Tranquil Retreat or Romantic Getaway in Beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

A beautiful log home apartment in the woods. A tranquil, peaceful and private getaway in a safe area. Also handicap accessibility. A short distance from Lake Michigan with spectacular views of the Mackinac Bridge, islands and wildlife. Near Sand Bay, a sandy beach for swimming and kayaking. Many tourist attractions: Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Sault Locks, forts and museums.
I have lived in Saint Ignace all my life - my roots here go back to 1885. My family are some of the first settlers in this quaint city. I LIVE ON SITE. My home is divided with private entrance for visitors. No shared space. Enjoy my beautiful island flower garden with pond and lighthouse and the train garden. Wildlife including deer and even a moose have stopped by for a visit. Truly a tranquil romantic paradise!

For those with allergies - rest assured that there has never been a pet inside the log home apartment.
Electric heat, air conditioning and air filtering system. There are no fragrances.
Well water and Culligan's reverse osmosis water filtering system.
Free and sensitive detergents.

This was one of the best VRBO experiences we've had - great host, outstanding location, comfortable accommodations. Everything we needed was readily available, the furnishings were comfortable, and Mary Lynn is an excellent host. She left us homemade banana bread and allowed us to use her golf cart to be able to see the shoreline at sunset. We would highly recommend this to our friends, and won't stay anywhere else if we return to the area.

We arrived to our beautiful rental greeted by a lovely card, banana bread and other treats. The directions for the property and check in were very easy to follow. The area is very peaceful and we were able to take a walk down by the lake and view the bridge. Mary Lynn communicated very well and has the home well stocked and very clean. We love the area, it’s a beautiful property and would highly recommend

Great location

The location and our stay were great! The host was extremely welcoming and the perfect host! It is close to the beach, and to the St Ignace ferry to Mackinac Island which we preferred over the busier Mackinaw City port. The house was roomy with lots of amenities. The gardens were beautiful in July and it was a very quiet setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Exemplary Beautiful Home!!!

Stayed here with my mom while we explored the area. This home is so beautiful, wonderfully maintained, the host has personal touches all over the house that will make your stay here just wonderful! From homemade rhubarb bread, to a chocolate bar, to a book written about the owner's husband you will just love this place! Can't say enough good about it! Must stay here again!

This is definitely a tranquil retreat. Mary was very sweet, friendly and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay. The home is only a block or so from Lake Michigan. You can actually see the lake through the trees from the kitchen window. You can hear the waves when you step outside. It is a beautiful country setting but minutes from downtown St. Ignace. A short walk or drive gives you great views of the Mackinaw Bridge. We would stay here again.

A Great "Up-North" Cottage

This charming VRBO was exactly as advertised! It was located in a very quiet area yet was only a short drive to downtown. It was clean, modern, and very obviously well taken care of. There was plenty of room for my husband and me.

The place was very nice, however, it did have a musty smell. Photo is deceiving. I thought we would be staying at a place with a big porch.Having access to a golf cart at no additional cost was a nice extra.Mary Lynn was welcoming. She was glad to see us.
