5br 1 Ba Cottage In The Heart Of St. Ignace

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT BOOKINGS IN JULY AND AUGUST WILL BE SATURDAY TO SATURDAY.

Rustic 125yr old cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect family get away. The kitchen is well equipped and linens and towels are provided. The home has 5 bedrooms & 1 bath. There is a queen bed & private balcony on the upstairs master and a queen bed right off the living room in the downstairs master. There is a gas fireplace in the living room for chilly evenings, a flat screen TV with a dvd player, there are also many games, books and cards for your enjoyment. It has a large yard with lots of room for little ones to play. Look out of your glass enclosed porch with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and watch the ferries shuffle people to Mackinac Island. There is a public boat launch waiting for your boat 300 yards away. The cottage is in a perfect location for access to all the interesting points in the U.P. Only a few blocks I-75 or US-2 and only about a mile from the Mackinac Bridge. You can easily make day trips to Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks or Sault Ste. Marie, but don’t forget about all the happening in St. Ignace itself. Fireworks every Saturday (in season), movies in the park, music on the Bay, wine tasting in town, and so much more.

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!

Quirky with a great location

Five adults travelling with two devices each could not find enough outlets to charge everything without negotiation. Not all the bedrooms had lighting. Those with lighting didn't have enough bulbs. We fixed that, because, we were seniors, light is imperative. None of the floors were level. If you are unsteady on your feet, this place is not for you. Remember we were five seniors. We loved the location and laughed about all the quirks, because we felt the rent was fair for the level of accommodation offered.

Quirky Cottage

The property was easy to find, affordable, and in a good location. The house is old so it definitely has its crooked quirks, but functions well for the purpose. It was well stocked with bedding, towels, and essentials. We were pleasantly surprised with the showers water pressure and no hard water! The yard could use some upkeep from weeds and dog poo. The owner offered the cleaning fee back if we were able to do the cleaning as the typical crew was not available. We didn’t have a problem doing that for a $100 refund, which was quickly refunded through Vrbo. Overall we were happy with the accommodations.

Not as it Seems

People pay a mortgage payment or more for vacay. They want a place that's better than home, this is not. True, this is a 125yr old home, but one that has a serious foundation problem. There's things the owners could do to make better, like caulk, shim, fix the roof and ceilings. No AC, but only one ceiling fan, have stationary fans, but not enough. Soot on walls from furnace. It could use freshening up. Location is right by municipal building, trucks start out at 5:30am. So if you think you're going to sleep in, think again. True, it is a good center for getting around the area. Neighbors dog runs loose and craps in the yard. We made the best of it. I wouldn't suggest for people who aren't stable standing or walking, floors are very sloped because of foundation.

Location made the trip!

My husband, kids and I stayed at this house in June for several days. The area is beautiful, it's so close to everything we were looking for. Downtown St. Ignace was right around the corner, there was a park down the street as well as access to the lake. We love that the grocery story was just up the street as well, that made it very convenient in case we needed to run there for anything. *HINT* If you want any sports balls, go to the Dollar General and purchase it there, ask them to fill it with air at the front desk. Mark (host) was VERY helpful and responded very quickly to my any concerns and questions we may have had. Although, the house had enough beds to host a larger group, the beds were not comfortable. I had mentioned that and several other things to Mark and he assured me that he would be making changes soon. Overall, he was a great host and easy to deal with. The house is very old, so keep that in mind. The floors are uneven, which took some time to get used to. But we didn't spend a ton of time there because we wanted to explore the area daily. So it fit our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill works just fine:) We loved that there was access to a full washer and dryer as well. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and made the most of it. Thanks Mark!

The house is very old and crooked. The cleanliness was good. Towels were good. Sheets on one bed would not stay on and need to be replaced. Lots of semi trucks going by at 4 a.m. The roof on the sun room was leaking with the rain. The couches in the living room need to be replaced. You have to sit on pillows or you sink almost to the floor.

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!
