Amazing!

We had a great time at this cottage! The proximity to the lake is exceptional. The towels and bedding were of great quality. The house was clean and all essential supplies were there in abundance. The cottage was super close to Mackinaw City and we went into town every day. The communication was superb the best I have ever experienced. She kept us updated on ice conditions and great places we could visit if we weren't able to get out on the ice. We were able to ice fish but also visited the recommended sites and had a great time exploring in and around Mackinaw. We are hoping to come again in the Summer!

Wonderful getaway

This cottage is homey and relaxing. It was quiet which was great after all the holiday hubbub. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The property owner responded to all my messages promptly. The lake is absolutely beautiful. We are talking about going during the summer months so my husband can fish. Thank you so much!
