About this property
Straits View Shores on Lake Huron
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 your meals 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.

It was clean, well kept, organized, great view, lots of options for activities if you wanted. We mainly just slept here and went out and saw Michigan. It was comfortable and great for that though.
Great location, very clean, upscale rental with rustic decor. Thoughtfully stocked with movies, games, books. Beautiful view from house and deck of Lake Huron and the Mighty Mac.
Exactly what you’d picture when you think “Michigan summer getaway” beautiful and homey with a lovely beach. We also met the neighbor dog - a bonus! Definitely recommend and would stay here again!
This property was very nice with all the amenities you could ask for and it was close to everything in the area, but still somewhat secluded. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond. Would stay again.
My family had the best vacation exploring everything that the area has to offer. The home is beautiful, the property is conveniently located and all of the nature surrounding it is amazing. Hope to make this an annual trip with my kids.
House was very clean, offered a lot of amenities, beautiful view of lake, 10 minutes from Mackanaw city, lots of games and fans in all rooms. Highly recommend!
The views were amazing as you look out the kitchen you can see the Lake Huron! You can also see the beautiful Mackinaw bridge from the beach and the island! The bridge looks cool at night all lit up!
Overall this was a great stay. Beautiful view of Lake Huron and the kids had fun looking for rocks. Lots of privacy but close to Mackinaw City. Board games and cards for family fun! Only complaint was that the smoke detector constantly went off.
The house and property were exactly as advertised. Everything was neat, clean and well organized and the host was very responsive to questions. The view of the Mackinaw Bridge from the water’s edge was an added bonus.
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.
The property and house were wonderful and just like it was listed. The house is in a great location and it’s easy and quick to get to both Mackinaw City and Cheboygan. The house was well stocked with all the necessities plus fun extras like board games. My family loved the private beach and we enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace at night. It was too windy for us to do a bonfire, but the fire pit and the rest of the property were well maintained. We had a great, relaxing stay.
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.

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.
Nice place to stay and the location was excellent to see all the sights around Mackinac Island and the surrounding area. Views of Lake Huron, “the Might Mac” bridge was also wonderful..
Had a wonderful stay! Very family friendly and clean, rooms were comfortable. Very spacious and private although close to Mackinaw city , Mackinac Island and Charlevoix. Excellent time had by all!!! Highly recommended!
