Beachfront Cabin on Straits of Mackinac

Our home is located right on the Straits of Mackinac. With scenic views of Mackinac Island, the Mackinac Bridge and the freighters passing, it is the most relaxing getaway. We are located just over a mile away from one of the ferry lines that take you to Mackinac Island and walking distance from the Lumber Jack show. We are right on the water so you have your own beach. The house also come with free access to a local waterpark and discounts to local restaurants.

Great view but did not comfortably sleep 6. The sleeper sofa was so uncomfortable a group slept on the floor instead. If you have a group of six be prepared for only 2 queen beds. The proximity to town and view of the water were beautiful!

Great location; worked well for our family

We loved the location; easy 15-min bike ride on a lovely packed gravel trail to the ferry! The beach behind the house is rocky, but my kids really enjoyed collecting rocks and feathers on it. Great view of the bridge! The house itself was fine; it worked well for our family. We enjoyed meals on the screen porch right on the water! There were a few things that could use attention: one burner on the stove didn't work, many of the doors & windows were hard to open, the bathroom mirror was missing the middle part...etc. The kitchen was small but functional, though there isn't much in the way of cooking implements; plan simple meals or bring your own cooking stuff. The house was pretty clean, though some of the dishes had food residue. Overall, the house worked well for my family of 5, though it could benefit from some simple updates.

Birthday weekend trip

After reading the reviews I was a little worried on booking, but I was like hey everyone has a different experience. The house was very clean! Our favorite view was from the backyard/sunroom. Nothing beats that beautiful view! The only thing bad that I have to say is if you like a little night pizza to snack on bring your own pizza cutter! But otherwise our stay was wonderful. The host communicated back with us in a timely manner. I would definitely stay at this location again.

We got there to no heat and a garage smelling like gas. The house was very cold we left and got a hotel. Very disappointed will never go back.

Starting with the good great location and view. It was clean. The bad.. In the bathroom off the kitchen, the door did not close all the way/blocked by the washing machine, so it made going to the bathroom uncomfortable. The fridge in the kitchen stopped working correctly Saturday night, not keeping stuff cold. The screens in the three season room had rips, that let bugs in. several weeks before we arrived I aske Jodi for a phone number in there was issues. She did not provide one, SO If left me to believe I was a introruption of her day and not a important part of her day. Most of the lawn chairs are broken.

SPECTACULAR LOCATION ! ! !

We loved our stay here ! Your backyard is Lake Huron ! 40' away from the back door. View also includes Mackinac Island and you're just a short drive from Mackinaw City and Lake Michigan. House is very well kept.

Run down

Everything in the cottage feels about 40 years old, and very low quality. Cheap blinds do not block out light, no hand towels or washcloths in kitchen, powder room is right off kitchen with a door that won't close because the washing machine is too big so if someone is in the kitchen you have zero privacy in the bathroom. Dirty old couch and throw pilliws, filthy, broken outdoor chairs etc. I message the owner asking where I might find some kitchen towels or paper towel.She responded by leaving 1 roll of the cheapest paper towel on the dirty floor of the garage for me.

Great location if you’re not picky about details

Beautiful location on the water but the cabin needs a lot of updating. The outside light as well as the garage light were both burnt out, making our checking in after dark tricky. The kitchen had minimal supplies (no oven mitts), the stove is very old and outdated (the text on the knobs is even worn away), and the refrigerator did not keep things cold. You couldn’t close the door to the half bath, the washing machine was in the way. The tv signal was in and out regularly. The slider doors on the porch (to exit to the backyard) were difficult to slide. And overall cleanliness was not 100% (some dusty surfaces). If you’re only sleeping there, not huge issues, but we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
