It was a cute place; outdated, but expected that as the photos showed. The issue was there were ants and earwigs in the house. We notified the owner and she said thank you for letting her know. We didn’t stay our second night because of it, so we’re disappointed to cut our trip short.

Nice location

We stayed 2 nights on a multi-state trip and the location was great. You can enjoy Paradise Lake, you can use it as a base to enjoy Mackinac Island and the Great Lakes, or both. We had a campfire one night and had a great stay. Loved being able to wash our clothes before heading to the next location!
