We stayed at The Boathouse for 3 nights in July while in town for a family event.First, the positives: the location is fantastic, with beautiful views of Cedarville Bay from the deck. The kitchen has the basics, there is plenty of sleeping space, the master bed was very comfortable, and the nautical décor gives the house a unique personality. It also looks impressive from the water. Communication before and on arrival was very good.Unfortunately, the property needs significant attention. The exterior was filthy, with cobwebs, dirt, leaves, and broken items around the property. We arrived on a warm day to an unbearably hot house and spent nearly an hour trying to open old windows that either wouldn't open, had no screens, or wouldn't stay open. I understand A/C isn't typical in the UP, but functioning windows, screens, and airing out the house before guests arrive would make a huge difference.There were also numerous maintenance issues: a damaged sliding screen door, nonworking ceiling fan, broken blinds, shower door that wouldn't stay closed, sticking front door (easily solved with a wood plane!), torn furniture with exposed stuffing, and a cluttered boathouse. The house noticeably leans where it meets the boathouse, and the upper deck did not feel safe. Deck had a broken sink.I've stayed in many rustic cabins in Les Cheneaux, and rustic doesn't have to mean neglected. This property has a great location and concept but needs the care and some serious maintenance to match
