About this property

Tranquil Retreat or Romantic Getaway in Beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

A beautiful log home apartment in the woods. A tranquil, peaceful and private getaway in a safe area. Also handicap accessibility. A short distance from Lake Michigan with spectacular views of the Mackinac Bridge, islands and wildlife. Near Sand Bay, a sandy beach for swimming and kayaking. Many tourist attractions: Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Sault Locks, forts and museums.
I have lived in Saint Ignace all my life - my roots here go back to 1885. My family are some of the first settlers in this quaint city. I LIVE ON SITE. My home is divided with private entrance for visitors. No shared space. Enjoy my beautiful island flower garden with pond and lighthouse and the train garden. Wildlife including deer and even a moose have stopped by for a visit. Truly a tranquil romantic paradise!

For those with allergies - rest assured that there has never been a pet inside the log home apartment.
Electric heat, air conditioning and air filtering system. There are no fragrances.
Well water and Culligan's reverse osmosis water filtering system.
Free and sensitive detergents.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful! It's extremely restful, and we had a great time sleeping in, reading on the couch, and cooking with the well-equipped kitchen. Everything is very clean and in good repair, and the checkout requirements are within reason. The nature surrounding the cabin is also amazing, with so much green forest as well as quick access to the lake shore. Also Mary Lynn herself is so sweet; she's an excellent host who knows the area super well. We would highly recommend the cabin, and we think it makes an excellent case for the St. Ignace side of the bridge!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lynn Swiderski

Host profile image
I have lived in beautiful St. Ignace all my life. My ancestors on both parent's side were some of the first settlers here in 1885. I love being surrounded by the water - Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. I am an avid biker, hiker, I love kayaking, boating, fishing and hanging with friends.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet. Only two houses on this private gravel road. I am surrounded by trees and wildlife. Lake Michigan is right around the corner from my lovely log home. It has spectacular views of the Mackinac Bridge, sunsets, water and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The log home is unique with beautiful gardens in a quiet tranquil wooded area.
