    Just 4 adults and we loved the property. Room layout was a bit strange but we made it work for us. Would have been better with a bathroom upstairs.Really enjoyed the fire pit and the lake front!

    We recently stayed at this property, and while there were some positives, the experience overall did not meet our expectations—especially considering the cost.Pros:• Great location in a peaceful setting• Beautiful scenery all around• The house was very clean and well-keptCons:• No air conditioning – We only found this out through an email a week before our trip. For the amount we paid, AC should absolutely be included. This alone made the stay uncomfortable and not worth the cost.• Safety concerns in the backyard – The deck has no railing, and five of our kids fell off it. It was also difficult for some family members to get down safely due to the lack of proper steps or handrails.• Small and understocked kitchen – The kitchen was very tight, realistically only allowing one person in at a time. It was also understocked, especially in terms of silverware, which wasn’t sufficient for our group.• Only one TV – There was just a single television in the entire house, which felt inadequate for a rental property of this size in today’s day and age, especially when traveling with a group or family.• Beach access – While scenic, the beach is very rocky in the water and not kid-friendly for swimming.• Outdoor pests – There were a lot of flies and bugs outside, which made it hard to enjoy the outdoor space. We recommend bringing lavender oil or bug repellent if you plan to stay.We’re glad we tried this location but will not be returning.

    Our group of 6 adults & 4 kids had a fabulous time here! This place has a wonderful layout & very functional space. It was a great place to merge our multiple families. We agreed it would be a comfortable space for groups big and small. The host was a delight to work with! And the home was very clean and had great details too - ample dishes, good back stock of ingredients, high quality seating and bedding. Plus the outdoor space was amazing with a fire pit, extra chairs & endless adventures for kids and adults. We will definitely be back and would love to see each season from this place!

    This is a well-maintained, well-equipped cottage in a good location with proximity to Mackinaw sites. Stacey is an excellent communicator and provided very detailed and helpful information at several times during the booking and check-in and check-out steps. The pictures don't do it justice, especially outside - the beach area is excellent. Highly recommended.

    We enjoyed walks along the beach and the trail across the road. Halfway between Cheboygan and Mackinaw so everything is close. Beautiful view of the Grand Hotel in the island and Mackinaw Bridge. Perfect location. The house is plenty of space for a large group and is well appointed. Great stay.

    Great beach house with wonderful lakefront views and Mackinac bridge views. Very comfortable, both living area and beds were very comfy... great place to unwind, and a short trip to the ferry...although, we would recommend paying the $4 to cross the bridge to St Ignace, and get on the ferry there... much quicker, no lines!

    Wow! This house is the perfect getaway. It has everything: gorgeous views, location, entertainment, and comfort. This is our favorite vacation rental by far! The host is also the most responsive and courteous. She even messaged about the ferry tickets being on sale so we could save $$. This is definitely the place to stay in Michigan on Lake Huron. We absolutely loved it!
