We were happy to have found this place away from the hotels and people. We came for the Mackinac Bridge Run/Walk and knew we would be dealing with crowds on Labor Day weekend. Here, we had space to park, knowing our rental car wouldn’t get dented, a private apartment with views of the water to relax in and a location that was a quick 2 minute walk down hill to shops and the farmers market. Grocery store is only a 3 min drive. It’s comfortable and had everything we needed. It even has its own cleaning supplies. My husband said he wished the bed was a little newer and he wasn’t super comfortable but I haven’t slept better in months so I guess that’s a personal preference. We were especially happy that it had dishes, pots and pans, silverware and cooking appliances like a toaster, microwave and full stove/oven. I made breakfast in the morning so we could eat in peace and not be surrounded by a bunch of other hovering hotel guests and be on a breakfast schedule. The host, Mary, responds to messages through the app and is very friendly. There is even a self-pay tiny homegrown farm stand in the driveway which was a cute extra. The tv has Hulu which we appreciated and the room has several options for lighting from dim to well lit. It would have been nice to have another side table on the other side of the bed. The railing and stairs may creak and give you a splinter so just be careful.Map initially took us somewhere else up the hill. Mary says use Google Maps. I agree. Pack water!
