We had a great time. The property is exactly as listed. The view was absolutely beautiful Mackinaw city is just minutes away. We would definitely stay again.
Loved this property. Very clean, it had everything we needed, only thing we would recommend is a CO detector in the home. Even though the add says no CO detector. Thank you for sharing you beautiful place with us!!
The porch with the view of the lake was pure Michigan
We took a short family trip and spent all of our time at the cabin on the porch or asleep. The view was amazing for both sunrise and sunset. We saw sailboats, heron, an a bald eagle that landed a fish. We took the kayaks out on the lake. We played Euchre and relaxed as we took in the lake and all the colors of the sky. We even looked up to see the Milky Way and stars at night. The only downsides were the muck on the lakeshore and the mosquitoes...but those are all part of nature and the porch keep them at bay. The inside was clean and comfortable too!
We initially booked the trip & then was notified that our reservation had been cancelled due to the property being sold. Fortunately, the new owners honored our booking & even honored the previous pricing, without hesitation. The property was great. Somewhat secluded. Right on the shores of the lake. The house was very clean & had everything we needed, and more. The owners were pro-active in providing info for everything we needed. I just wish we would have scheduled more time, so we could have spent time at the property. We were always on the move during our stay. If we go back, we will stay here!!
