The house right on the shores of Lake Huron worked great for our family of 5. The weather was raining and foggy and the views were still good. Location was great to able to explore Mackinac Island and Sault Ste Marie. Would absolutely stay again.

Brought my father, son, friend, and my lab Kaia up to the UP for an opening weekend of waterfowl hunting. The house was beautiful, but the view was amazing. Very easy processes, everything was available that we needed to enjoy. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back again!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay at the lakefront property. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. We had seven of us. The dining room table was ample big for meals and several hours of cards. The bedrooms were ample in size with great views of the lake out the windows. The locations served us well to kayak the Soo Locks and walk the narnia trail near cedarville. The suggestion given to eat at cattail cove was a good suggestion.

Quiet, beautiful and off the beaten path!

We stayed with our brothers and their families. We had two kids with us, and they loved the house. We were in town for the car show in St. Ignace and enjoyed being out of town and away from all of the noise at night. The location was beautiful and peaceful. We got to see the fireworks show from the back porch over the water which was nice too!

We all enjoyed the house. Loved visiting in the living room with the fire going. Had a mishap with the Kerig part of the coffee maker stopped working, but we cut open the pods and used the French press to make our decaf, lol. Already rebooked for next year. Hopefully the rain will stay away.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Morley

We built this cabin in 1982 and have been enjoying it ever since! It has been the perfect family spot. However, because we do not get a chance to use it as much as we would like to, we look at this as an opportunity to share our home away from home with others.

Why they chose this property

We love St. Martin's Bay! We love that this 'secluded' location is still only 2 miles from the expressway (I-75) and within 20 minutes of St. Ignace and Cedarville! We love that you can bring your ATV's out here and not have any issues (and be right next to some of the best trails in the EUP). We love that the cottage is off the beaten path and that it's not 'Too nice' to stay in, but rather, 'very comfortable'. Mostly, we love that one can be as active or inactive as they want!

What makes this property unique

There are so many things to see and do in this area! Knowing that you can leave from the cottage on an ATV, a bicycle or in a car and be able to hit a trail or a main highway is a very unique thing! So, why not take advantage of the opportunity to stay at the 'VanKamp' and make your own memories.
Being so close to the area attractions is an added bonus! Many of our past guests visit Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, and many other attractions within a few days.
