Fun fall stay in Les Cheneaux

A charming and unique place on its own little peninsula with views of islands and the Hessel marina. It is an older house but it's been updated with enough modern amenities to make our long weekend comfortable and convenient. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, a camp fire, and easy strolls to town for the Sunday market at the historic school and the Islander restaurant.

Like staying at Auntie’s house

The house was cozy and comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s older but clean, quaint and functional. Kind of like staying at an elderly Aunt’s house! The floors are a bit wonky, but it adds to the charm. The land and beaches are just gorgeous. You cannot beat the view! We brought our kayaks and put them in the bay on calm days, and the pond on windy days. We used the outdoor fire pit every evening, and had excellent star-gazing weather.

Rustic Charm

This property was exactly what we were looking for, we enjoyed the rustic charm, the views, the privacy, the proximity to Hessel, Cedarville and St. Ignace. Excellent stargazing a plus. Communication with owners was 100% easy. Really enjoyed our stay.
