The TOP was the perfect island getaway. It is a great location. You are in the woods and can enjoy the tranquility. It is a 10 minute walk to Snow beach. Matthew was a great host. He communicated well and helped us with one minor issue we had quickly. The place is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. We can’t wait to return next year.

This small cabin is tucked in the woods, just off the main road around Bois Blanc Island in the Mackinac Straits. The easily accessible lakefront has one of the few sandy beaches. My daughter, her husband, and their two Border Collies shared this rental with me. It was cozy and well-equipped. There is no WiFi, but a lazy, secluded vacation on this island gem doesn't need WiFi!A great time all around and the host was polite and very responsive to any questions we had.
