    This property was very clean and had more than we expected! The back deck and fire pit area were perfect spots to relax and enjoy the lake. We had a blast with the kayaks, water mat and floaties provided! The location is perfect too! Quiet area with a couple restaurants and market close by and only a ten minute drive to Mackinaw City.

    Great. Best location for getting to Mackinac Island or the UP and still staying in the lower peninsula.

    Spent the week traveling around Michigan with this as our home base. It was a wonderful spot for traveling around the area and nice that it was so close to Mackinaw City. We will definitely be back!

    We were so excited to stay here! The home was exactly like the pictures, but even better! We enjoyed the lake, and the hosts literally thought of everything we would need during our stay. We kayaked, swam in the lake, were close enough to do many other activities like spending the day at Mackinac Island and a day at a beach on Lake Michigan. The information binder that was in the house was also super helpful when we were trying to decide what to do! This was the perfect place to stay!!!

    I am super pickey about cleanliness and this place was perfect. The lake was clear and shallow so we felt completely comfortable for our daughter to learn how to kayak and go pretty far out. We loved all the lake toys and that there were life jackets. Thanks for making our vacation great!

    Absolutely wonderful place to stay!!!!! So clean with everything you need. Beautiful view of the lake inside and out of the cottage! Great location to visit the island and Mackinaw City. It was such a treat to have kayaks to use. Highly recommend this rental. We only wish we could have stayed longer

    One of the best places we have stayed at in along time! So neat and clean and exactly how it was described. The place was stocked with everything you could think of and more! So many water toys, games, snacks, and just thoughtful items. It all made for a really great time. The only issue was that we couldnt stay any longer. The hosts were quick to respond and super nice. I would definitely come back! The sandy beach, warm shallow water, deck, toys, picnic table and everything else was just great. We enjoyed every minute!

    The cottage was perfect for our stay! It was calm and relaxing and had everything we needed! Our kids spent most of their time down at the lake and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. There was a strong smell of sulfur from the water, but other than that it was wonderful!

    We have stayed at many many cabins over the years and are well acquainted with cabin/lake life. With that said not all are as advertised but this one is! One of the cleanest houses we have ever rented. The attention to small details such as shampoo and soap, snacks, paper products, extra blankets and pillows are very much appreciated. The views are beautiful and the lake is very quiet, not much boat noise which we loved. We would definitely rent again!

    Everything about our stay was perfect. The home was beautiful, extremely clean, and well equipped with everything we could need for our trip - this made traveling with two toddlers so much easier. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed bonfires, playing in the sand, and fishing. Communication with Allison was easy and prompt. We will definitely return again the next time we are in the area.
