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!

Home is wonderful! It was a bit dusty and we wished there was more seating outside by the water than a small wooden swing, but otherwise it was quiet and nice.

Family vacation

This property was everything it was represented as, and more. I would definitely rent from them again. As this was my first time with VRBO, the service provided was exceptional. I'll be doing this again.
