Mackinaw trip
Property was perfect for my wife and I. Gorgeous views of Lake Huron and the bridge. Hosts had a lot of helpful suggestions and the homemade cookies were delicious. Location had easy access to Mackinaw City and the bridge to St Ignace and to ferry boats to Mackinaw Island.

Great little cottage with a gigantic view!
Enjoyed my mornings and evenings, looking out at the view with my beverage of choice. This was a central location to visit many areas in northern Michigan and the UP. The owners were very friendly and informational. The cottage was clean and comfortable and whatever you needed was nearby but you felt like you were very secluded because of the location near the lake. We definitely have this one on our list of favorites.

This was a perfect quiet getaway. We brought our kayaks and we were able to kayak the coast and go to shore whenever we wanted. The weather was perfect during our 4 day stay. Close enough to all the excitement but far enough to be peaceful.

Perfect romantic getaway
We had an amazing time on our anniversary trip to this cabin! Very cozy place with a breathtaking view of Lake Huron. Sweet owners that checked to make sure everything was perfect but gave us our privacy too. Would definitely stay again if we decide to come back to Mackinaw!

very enjoyable -- perfect getaway
The property was well maintained, clean and full of needed amenities. We enjoyed the view and location immensely. When we weren't off doing things, it was great to sit outside and see Lk Huron and Mackinaw Island. Bob, the owner, came and chatted with us and gave us some great tips for places to eat. I highly recommend this place. Linda & Alan

Just as described!
The cottage is as described. We enjoyed our stay and had no issues. The property is very clean and the view is beautiful. I enjoyed the fluffy bath towels, charmin soft toilet paper and warm showers. It’s very peaceful. You are very close to many popular places. Bring bug spray if your staying in the summer months. We brought our bikes, kayaks, and wood for fires. The owners were on site and very friendly. We hope to come back and stay again. I recommend this place!

Thanks for your review.. TV service is spotty depending on weather. Most of the time it’s good and gets the major networks. But awesome WiFi and a smart TV work great. We also provide a DVD player with numerous DVD’s for your entertainment.

The Perfect Getaway!
The property was very clean and ready for us to check in upon our arrival. The owners were kind enough to check in with us one day prior too the trip to ensure all of our questions were answered. The cabin surely has a one million dollar view and we plan on returning to the property again next year! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cute cottage with a spectacular view
The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. The location is a short drive to Mackinaw City or Cheboygan. The owners had great suggestions for restaurants and attractions. We loved sitting on the deck looking at beautiful Lake Huron. The owners are Super nice and we had total privacy. We highly recommend staying here.

Perfect lakefront getaway cabin for two.
We would easily come back to this cabin for a week of peaceful rest and relaxation. The cabin is well and comfortably furnished including a very comfortable deck with chairs and table. The rustic "porch swing" on the shoreline was a perfect setting for looking across the straits to the Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island. This cabin truly has a "Million Dollar View".

Pat, we were disappointed with the poor scores for your stay. It's always better for everyone if guests let us know of any issues as soon as they are found out. The owner would have been there in a flash to take care of them. The tripped breakers were likely due to plugging 2 space heaters into the same outlet. The owner would have been able to advise you on that. The hot water heater was repaired and future guests should be fine. Regards, Diane

Awesome, clean, quiet, well stocked cottage with beautiful view and access to the lake!
We loved staying here! It was just minutes to Mackinaw City and Cheboygan, it was a quiet and peaceful property, the cottage was very clean, and the owner was very kind and provided all we needed. We loved spending time on the front deck as well as down by the water. It was a refreshing get-away place, and we would love to return!! 5 stars!

Comfy Cabin
We loved our stay! The cabin is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable. Loved the beach and fire pits there at night. Close enough to Macinaw City but far enough that it was very quiet and away from all the tourists. Highly recommend it for couples!

This one-room cabin truly has a "Million Dollar View".
We enjoyed three nights in the cottage right on the shore of Lake Huron with a great view of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. Everything needed for a stay was provided, but be sure to take additional paper products. We ate breakfasts there and found plenty of places to eat lunch and dinner, as well as much to do in the area. Campfires on the beach are wonderful, but too bad we only had enough firewood for one small fire. As nice as the cabin was, the real attraction is still the view. With all vacations the weather is critical; we had one day of rain and the other two days were beautiful. We would recommend a three-day stay.

The views are even better than described and it was a very relaxing place. A nice quiet place to get away from it all. Close to downtown Mackinac City and Cheboygan. We would definitely come back again! Only negative is the bed isn't very comfortable.

Erik, thanks for your feedback and we agree! The views are spectacular. FYI, we are replacing the bed at the end of the season with a comfy queen size bed. I hope you'll come back and visit again. Regards, Diane
