About this property

5br 1 Ba Cottage In The Heart Of St. Ignace

Rustic 125yr old cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect family get away. The kitchen is well equipped and linens and towels are provided. The home has 5 bedrooms & 1 bath. There is a queen bed & private balcony on the upstairs master and a queen bed right off the living room in the downstairs master. There is a gas fireplace in the living room for chilly evenings, a flat screen TV with a dvd player, there are also many games, books and cards for your enjoyment. It has a large yard with lots of room for little ones to play. Look out of your glass enclosed porch with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and watch the ferries shuffle people to Mackinac Island. There is a public boat launch waiting for your boat 300 yards away. The cottage is in a perfect location for access to all the interesting points in the U.P. Only a few blocks I-75 or US-2 and only about a mile from the Mackinac Bridge. You can easily make day trips to Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks or Sault Ste. Marie, but don’t forget about all the happening in St. Ignace itself. Fireworks every Saturday (in season), movies in the park, music on the Bay, wine tasting in town, and so much more.

The house is very old and crooked. The cleanliness was good. Towels were good. Sheets on one bed would not stay on and need to be replaced. Lots of semi trucks going by at 4 a.m. The roof on the sun room was leaking with the rain. The couches in the living room need to be replaced. You have to sit on pillows or you sink almost to the floor.

Do not overlook this gem! The house has character and wears its age well. The location is great: quiet, walking distance to a park with unobstructed views of Mackinac Island and Mackinac Bridge, close to a grocery store, and a 3 min drive to downtown St Ignace. 5 bedrooms means plenty of room with 2 bedrooms on the first floor. All the kitchen essentials and a full size washer and dryer for after your waterfall hikes and beach days. An upstairs balcony deck or a screened in front porch are great for enjoying morning coffee or settling down in the evening. You will not be disappointed!

Came from WI for the car show. Cabin was located by the water. Cabin leaked water when it rained and smelled musty and moldy. The whole house was unlevel.

As others have mentioned the property is rough. While you can see the water from the upper balcony they fail to tell you the home is across from some kind of commercial shipping yard where semis are coming through during the night. The yard is not at all private. The firepit is in the side yard sitting at an intersection. There is not enough seating indoors or out for the number of people they say the home can fit. Im thankful we had chosen ahead of time to eat out throughout the weekend. The kitchen would not have been fun to cook in. Anything I used out of the cupboard I washed prior to using. The house was overall clean as was the bedding. However, it’s an old cottage … These are just some things I wish I had understood before booking.

Quaint Cottage with a BEAUTIFUL View

This property is lovely. It has all of the old charm of a country cottage and the most amazing location. It is very close to downtown St. Ignace and the ferry docks. The view from the upstairs patio was amazing.

About the host

Host profile image
Lori & I have been coming up to St. Ignace for twenty two years. Being professional photographers we loved the scenery and fell in love with the people. After ten years of looking for our own little piece of heaven we stumbled upon The Love Shack.

Why they chose this property

The location of the love shack is perfect. When we bought the home it had been vacant for many years. Noone saw what we saw. We have redone almost everything but as we all know the work of an older home keeps us jumping. It is close to town and all the happenings. The views are wonderful and with 4 children in our family the playground is right down the street.
