte St. Marie area I would stay here again.
