Second time at this property. Great location. Quiet and relaxing. Owner always responded quickly with answers to questions I had. Would stay there again and again. The 24yo boys that were with me loved it this year as much as last!

What an incredible piece with majestic views, and private if you’re looking for that. It was the perfect location for us to get to Munising (make sure to ride the @riptideride!), Macinac island and back to Harbor Springs and Petosky.

This cabin was in a fantastic location right on Lake Michigan with amazing views of freighters. It is secluded, but still in reasonable distances to enjoy the sites from White Fish Point and the Ship Wreck Museum, Tahquamenon Falls, Sauté Ste. Marie/Soo Locks, hiking in Cedarville, and Mackinaw Island. Being Labor Day weekend, it was also close to the Mackinac Bridge Walk. We had an amazing stay. The cabin does have well water so we recommend you bring your own water to drink.

This was our 6th stay at this cabin—we keep coming back because it is FANTASTIC. It’s super clean, big kitchen, awesome (huge) back deck.And! If you bring enough food, you can stay here for WEEKS without seeing another human. It’s that private.And! It’s a cabin in the U.P., it’s utterly charming; with wetlands COVERED in dragonflies between the cabin & the beach! Bald eagles visit daily. Loons, ducks, seagulls, giant woodpeckers—it’s magical. The beach is rocky & glorious. The views are amazing from the cabin, the lawn/fire pit, the beach. Bring your binoculars to watch the freighters pass by (there’s an app that tells you which ones they are, their length, their cargo, & their destination). Lastly, stay up past sunset & go sit outside & stargaze. It’s incredible. It’s lovely. Also, we sleep SO WELL here! We will come back here as often as we can!

Ive never left a negative review, but I felt this merited one. We left this morning and said goodbye to all our new mice friends. They enjoyed our trail mix I forgot to put in the fridge last night. This morning when I turned on the light they scattered behind the fridge and fireplace. It is a beautiful location but the well water smells like sulfur and stains your skin orange. Chairs by the fire were broke/cracked-so bring your own chairs. Sheets upstairs were blood stained. In general, it just felt dirty. Think a step above tent camping and you won’t be disappointed. For the money, it would have been much better to stay at a hotel in St Ignace (most are right on the water).

After several stays here, I just can’t wait to get back! So comfortable, great location; secluded yet close to the city and other amenities. Although all you need is a load of firewood and good company. And Mary is the consummate host.

MAGICAL

We have visited this cabin 5 times, & it is the PERFECT artists’ retreat for us (we’re both professional musicians). It is bliss every visit. It is clean, & the kitchen is huge & the bed comfy; yet the view, the rocky beach, the soft air, watching freighters go by, the STARS at night(!), make this place the charming magic it is. We adore it!

Beautiful!

My family of 4 stayed here for a quick getaway before sending our oldest to college. It was perfect! If you are looking to explore the UP, this is a great place to stay. We took day trips to Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rock and Mackinac Island. We also spent the day at the roadside beaches just west of the cabin along Rt 2. Mary’s place provided a beautiful space to retreat to at the end of the day to watch the sunset and play games. We had a wonderful family vacation!

Great location, not very clean

The location is that amazing combination of feeling both way out in nature but close to restaurants, the grocery store and other amenities. The views from the beach are amazing: you can see the sunset in one direction and the Mackinaw Bridge in the other. Inside the house, however, we found mice droppings in the silverware drawer and the dresser that held extra sheets in the loft. The stairs had clearly not been swept either, because we found a potato chip on them when first arriving (and upon looking closer, either crumbs or small gravel/sand). There were ample cleaning supplies on hand, so I could disinfect the counters and rewash all the dishes. We also found various items previous people had left behind: a scrunchie on the couch, a Lego on the area rug, and a sock under the couch. The water has a pretty strong iron taste. When I emptied a bottle of the water from the cabin into a white sink, I realized the water was orange. I’m reasonably sure the mouse issue is more of a winter problem.

UP Getaway

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Exceeded our expectations. Location was so convenient for what we wanted to do and see. Very peaceful and quiet and was a wonderful place to unwind and unplug. Had two 23year old boys with me and as a mom it was great to see them enjoy it all. They didn’t want to leave that lakefront!!

Perfect location and ambience!

This is an ideal location and property. The house is cozy and beautiful; the views of Lake Michigan are stunning! We stayed put; we went up to Hessel to golf; we drove up to Munising to fish for Lake Trout. And was always happy to get back to the property to relax by the fire pit. This is our second year and we can’t wait to go back!

Quiet getaway

The home and property were rustic and charming. With the cool nights Air conditioning was not needed however the moisture off the lake kept everything a bit damp. The views from the porch were beautiful and access to the water made a wonderful evening ritual to watch the sunset from the shoreline. The house was equipped with the basics but we needed to bring our own soap, shampoo and hair dryer. Would recommend this property.

Perfect Lake Michigan getaway

This property was well worth the value with stunning views of lake Michigan and the Mackinaw Bridge all contained within the privacy of beautifully forested property. My wife and I loved exploring the beach and sitting on the cozy deck which offered gorgeous sights rain or shine, night or day. The cabin offered all the amenities of home with a comfy master suite and plenty of room for families with more beds up stairs. This will always be our first pick from now on when travelling the the U.P.

This was our third stay at this cabin, & it is an IDEAL artists’ retreat and/or anyone-who-needs-a-break retreat! It is unspeakably lovely. Its clean, relaxing, & perfectly embraces the wildness of the U.P. Bring binoculars to watch the freighters & birds (5 bald-eagle sightings this time), & a telescope for the starry nights!

Great Stay

Mary has a lovely cabin and property. Relaxing each morning on the deck with a cup of coffee while looking at the water was a great way to start the day. Relaxing on the deck in the evening with a cocktail or glass of MI cherry wine was the perfect way to end the day. The cabin was clean, check in and check out were uncomplicated. The location is perfect for day trips. We brought fans with us because there is no AC, but didn't need to because there were fans in each bedroom and the living area when we arrived. No WiFi or cable, but that didn't bother us. Our phones had good signal and 5G. The area is beautiful, the people are friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to book this cabin again should I return to the UP.
