House is spacious and has everything you need for a family vacation. The location is great - private and quiet, but a quick drive into Mackinaw City.

Cabin Getaway
Our family had a great stay at the Cecil Bay Cottage. We had family camping nearby at Wilderness State Park so the location was conveniently close to visit during the day with our little ones. The cabin was clean especially given the remote location in the woods. For a family getaway in this area we would recommend.

Spacious and clean house
This house was spacious and clean with plenty of room for a big group. It is conveniently located near 2 state parks, public beaches, the Lake, and Mackinaw City. The property manager was helpful and very pleasant to work with. My sisters and I enjoyed our stay there.

Nice time
Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, (rainy, 50’s) we still had a very nice time. Rain wasn’t so bad that we couldn’t spend some time birdwatching on the back deck. Saw two Bald Eagles and a bear crossing a nearby road! There was a problem with the Wi-Fi, not sure what that was all about. Over all though, a great time!
