Communication with Tim was great! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we could possibly need. We loved the location - very close to Headlands Dark Sky Park, Mackinaw City, and Wilderness State Park. We loved relaxing on the beach!! It was a fantastic place!

There was an issue with our reservation but the host was able to offer us a different house to stay in. He was so great to deal with and we loved the area, especially the beach!

Fantastic time with kids and grandkids. On the lake with nice beach but only 10 minutes to Mackinaw City. Everything provided for the beach including kids toys and kayaks. Beautiful sunsets.

Our family had an amazing stay at the "lighthouse" lake home as my kids called it :). The home was well maintained and beautiful. The house is right on the beach which is all sand and shallow for a long ways out making it perfect for our kids. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy Mackinaw City area!

This was a great property for our yearly girls trip. We spent most of our time outdoors on the deck or the beach, enjoyed the provided kayaks and walking up and down the sandy beach. It was minutes to town, but has a secluded feel. The Northern lights were a great conclusion to our stay. Tim was very responsive to our questions, resolved an issue very quickly, and was never intrusive.

We stayed at this property on a fall trip with my daughters and granddaughter to go to Mackinac Island for this first time. This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. I can’t say enough great things about it. The owners thought of every little detail that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house was nicely furnished, equipped and clean. The lake view is amazing. It was quiet and peaceful. The owners were very accommodating and communicative. We will definitely be back!

Great place to stay

We were there for our son's wedding at the Headland park in October. The convenience was great. The house was much more that I expected. We enjoyed it so much that we would love to come back but our whole family is to large to rent here.

Lake Michigan charmer

We (3 married couples) had a lovely time. The cigar smoker halves of the couples loved sitting by the lake and smoking and watching the sun set. The hosts and their daughter were extremely helpful. There are lots of stairs, so be prepared.

Beautiful home right on Lake Michigan!!

This home looks newly renovated and is absolutely beautiful!! We loved having the windows open and listening to the waves all week. It is a very quiet location with hardly any one on the beach. The house is fully stocked and the Owner is amazing to work with!! Highly recommend this property.

Perfect Getaway

The house was perfect for our family vacation, and the hosts were super responsive. The house was cozy but still gave everyone space. The lake is right out the back door and town is a short drive away. Any guests with mobility issues should not underestimate the number of stairs. Overall a pretty perfect location for a summer get away.
