Property great/Douglas Lake a disappointment
This cabin is well furnished and appointed. However, the fishing on Douglas Lake was a disappointment to say the least. First, the lake is difficult to navigate because its depths vary so dramatically. We had to be very careful just pulling our boat away from the dock each day. Second, we are experienced fishermen but nothing we tried worked; we caught a few "aquarium-sized" perch each day and that was it. We understand that previous renters of the property had a similar experience. We only saw one other boat of fishermen on the lake during the entire week. It was late in the season and the lake level may have been down but we don't recommend Douglas Lake for fishing.

Quiet Lakeside Getaway
Lovely property on a quiet lake near Mackinaw City. The home was clean and cozy, with all the supplies needed to have a restful visit! We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore, and thanks to the very friendly neighbors knew just where to go. Just 20-30 minutes from the Mackinac ferry lines, and plenty of other local activities. The internet/ WiFi/ streaming services barely worked at all, but luckily that wasn’t a priority for us. We had spotty cell service most of our visit (Verizon). Thanks for a great visit.

The PERFECT Week
I am hesitant to write about our stay because I am afraid I will never get the chance to go back as the cabin will be all booked up!! To say we had an idyllic week is not an understatement! Even though the smoke from the Canadian wildfires impacted our chances to be outside some days, we made the best of it. The cabin is absolutely perfect, has everything you need and is one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. My two teenage children, 19 and 17, also loved the trip! The cabin gave us the opportunity to power down, take a break, and connect as a family. We sat on the dock, played games, kayaked, cooked together, rented a pontoon boat and visited Mackinaw City as well as Mackinac Island. SEE!!! IDYLLIC. Both kids asked to return to the cabin next summer. The neighbors around Douglas Lake are some of the nicest people around. Oh, and we loved our dinner at Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse, just a half mile down the road. We had never been to this part of the country so were unsure what to expect. The cabin is "off the beaten path" so be prepared for that, but the general store a few miles away has everything you will need for a stay. We loved our trip! Five stars!

Great Property
The log cabin is very well kept up and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood only 50 feet from the lake. Only problem was operating the Smart TV with a jet pack. You must use streaming services only and your own personal passwords.
