We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. Our hosts made sure we had an open line of communication in case we needed anything, but everything there was as advertised and we had not one issue. The house was clean and welcoming, the view was amazing, the hot tub was clean and easy to use, and we could not have asked for a better experience.

The house was very well appointed, very clean and comfortable. We brought our boat and went all the way to Burt Lake to Bois Blanc and Mackinaw Islands (different days) The location was peaceful, beautiful easy to navigate and the hot tub was a perfect way to end (or start) a cool fall day. Within driving distance to so many great areas as well. The hosts were fantastic! We would certainly stay here again.

The home was perfect for two couples. The kitchen was very well equiped with just about anything you would need to prepare a meal. The living room furniture was very comfortable for watching a movie after a day of sight seeing or outdoor activities. Complimentary popcorn was a nice touch! Only wish we had more time to use the kayaks and hot tub.

The home was absolutely perfect! We all felt so welcomed. The location was ideal, nice dock as we brought a boat, an added bonus that the location was close to a launch. The hot tub was nice after a cooler day on the water. The home was stocked with all the little things which was appreciated.

Perfect location and lots of amenities

Our group as a whole was impressed with the entire stay. The house was clean and the property is perfect for those who want to hang out by the river and float on tubes or who want to sit on the back deck, enjoy the view and soak in the hot tub. The host was also extremely responsive to all questions. We had the best time and certainly give this property 5 out 5 stars!

Wonderful house and property! Great river spot off on a quiet and peaceful canal. Weather was chilly so we didn’t have a chance to swim but the hot tub was perfect. Clean and well stocked house and the owner was very helpful and accommodating. We’ll be back!

Amazing experience!!

We came up to visit and spend some time in Mackinac and the UP. Melissa was amazing and we had everything we needed plus some!! From the provided coffee to the little touches she had for our family, everything was above and beyond. Our family had the most amazing time fishing, kayaking and just sitting by the fire. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!

Great Inland water way getaway !

The house was perfect for a boat weekend. We came via boat without truck and trailer. The dock was adequate to tie up our 25’ triton. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a wonderful touch after a rather cold and rainy boat ride back from Mackinac Island! We will be back! Great rental !

Excellent stay!

There are 6 adults (all 60 yes old) in our party. This year we didn't have the rec boat, just the fishing boat. Theh had a new dock. The location is perfect, a small canal just off the Cheboygan River. Close to Mullet Lake and Lake Huron. Everything is clean and we didn't want for anything! Very comfortable inside and a lovely deck available for outside. Cant go wrong! The hosts are great!
