This VRBO property was amazing beyond our expectations. Something for every one of all ages to do. Found the listing of amenities to be accurate; best well stocked, beautiful home inside and out we have rented! We were blessed with beautiful weather, walked the Mackinac Bridge, ride bikes enjoyed it all! Awesome view across Lake Huron of Mackinac Island! Pleasantly surprised to see since we had just come off the island! Highly recommend this home!

Excellent well appointed home. It was the perfect balance of not overly cluttered but nice decorative feel. The place had quality items that were both easily usable but not so cheap and frail you were afraid to use as rental properties frequently have. Everything worked as the directions said, and the abundance of activities at the property were more fun than Mackinac City. In summary, one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Fantastic location, wonderful home. Plenty of amenities, and the host was very communicative and available. The house had lots of room to spread out, and we enjoyed the well-equipped game room as well as the kayaks, paddle boards, and hot tub. Our favorite times were probably sitting by the lake as a family. Highly recommend!

Tom and Linda were great host. Extremely responsive and accommodating. The property has a gorgeous view of Mackinac Island. They provide a lot of "toys" --- kayaks, bikes, paddle board, croquet, etc. We will definitely be back.

This property is even better than the description and listing! Just wonderful amenities and toys and we kept discovering more as the week went on. We never once said “we wish they had a……”. Has everything you could ever want. The kitchen has great appliances and gadgets. Don’t be concerned that the owner is on the property…we never saw or heard them, but they were VERY responsive when we asked questions. We had four couples and one slept in the loft which was a little tricky because of the noise from below.

Wonderful Stay

House was even more wonderful than promised. Owners were very communicative but also allowed our party complete privacy. My sister in law happened to see one of the owners by chance and she was lovely. There is so much on the property that kept the teens and adults in our group busy the entire time. Would love to rent the property again in the future. Beyond pleased with our stay.
