Unique LARGE home on the shores of Lake Huron. Better than a cottage! Our family totally enjoyed our week and along with the water that was steps away, we were so close to Cheboygan, 14 miles to Mackinac City and the Mackinac Bridge. Our Host got back to us quickly regarding any questions we had. If you have a large group - this could work for you.

A group of 8 stayed in this home for a week. Being on the lake was a huge plus. Temps got into the 90's, and the house has no A/C. The owners have fans in every bedroom and left a new fan for the kitchen/living room. We also had severe wildfire smoke for multiple days. Despite all that, we had a wonderful time. Was a great location as a base for our day trips to explore the area.Any questions or concerns were addressed very promptly. The Rock house was a very unique experience and the owners very responsive.

Cool property. Every room had a view of the lake. Our weather was only fair but good spot nonetheless just woulda been better with more sun. Plenty to do as mackinaw city was only 20 minutes.

Amazing view!

What an amazing property! View is amazing from every room. The kitchen is well stocked. The beach is really private and a wonderful place to enjoy long days! Two things to make others aware of - there is no A/C which is probably rarely needed, but we had a hot week. The host was great and ordered fans for us. The design of the house is also very open and therefore some rooms are not very private. Overall great stay and would definitely come back!

Stunning views sunrise & sunset!

Our family joined together to celebrate our youngest Birthday! It was an intimate family event! We all loved our rooms! Cooking together in your fabulous kitchen and bbq’s! S’mores and chats fireside! The views were fantastic. Swimming everyday! Quick day trip to Mackinac. Downtown Cheboygan was convenient for ice cream and last minute items! Our host was easy to contact. We hope to make an annual family trip! Just what we all needed! Highly recommend! Many thanks!

Beautifully sited house with a lovely view of the channel between the house and Bois Blanc Island to the north. Windows around the house are so plentiful that the interior is perfect for viewing outdoors and natural light. It is also very convenient for a drive to Mackinac City where you can catch a ferry to Mackinac Island. A couple of items to be aware of that I may overlooked when reserving the house is that the second floor is non-traditional in the layout where there aren’t any walls between the bedroom or bathroom and the atrium connecting to the first floor. While curtains are in place for visual privacy, there’s no audio privacy. The second item is that one of the bedrooms on the second floor is only accessible by walking through the primary bedroom space. This can make for an awkward situation if you’re staying with friends but we made it work.
Early morning sunrise.
Enjoying the fire pit.
Looking to the north from the shore.
Looking from the primary bedroom on the second floor across the atrium and into the primary bathroom. Note that this area is all open and you must pass through this bedroom to reach one of the bedrooms on the second floor.

The setting is absolutely beautiful. The downstairs is especially stunning, with the windows and back door perfectly framing Lake Huron. I loved the deck and the back of the house, and the koi pond entryway was a wonderful touch that made the property feel extra special. There were a lot of nice touches around the home.There were, however, a few things that caught us off guard. We prefer privacy, so bathrooms with large windows but no curtains were unexpected. The lack of air conditioning would have been fine if more of the windows had screens to let in the breeze, but not the bugs. We also experienced a problem at check-in; while the owner was easy to contact and very responsive, I don’t feel we were fully compensated for the inconvenience, particularly since we were traveling with two children and two elderly family members.That said, the beauty of the home and its peaceful lakeside setting made our stay memorable.
