Overall it met the needs. We were there to fish. The cabin could use a few small upgrades to make it more convenient. I was hoping to park our fishing boat at the dock/stakes but the water was too low. The water is low on all lakes though.

Simple and stocked

This was a nice property in a great location. It is 20minutes from St Ignace, and the lake is great for swimming with small kids, for the depth is very shallow for quite a ways. We saw ducks, a porcupine, coyote, and more. The kitchen is well stocked, but my suggestion is guests bring a sharp chef’s knife if you plan to cook. Also, a few plates you can use in the microwave. The cupboards have the basics, but it is an eclectic mix of antique bowls and plastics. Our only real complaint was temp and water pressure in the showers. Showers take awhile, for there isn’t a lot of pressure, and the water fluctuates from very hot to cold. We loved the game room and gathering space so much. It was a great place to play when we had a rainy day. We never made use of the kayaks, but loved that we had the opportunity to use them. Our toddler loved the paddle boat. Loved our stay for our purposes and you can’t beat it for the price. Would stay here again.

Perfect home for my family of 4

This house was perfect for me and my family of 4. My kids (6 and 4) had a blast in the game room when we weren’t exploring Mackinaw and playing in the lake. It had everything we needed for a fun lake vacation.

Great place

We loved the location, quiet, views, and helpfulness of the property manager. We found the place a little beat up and not super clean, with a need of a few upgrades but only a few minor things... A solid value and very relaxing...

Right on the lake!

The property was exactly as described and had all we needed! It was wonderful to be right on the lake and enjoy the beautiful views and sounds! Close enough to town and Mackinac that they were easy to get to, but far enough away to feel like we escaped for a few days! Thank you so much!

Family vacation

We loved the variety of things to do here. The lake activities, rec room (ping pong table especially), and general area were a hit! The lake water was so clear and it’s amazing how shallow it is so far from the shore. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice location on the lake and very close to the bridge and other activities. Be sure to visit sand dunes beach. House had everything we needed but could use some updating and cleaning of cobwebs.

Cute Cottage

This place was the perfect little spot for a family weekend getaway. We actually loved that the water was shallow, as it was fun for the kids. The view is gorgeous! The cottage had everything we needed to cook meals, have a small bonfire, etc. the owner was also very responsive to our questions and concerns. Would definitely come back!

No Fuss, Great Location!

Our family of 5 recently stayed here and had a wonderful time! There were plenty of sleeping options, the kitchen was stocked and the bonus room in the garage was awesome! As other reviewers stated, the lake is shallow (we didn't mind one bit!),and if you're not accustomed to well water you may think it 'smells funny.' Again - it didn't bother us. The location is FANTASTIC for visiting St. Ignace, Mackinac Island and surrounding areas.

Great,Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was comfortable and very pleasant. There were lots of games on hand and the use of the kayaks and the paddle boat was a plus. Bring a few gallon jugs of drinking water especially if you are used to city water. There were several TVs in the house but we didn’t watch them. It was a very pleasant week.

Beautiful and quiet

We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. We stayed 4 nights with our two kids ages 9 and 7. The kids loved the lake and the den which had ping pong, cornhole and ladder ball for our use. The location was extremely quiet and the lake is beautiful and clean. The host was very friendly and responsive to our questions. St Ignace is a quick 20-25min drive away and you are near other beaches on Lake Michigan if you want to visit the big lake. There is also a zoo about 15 minutes away that our kids loved. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay here again!

Michigan Upper Peninsula

We had a great stay! The house was immaculately clean. The host was very responsive to questions. I am glad I read reviews before coming so I was prepared. The house has well water which has a metallic and foul smell as well water does. We knew in advance and packed water to drink and cook with. There is a nice grocery store about 20 min away. This was such a peaceful place with a stunning view.

Excellent with some needed upgrades

This place is a wonderful quiet location with many things to do. It is excellent for a family with kids as it has games nice kitchen and plenty of comfy places to sit. Beds are very comfortable. There are some upgrades that need to happen though. For a lake place it needs screens on the sliding doors so you can enjoy the fresh air and not have bugs come in. Bathroom showers need to be improved. The curtains need to be Real curtains instead of see through sheers for privacy. The red kayak leaks needs to be fixed or replace. With those upgrades it would be fantastic.

Not clean and questionable safety/maintance

Check in find left over beef jerky on the carpet and gummy worms in the windows. Bathroom tub that has not been clean and no its not hard water stains. Dishes in the cupboard not clean. Dishes are dollar tree hand me downs that suck. There is barely enough of one thing for a family of four to have the same thing. There is NO FIRE ALARMS, CO DETECTORS, OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE PROPERTY. The one bathroom with the dirty tub has a hose line out of a rv to wash yourself with. The toilet conststantly runs. The electical pannel is a very old Murray. Those have been Recalled and recomended to be replaced due to fire hazzard. The lights will flicker randomly in the building. There is crumbs everywhere. The beach is nice but the old reeds on the beach show the owner has never cleaned it. The grim on the boats that we are allowed to use show they have never been cleaned. The lack of maintance on the entire property shows. Doors that do not close. No ac in the building but there is no screens on the doors to let the air in. This could be a great property if the owners showed they care. While I was there a night light was very hot and starting to discolor. I unplugged it to prevent a fire.

Great for families

We had a great week here. The water is nice and shallow and great for the kiddos to swim in. The provided kayaks were a big hit. The two air conditioners provided were enough to keep the place cool. Kitchen was nicely stocked, we cooked most of our meals. The coffee pot is a mini, but there is a keurig type machine as well. Appreciated the clean fridge (not full of other renters leftovers or a dozen half empty condiment bottles.) Mosquitoes were heavy during our stay, make sure to bring bug spray! We had one small hiccup during our stay (bathtub was missed during cleaning prior to our arrival,) i reached out to the owner about it and received a quick response and the issue was resolved asap. My only recommendation would be to add some room darkening curtains, at least in the bedrooms. Nice cottage and plenty of room to spread out and relax with the fam.
