This was a nice, clean rental house with great access to the water. We loved using the kayaks, and the local art on the walls was a nice touch. Could have used more towels (only 4), and a scrubby to clean dishes by hand.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin on the lake. The place was super nice, clean, peaceful, and very relaxing. The lake views made it even more special, and it was the perfect getaway to rest and enjoy nature. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it!

Over all, the property was just like the listing. However the amount of mosquitos inside were insane (not the owners fault, that’s just what happens when you’re in an older cabin.) when they say bring bug spray they meant it! Didn’t have any issues and we enjoyed our peaceful weekend on the water

Great location and lovely setting. This was a well stocked cabin with all the necessary items to make for a comfortable stay. Very easy access to area attractions, a great home base for day trip travels. Being directly on the water was a super peaceful place to have coffee in the morning and lay on the dock at night to sky watch.
View from the dock in the morning
View from dock. Water is very clean, just naturally reddish from the tannins of the local soil. Good swimming conditions.

The cabin was very cozy and located on a beautiful lakefront just 10 minutes south of Mackinaw City. Great lakeside amenities, spacious enclosed patio, and interesting artwork throughout. Blustery weather kept us from using the lakefront seating area during our stay but overall the cabin was perfect for everything else we did that weekend.

Lakefront cabin

This was a beautiful stay for my family and I. We were in town for a couple days to visit Mackinac Island. The cabin was spacious and clean. My dad an I also enjoyed the opportunity to take the kayaks out on the lake. Would stay here again.

Nice Cabin Stay
