Lake property was beautiful. We definitely enjoyed the time outside. The inside could use updates. The showers were not desirable and the sponge to wash dishes was gross. Our children loved the games in the game room!

Great stay during our family trip to the UP! Our family loved the game room and lake in the background. Quiet and beautiful. There were leaches in the water so we stayed to the shore except when using the paddle boat and kayak. Also, the water smells like sulfur or copper but I’m guessing that’s due to the rural area so we didn’t mind.

Great location for us bc we did some day hikes and went to the island! Beautiful setting with the lake! I would say the tub/shower bathroom needs an update at least the shower head. nice to have two bathrooms but the tub/shower not so great.Tvs are a little out dated as we like to watch college football. We also had cold windy weather and some of the heating units had unique knobs and the kitchen one never worked. We stayed warm though without it! Kitchen chairs are also broken, the legs need some help.The “den” is a great bonus to hang out in! All in all our stay was great and the place worked for us!

Great area and cute cottage, BUT we all got swimmer's itch! I know that can't be helped, but I really wish we would have been warned in advance so we could have taken better precautions. It was a huge bummer - we were all super itchy and couldn't touch the water for the rest of our trip. The description of the property advertised great swimming in front of the house, which is not accurate with swimmer's itch in the water. My kids were so bummed to not be able to swim.I will say the cottage was cute and had everything we needed. All questions were answered in a timely manner and check in and check out was easy. Great location close to the bridge and Lake Michigan beaches.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
