Great place to stay in the U.P. About 20ish minutes from st ignace which was nice because we spent a day on Mackinac Island. Very peaceful and relaxing area. My kids loved the paddle boat. Plenty of space for our family of 4. We would definitely stay here again.

Lake property was beautiful. We definitely enjoyed the time outside. The inside could use updates. The showers were not desirable and the sponge to wash dishes was gross. Our children loved the games in the game room!

Great stay during our family trip to the UP! Our family loved the game room and lake in the background. Quiet and beautiful. There were leaches in the water so we stayed to the shore except when using the paddle boat and kayak. Also, the water smells like sulfur or copper but I’m guessing that’s due to the rural area so we didn’t mind.

We loved the location of this property. It was directly on the lake and faces West so you get a sunset view every night. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit but it was a bit too chilly to swim. The well water has a sulphur odor but the host provided bottles of water. We noticed the two kitchen chairs were broken so we swapped them out for other chairs. Also the outdoor chairs are cracked. Overall it was a great location for visiting st ignace and Mackinac. It was very quiet and the lake view is amazing.

The house was exactly what was promised as far as space. There was a lot of dish ware and pots and pans to use and plenty of linens. The view and access to the lake are stunning. I believe with a little TLC this property could go from good to wonderful. Some items were dated and a little worn out. The landscape needed some extra attention. It would also be very helpful to have instructions on how to use the heating in the house. Overall a good experience for all of us.

Overall it met the needs. We were there to fish. The cabin could use a few small upgrades to make it more convenient. I was hoping to park our fishing boat at the dock/stakes but the water was too low. The water is low on all lakes though.

We loved the variety of things to do here. The lake activities, rec room (ping pong table especially), and general area were a hit! The lake water was so clear and it’s amazing how shallow it is so far from the shore. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect home for my family of 4

This house was perfect for me and my family of 4. My kids (6 and 4) had a blast in the game room when we weren’t exploring Mackinaw and playing in the lake. It had everything we needed for a fun lake vacation.

Great location for us bc we did some day hikes and went to the island! Beautiful setting with the lake! I would say the tub/shower bathroom needs an update at least the shower head. nice to have two bathrooms but the tub/shower not so great.Tvs are a little out dated as we like to watch college football. We also had cold windy weather and some of the heating units had unique knobs and the kitchen one never worked. We stayed warm though without it! Kitchen chairs are also broken, the legs need some help.The “den” is a great bonus to hang out in! All in all our stay was great and the place worked for us!

Great place

We loved the location, quiet, views, and helpfulness of the property manager. We found the place a little beat up and not super clean, with a need of a few upgrades but only a few minor things... A solid value and very relaxing...

Right on the lake!

The property was exactly as described and had all we needed! It was wonderful to be right on the lake and enjoy the beautiful views and sounds! Close enough to town and Mackinac that they were easy to get to, but far enough away to feel like we escaped for a few days! Thank you so much!

Great area and cute cottage, BUT we all got swimmer's itch! I know that can't be helped, but I really wish we would have been warned in advance so we could have taken better precautions. It was a huge bummer - we were all super itchy and couldn't touch the water for the rest of our trip. The description of the property advertised great swimming in front of the house, which is not accurate with swimmer's itch in the water. My kids were so bummed to not be able to swim.I will say the cottage was cute and had everything we needed. All questions were answered in a timely manner and check in and check out was easy. Great location close to the bridge and Lake Michigan beaches.
