The views of the bridge are amazing from this property. The host was very easy to communicate with and gave me all the information about checking in before we arrived. I was traveling with two dogs they liked the big yard to sniff around in. The property is convenient to Mackinaw City and St Ignace. Great experience would highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay here! The view from the living room is great. The house was well stocked from garbage bags to spices to firewood. It was clean and as described. There was plenty of space both upstairs and downstairs and enough seating in the kitchen for 8. It is in a great location if you want to visit Mackinac Island or if you are exploring the UP.

Ideal location close to the Straits

We were up for the Mackinac Bridge Antique Tractor crossing and enjoyed it stay so much! Everything that we could have needed was provided and we loved being so close to the Straits. We also really enjoyed watching the freighters going past

Relaxing post Christmas getaway

This was the perfect place to stay for a winter getaway to the beautiful U.P. The location is minutes from the grocery and a nice central home base for hiking and sight seeing. The house is huge and can accommodate up to 8 adults. There is ample cooking space and the owners really made us feel at home with the small details and amenities they offered! Definitely worth the booking. We’d love to visit during the busy summer season!

Well-equipped and clean

Nice 4-bedroom home, close to St. Ignace. This is the best equipped house we have rented. They even have stuff for pets. Furnishings were in good shape and comfortable. We were there during a heat wave. There were air conditioner units that would be more than adequate under normal conditions but were not up to the task during the unusually warm conditions. We called the owner who immediately brought a couple of fans and that helped. Even with the high temps we were able to sit out front and watch the ships travel from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. Across the road is a great place to view the bridge. Despite the heat, a good experience.

The Lokken Family

This property was a good fit for our family of 8 adults. It was nice to have a bathroom on each level. We split the bathrooms between upstairs and downstairs couples. The extra downstairs space was also nice for storing our extra items (coolers, etc.)There was just one issue that came up. The air conditioner exhaust hose (on the upper level) was disconnected when we arrived. The duct tape holding it to the window vent was not a secure fit. We tried to reattach the hose but had no success. Then my husband found extra duct tape in a closet and used more tape to secure the hose to the window vent. The hose stayed in place for the duration of our stay and kept the upper level cool and comfortable. Thank you for your hospitality.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 24, 2025
So sorry to hear about the exhaust hose. I wish you would have said something. I would have came right over and fixed it. I tell every guest I only live 6 miles away and let me know if something ever comes up needing my attention.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Bawol

Host profile image

Me and my wife purchased this home because of the view of the lake! Just being 3 miles from Saint Ignace made it the perfect location for a short term rental. We live just 3 miles from the house ourselves and are always available for questions or concerns.

Why they chose this property

The view of the Lake Michigan freighters is what sold us on the home!

What makes this property unique

There are no other houses around this one making it peaceful, super easy to find being on US2. You are just close enough to get to Saint Ignace in a few minutes. Being centrally located also makes day trips to Sault Sainte Marie, Paradise, Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls, or Munising just a hour or more.
