Our family stays in a different location for our summer vacation every year. This charming house is at the top of our list. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings...except for us when we were playing in the water. The front porch was my favorite place to be ... especially in the mornings. A couple of loons flew right over our heads when we were in the lake. The house is furnished with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Day trips to Mackinaw and St. Ignace completed our vacation.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Matt and Lesley, Here are a few highlights --My 10 yr old son was thrilled to catch two smallmouth just north down your lakeshore; one was 20". The waterskiing was unexpectedly good so skiing was on flat water. We did have a great family vacation and thanks for the opportunity to use your place. Thanks,Dan
