    Great location right on the edge of Lake Michigan on a quiet road. The location is still very convenient to access I-75, drop down into St. Ignace, or hit the road to head West across the UP.

    The house is big enough to easily accommodate 4 adults.The kitchen is fully equipped. The fire pit is great and having a bonfire at the sunset on Lake Michigan was absolutely great.

    We enjoyed this surprisingly spacious, comfortably appointed home with stunning lake view. Very clean house and yard (with swing set.) We had a lakeside campfire our last night using the fire ring and camp chairs provided. It was a chilly weekend but the cottage was cozy warm with heated tile bathroom floor. Cool feature! Great reclining tub that our son-in-law soaked his legs in after running a race on Mackinac Island. Easy 9-11 min. drive into St. Ignace to the ferry and church, a pizza run and firewood. Big screen TV. Very attentive hosts. Lovely, quiet lake neighborhood street. Very safe and just far enough off the main road. We loved it!

    My first VRBO experience and I am afraid to try it again anywhere else. The standard here was set extremely high! What a perfect property for us to call home while in town for the weekend for a corvette show. Clean, well equipped, quiet, and absolutely STUNNING views and location! Thank you so much. Just arrived home and I already want to pack again and come back up! We appreciated your place very much! i guarantee we will be back!

    What a beautiful place to stay! There were gorgeous sunsets to the west and a view of the bridge to the east! It’s pretty close to many places and still feels secluded. We had plenty of room to move around in and on the property and felt very comfortable there. If we go up that way again we would definitely consider this property!

    Felt like home. We really did not want to go home. Hearing the waves crash outside every night was priceless. Sunsets were incredible. We will be back but this time we will fly so we can spend more time at the property. Thank you Nicole we loved the property.

    This was a beautiful little cottage on the water. If you are looking for peaceful sounds of the water lapping the shore while you drink your morning coffee this is a perfect spot. From the cottage you have views of the Mackinaw bridge and the light house on St. Helena Island.

    Our Host Nicole was the BEST! She went over and above at making our trip prefect, very helpful and friendly. The views from the cottage are breath taking. The cottage is clean and comfortable and equipped with everything that you need. The fireplace pit is right on the water front where you can watch the amazing sunsets. We will for sure be staying there again.
