We had a lovely stay with our family of 8 and our pup. The lakefront location was wonderful (don’t miss out on the beautiful sunsets and excellent late night star gazing) and the cabin had all the amenities we needed. The cabin was a bit difficult to find at night if you’re driving in for the first time. The location was great and not too far away from the neighboring cities. Thanks for allowing our family to stay, we would surely come back!

The home is beautiful. Right on the water. The beach is very rocky but a beautiful spot. The bedding is very old, consider bringing your own bedding as the sheets they provide are thin and no large comforters. The beds are ok. If you have someone with special needs there is a main bedroom with a walk in shower. Very handicap accesible. The TV is touchy. The location cannot be beat. We watched the bridge and the island at night. Clear view. A real treat to stay here.

Perfect

Don’t hesitate to stay here! We came with our daughter, her husband, and their son, so she could show them some of her childhood. (My husband lived in Munising so Mackinaw was always a stop when our kids were little). We all loved how peaceful and serene it was. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and generous for the five of us, in size. To say our stay was perfect is almost an understatement.

Family Vacation

Our entire family (kids, their spouses & partners, grandkids, and dogs) came from all over with the hopes of having a wonderful getaway to Northern Michigan. The central point of assembly was this home and it did not disappoint. There was plenty of room, plenty of beds, and lots of things that made it a home away from home. No hotel could have compared for such a large group. Highlights included the privacy, the fire pit out back, foosball table for my grandkids, spaciousness, lake shore, and location. Everyone had a great time!

Awesome Property

Beautiful home and area. Only stayed for two nights and wished we had booked more. Loved the house and loved being on the lake. Great being able to see the Mackinaw bridge from the shore. Fireworks on St. Ignace on Saturday night was a great surprise. This is definitely on our "Let's do this again" list.

Everything wonderful except house flies

This was our first trip to the upper peninsula. It really was a beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. And everything inside was clean and closed up. We couldn't quite understand why we had to be killing over a dozen flies per day inside. Where were they coming from? Anyway, it was still very good. Fly paper would have been useful.
