Wonderful 4 bedroom/2 bath waterfront home with views of Mackinac Island and Mackinaw Bridge.

Wake to a beautiful sunrise over Lake Huron from your private deck. Listen to the illusive Loon call. Watch the freighters passing through the Straits. Enjoy a little piece of heaven in Northern Michigan.
This cabin offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Over 2000 sf of Northern charm with a fully equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace, and plenty of space for everyone. If you choose to enjoy yourmeals in, there is a large hand made log dining room table to accommodate you and your guests for meals (or play your favorite game). You can also visit one of the fine eateries in the area. Situated halfway between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan, there are plenty to choose from. Visit the Historic Fort Michillamackinac or take the 20 minute ferry ride to magical Mackinac Island for the day. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the Island but there are plenty of bikes to rent there. Horse-drawn taxis or private carriage rides are available or enjoy the Island on foot. Take a ghost tour, rent a kayak or enjoy the bustling restaurants there. If you enjoy history, visit the forts or museum there. You won't be disappointed. This is a great home base for traveling around Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. You can visit Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Indian River, Charlevoix or charming Good Hart and the Tunnel of Trees - all within an hour. There is no shortage of things to do or see in the area. Or you can just cozy up with a good book in the privacy of the cabin. Theres a 60 mile all-purpose trail that you can access right across the street for biking, hiking or dog walking. It's a great place that you'll want to return to year after year.

*We have opted to offer Damage Insurance at the cost of $55 for your stay in lieu of a refundable security deposit. It will be listed under fees as Damage Insurance.

*WILDLIFE DISCLAIMER*

Coming to beautiful Northern Michigan includes the possibility of wildlife encounters. We have midges, spiders, mosquitos, occasionally black flies and an assortment of other insects. We spray regularly to keep them at a manageble level but we also don't want to damage the fragile ecosystem here. Note that where there is water, there will be spiders. They are very industrious and can build back a knocked down web within a day!
They are also great for controlling mosquitos and wasps, which we appreciate.

We treasure the wildness of the North and perhaps that is what attracts you.

Consider yourself lucky if you catch a glimpse of any of our other wild neighbors - black bear, wolves, deer, elk, coyote, fox, bobcats, porcupine, skunks, raccoons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and mice as well as a massive variety of birds.

We ask you to consider this before booking one of our cottages or cabins.

The presence of wildlife is part of the experience here and does not warrant a refund.

    The Location was great very close to Mackinaw City. Super View of Mackinac Island. Clean and very nice. It was listed as a four bedroom. Not true, 3 bedroom and a single bed at the top of the stairs. The property Manager Diane Moreno was completely unresponsive to contact, So she gets a one star review from me.

    We stayed last year & enjoyed it very much. This year was ok but not as wonderful. The listing shows a king bed but the new mattress is a queen and we look for a king bed as one of our requirements. The cords for the blinds are frayed and they either need to be restrung and the blinds replaced.With that said, this is still a good vrbo. If a king bed replaces the queen, we would stay again.Also, I recommend that the deck be transformed to one that is screened. We both are originally from MI so we are used to the mosquitos but a screened deck would be a fantastic add.Also, the agent for the property is great.

    My family just loved this property.Check in was simple, house was just as advertised, actually it was better!!Very clean, kitchen/dining area was spacious & well stocked. Outdoor grounds had that Up North feel we were looking for and the Lake Huron/Mackinac Bridge/Mackinac Island views from the beach were amazing. We are looking forward to booking another get away at this gem of a property.

    Amazing! The property is wonderful. 3 bedrooms and a loft space with a single bed (twin). 2 baths. Right on the lake. Private and secluded for a relaxing vacation. There are stairs down the deck to the water, keep in mind for kids or elderly. The hosts are thoughtful and have a gate at the top which was lovely. Bring your big spray, sun screen, swim suits and enjoy all up north has to offer. Clean property which is always a must.

    It was a nice stay so much better than a hotel. Could use a few things. Like cushions on patio chairs, newer chairs for a around the beach they are dry rotted and bench had stufff seeping out of it couldn't sit on it. Needs grass cut or weed wacked so you could see the rock formed steps near the house. Rooms were big, kitchen needs organizing to find things easier. Honestly though we did enjoy our stay and was centrally located to everything we wanted.

    We had a fantastic time staying at this property for our family vacation to Michigan. The house was very clean and came equipped with everything we needed. The kids loved going out back for a swim after our day of running around/site seeing. The location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to do (Paradise was 1.2 hrs north, Munising about 1.5 hrs north, Torch Lake 2 hrs south, right next to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and St. Ignace). We absolutely loved our stay and would not hesitate to book again should we find ourselves headed that way in the future.

    The house was the perfect size for us- mattresses were nice. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals in. The weather wasn't that great but we did utilize some time sitting with friends down at the beach. The location was centrally located to Cheboygan which is where the guys fished out of daily. Mackinac City was a short jaunt as well for dining and shopping. We would rent again.

    Great house on lake. Needs some things though. Upstairs mattress bad, low water pressure throughout house. Grill not in good shape, light by back door keeps flicking. Porch flood light to front yard works but only stays on 30 sec motion dector. Did not supply enough papers products. Many miles of trails across st was not assessable. But don’t let this detour you from staying here.

    The home is truly cared for. The view from the property looking out to Mackinac Island and Mackinac Bridge was excellent. Beach is rocky, but you are up north- expect that! We had fun searches for neat rocks. Beds were comfy. Ample room for adults and kids inside and out. Pet friendly! Only complaint was there were no cushions for the seats on the deck. exploreMullett and Bert Lakes.
