About this property

Kendall's Northern Retreat

You will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located but private getaway. You'll be minutes away from the lake, Bridge, downtown, parks, ferries, restaurants, stores and a major trailhead. There is a great view of Mackinac Island from the end of the driveway. This large, family-friendly retreat will help you relax so you can focus on making those lasting memories during your stay. For the winter guests, please follow Straits Area Snowmobile Club on FB for trail conditions.

There are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed. Then there is a large room with curtained off sleeping areas, currently (the goal is to make it into separate bedrooms down the road). One of the areas has a king size bed and the other has twin bunk beds with an additional twin bed. There is a queen size air mattress and a pack and play that can be set up in any of the rooms. There is plenty of parking on site, a nice yard and fire pit. The ceilings are about 7' in height, which is about a foot shorter than normal ceilings. The bathroom ceilings in the shower area are shorter still, about 6'6" high.

Please note that there is only one air conditioning unit in the front end of the house.

We joined VRBO in September 2025 but have been hosting on the "other" platform since May 2024.

About the area

St Ignace

St Ignace is home to this holiday home. Mackinaw City Ferry Terminal and The Jewel at the Grand Hotel are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Travelling with kids? Consider Murdick's Fudge - St. Ignace and Totem Village. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing, or try out other outdoor activities such as snowmobiling and ice skating.

Great place our family enjoyed especially our 9 and 12 year old grandchildren who liked the games and bunk beds. Easy check in and out. Loved the special touches in each and every room of this home. Close to restaurants; stores, and ferry docks. Met our wish list for a family vacation and more. We will be back.Thank youChris.

Clean and roomy home. Games, outdoor Firepit and accessories. Plenty of chairs and wood as well. Great communication from owners.Here to sightsee! Started our trip in Traverse City and traveled here to sight see the UP. Great location…on our way out went to Mackinac Island .Shepler's Ferry very close by. While here ate at BC pizza and Wild Blueberry breakfast! Both delicious. Water nearby.
