We enjoyed walks along the beach and the trail across the road. Halfway between Cheboygan and Mackinaw so everything is close. Beautiful view of the Grand Hotel in the island and Mackinaw Bridge. Perfect location. The house is plenty of space for a large group and is well appointed. Great stay.

Beutiful views!

Great beach house with wonderful lakefront views and Mackinac bridge views. Very comfortable, both living area and beds were very comfy... great place to unwind, and a short trip to the ferry...although, we would recommend paying the $4 to cross the bridge to St Ignace, and get on the ferry there... much quicker, no lines!

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Milner

Host profile image
Nathan and Stacey welcome you to Island View Shores! In the summer of 2017, while back in Michigan visiting family, we stumbled upon this home after three years of searching for the perfect getaway. We knew instantly the setting this home is in was one of a kind. The mature trees, calming sound of Lake Huron, majestic views of the Straits, Mackinac Bridge, and Mackinac Island provide tranquility that we fell in love with. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and that Island View Shores MI will provide you with a getaway to make life lasting memories year after year. Welcome to your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

The backyard and private beach is a hidden gem! The view of the Mighty Mack never gets old!

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for some space to get away, this is your place! You are close to both Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Cheboygan, and easy day trips to the UP to see the Falls. But this home provides you with enough fun for a quiet getaway to relax or with a house brimming with laughter and little ones needing to burn off energy. You'll love the spacious backyard with plenty of beach for everyone!
