Read the reviews… house is old, but clean. Great location with lots of rooms. We loved exploring the area during our stay! No A/C, but stayed cool with windows open.
The location is conveniently located to all the things you want to do and see in the area. Our goal was day trips to other areas so it worked out well.

Great quiet neighborhood. Great place to stay. Close enough but far enough away from tourist traps ! Mystery spot is a must see when there ! It was cute & family friendly

Car show weekend
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.
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.
Great location in St Ignace. Great price for the number of bedrooms. Bathroom and kitchen could have cleaner and the cottage structure was very quirky.
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!
I truly enjoyed my time with my family! We loved the house. Plenty of things to do in area. The house slept everyone comfortably! We will be back!

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.
Stayed 2 nights on our first trip to the upper peninsula with my wife and son. Nice house as advertised with everything needed to be more than comfortable
Home is comfortable and very clean. Kitchen is nicely stocked, appliances all in good working order. Conveniently located close to grocery store and restaurants. Owner friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to Everything
We had a great stay! The house is close to everything. You can see the water and island from the house! The beach is only a couple minutes down the road and so are all the shops and places to see or go! We will be back most likely!!! Thank you!
About the host

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.
