Amazing property

The house was fantastic! It was as depicted in the listing and met all our expectations. The property was gorgeous inside and outside there was plush bedding, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful outdoor areas. They also left many extras that we don’t typically find in a vacation rental like various common spices, roasting sticks for s'mores and firewood. They did provide starter paper towels only so if staying a week you will need to bring some. I Iike that the owners allow people to take and leave items. That is also a plus and allowed us to utilize a few unexpected extras! I do recommend swimming in the Lake which was absolutely gorgeous. It was only a couple feet for a long way out and was sandy. It would be perfect for smaller kids/grandkids. We also rented kayaks and they were also fun. The host can connect you with a boat rental but we did not do that. The rental is only 25 minutes or so to the Mackinac island ferry and we went there several times. The outdoor and indoor spaces were amazing and this is an absolutely beautiful lake house. Everyone was more than pleased with our stay. It was better even than expected. I would not hesitate to rent again.
