The property is beautiful and the house very nicely updated. There are several places to hang out making the house feel very comfortable for our group. Well-stocked kitchen with coffee/tea on hand and bathrooms have shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. It was also really dark a short walk on the trail behind the house, perfect for stargazing! Host was easy to work with, we left thinking we would definitely come back here the next time we head to this part of the state.

Better than expected!!

This VRBO is in a beautiful location near Mackinaw City and hiking trails. The listing looked good but the actual house was better than we expected from the pictures. The hosts were easy to work with and the house is very clean, well kept, and spacious. Our dog loved the outside and the fenced yard. We loved the landscaping as well. Great space
