Beautiful and Relaxing Cabin

We enjoyed this cabin tremendously and the area as well. Loved hearing the waves right outside the window and enjoying coffee on the deck in the mornings. Campfires in the evening was always a wonderful way to end our days. Perfect distance from Mackinaw City for bike riding or Cheboygan for necessities from WalMart, etc.

Mackinac Island Trip

The home was well kept and very clean. They had everything you need for a week at the lake. Home was very clean and well kept. The shared fire pit was awesome, enjoyed watching the July 4th fireworks and meeting the other families that stayed on the property. Would definitely recommend this property if you want to enjoy a quiet lake front setting.

Nice cabin

The cabin and property was very nice and clean. Perfect for a weekend get away. We really enjoyed the firepit at night, and since everyone shares it, we made new friends. Due to no air conditioner, it was a little warm. But we managed.

Wonderful and relaxing.

Words alone cannot describe the amazing time we had at Birch Cabin #4. The view was spectacular and the cabin itself had everything imaginable. It was warm and inviting, clean, spacious and just plain wonderful. We all had a great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation spot. We will return again.

Perfect anniversary getaway!

My spouse and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The cabin itself was gorgeous, super clean, and very tranquil. For a cabin, it was very well appointed with a full kitchen (and everything you’d need to make meals), 2 bathrooms, and a nice basement with washer-dryer. The actual property is right on the beach, and incredibly well-maintained. The cabin is located in a cluster of other similar cabins, and everyone we met over the week was incredibly friendly, and the regulars gave us lots of good tips of what to see in the area. It’s located a bit off the beaten path of Mackinaw City, which makes it a perfect spot for enjoying stars at night as well (we saw a couple of shooting stars while sitting on the balcony)! I can’t say enough good things about the property and the managers, who provided lots of clear info leading up to our trip, and communicated with us a couple of times beforehand to make sure we got all of our questions asked. My spouse and I both agreed that this is very likely one of the best, if not the best, vacation rentals we’ve stayed in!
