Quiet and relaxing

Property is about 20 minutes away from amenities and the pictures are outdated, but no issues other than that. Not far from a trail staging area and lake levels are high, so water was close to the fire pit. Will stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Nov 2020
Thanks for the review. The owner had recently installed new counter tops, so you are correct in saying the pictures are outdated. Water levels have risen for the past few years, so again you are correct saying the fire pit is close to the water.

Stargazer cottage

Very beautiful views on a quiet peaceful dead end road! It’s about 25 minutes from the town area. The house was everything we hoped for! We enjoyed our family vacation at this location! Things we enjoyed was bike rides and bon fires at the cottage, we did the indoor putt putt with the kids at The Rock, off-roading to fossil ledges, the public beach close by, boating and fishing, seeing a bear and enjoying the small shops and restaurants!

Clean and great view

Clean property. Nice views of the lake. Accurate description. Secluded quiet location. Only complaint and complaint is a too strong of a word is the water has a lot of iron in it, a lot. But that would not stop us from staying here the next time we are on the island.

Great UTV getaway!

We came to experience the island on our UTV. Great timing between Jeepers weekend and Memorial day. Island was relatively quiet (great for us) and so was the lakeshore. Great spot to connect with the end of the UTV trail or sit on the deck and take in Lake Huron. House was everything we hoped for, clean quiet and quaint. South side of island is a little breezy compared to the rest. Thank you for great accommodations.

Jeep event getaway

This was a nice property to relax on the water! Aside from my husband driving thirty mins each way to his Jeep event we enjoyed this place. It did however not get cleaned very well from the last people as we found random stuff under tables and there was dog hair all over the carpets. Otherwise it was a great home! Would come back here again!

Hi Amanda, We are concerned to here you felt the home was not cleaned very well. Please know, you can call the office if you have any issues when you are here and we will rectify them. We will be addressing this with the cleaner. Glad you enjoy the home otherwise. Please note, we have other homes closer to your event if needed next time.

Sisters’ Unplugged Weekend

We loved the location close to the trails. The view of the lake from the house was beautiful. We enjoyed watching and listening to the waves crashing in. The limited cell service at the house was a plus for us, we did take advantage of the WIFI for texting. The house shows some age on the decks, however the interior appears to have been recently updated. We would definitely rent again and recommend to family and friends.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jul 2023
So glad you enjoyed your stay. We are trying to bring the decks back to a natural (no stain) as the sun erodes the stain so quickly. So we have left them unstained and are waiting for the prior stain to go away. Yes lots of great updates at this home. New beds, carpeting, flooring, stove refrigerator and counter tops.

Beautiful waterside retreat

This property is right on the water! You can look out the back sliding glass doors and see a beautiful view of the lake. You are also far enough away from any neighbors to have peace and tranquility, but are still just a 15 minute drive to the center of the island where all the business are located. Wonderful home on a beautiful island! There is not much cell service on the island, so be prepared for that.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Star Gazer and your time on the Island. You are correct, AT&T seems to be the best carrier for the Island. With that said, once 1/2 way across the Island on the south side, there isn't much cell service. Just a spot here and there. This home has a landline phone for emergency use and Wi-Fi for Wi-Fi calling and texting.

Shooting stars are amazing!

Clean and comfortable cabin! Great internet and awesome view! We really enjoyed our stay. There was both a nice fire place inside and firepit out by the lake. We saw 2 Bucks and a mama bear and cub crossing the road. The neighbor showed us a video of a Moose in the woods just 2 doors down that happened while we were there. Totally a fantastic experience. The serenity of the water and woods are relaxing and unforgettable. Awesome huge deck to hang out on! Hope we can come back again soon!
