Great location

Location was great, and it was perfect for a place for all of us to sleep since we were mainly out adventuring the island and the UP.

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!

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.

As others have mentioned the property is rough. While you can see the water from the upper balcony they fail to tell you the home is across from some kind of commercial shipping yard where semis are coming through during the night. The yard is not at all private. The firepit is in the side yard sitting at an intersection. There is not enough seating indoors or out for the number of people they say the home can fit. Im thankful we had chosen ahead of time to eat out throughout the weekend. The kitchen would not have been fun to cook in. Anything I used out of the cupboard I washed prior to using. The house was overall clean as was the bedding. However, it’s an old cottage … These are just some things I wish I had understood before booking.

Quaint Cottage with a BEAUTIFUL View

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.

Love Shack

The location is awesome. The home is a throwback to 1950. If you're looking for a home with modern conveniences, this isn't for you. It worked great as a base home.

Great place

We booked the house for 5 nights and had a great time. It is centrally located so was near the ferry’s, restaurants, shops, etc. There is a grocery store right up the street and a family dollar. The house is old but has a lot of character with a great sun room and deck off an upstairs bedroom. Mark, the owner, is great to work with and very responsive when needed. We will be back next time we make it back to Michigan!

Love shack is really a shack

House is a shack. Falling down around you. From the floor leaning to the cracks in the walls and ceilings from the foundation giving away. None of the doors close bc they are not square. 1 inch gaps in each door from left to right. The whole house is leaning. Hope this help the next group.
