My husband and I stayed at Summer Winds in August of 2016 and it was just a fantastic cottage! All the amenities are there. EVERYTHING you need is here! The cottage itself is well appointed and decorated beautifully inside. Loved the flow of the place too. The kitchen was stocked with anything you need to cook and clean up. We utilized the blender for making margaritas to enjoy in the hot tub. YUM! Most of our meals were eaten out though because we were touring the U.P. a lot during our week there. The amenities outside include a swing, HUGE deck with a hot tub, and fire pit, all with a stunning view of St. Ignace and the straights of Mackinac. The only thing we didn't get to use was the fire pit because the fire danger was very high when we were there. There's ceiling fans in every room and they really cool the place down when it gets a little warm.

The city of St. Ignace is just the perfect little tourist town. Not too big, not too small. So cute and clean. We attended concerts down on the marina one night. So fun! They also have movies outside during the week and fireworks on Saturday nights during the summer. Just beautiful to see over the bay! And of course there are many, many restaurants and shops to visit in downtown St. Ignace. Our favorite was the Mackinac Grille. Very good food there, nice little patio to sit on, and a salad bar that is to die for!!

Like I said we toured the U.P. most of the week and St. Ignace is not a far drive from the places we visited. Tahquamenon Falls, Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, lighthouses, Pictured Rocks, I could go on and on. Our favorite spots to visit though were Mackinac Island, and Fishtown in Leland. There is no end to the sights to see and things to do!

I have to commend the owners for the excellent customer service they give! When we got there the internet was not working. While it wasn't that big a deal for us, both of them were practically jumping through hoops to fix it. It was working fine by the time Monday came around. Also, when we walked in the cottage there was a beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas on the dining room table. Such a nice touch! Kudos go out to their housekeeper for a great job! The place was sparkling clean!

Well, this isn't the shortest review here but I had to relay how wonderful this place is and how it's vantage point is a BONUS! Sunrises and sunsets can be seen from Summer Winds. And they are stunning!! Thanks for sharing this cottage with us!!
