Great family getaway

The property was perfect for our family vacation. Location is great, a quick boat or car ride to downtown. The house is very clean and has a beautiful porch, with a great view of the river. The owner was very easy to reach and communicated with us throughout our stay.

Quality family time

We had a wonderful time at Paul’s house on the river! The pics on VRBO didn’t do the house/property enough justice- we were so excited once we arrived & found it to look even better in person! We also rented the pontoon boat - definitely a must! Check in was easy & we appreciated all of the instructions on the iPad. The kids stash of toys in one of the bedroom closets was a fun find for my niece! Loved the kitchen, cooked every meal, every day. Took us a few to figure out the keypad on the door & how to lock it when we left - maybe instructions on how to do that & how to work the tv would be good things to add to the iPad. It only rained one afternoon but that made the walk down to the boat muddy and slippery - a continuation of stairs or a wooden walkway from the back deck stairs to the dock would be a good project for the future. Loved the ability to do laundry while there. Great location & easy to get to. Would love to go back sometime :) Also one of the cleanest vacation homes we’ve rented.

Perfect fit

First of all, this location was perfect for taking advantage of everything Black River has to offer. We enjoyed the convenience of using our boat for water sports, while also enjoying the inland water way! The updates of the house were a pleasant surprise! We felt like it would be easier to list the pros and cons. Most certainly would love to return if we’re welcome, based on an incident that occurred with the pool table. Cons No ladder (off the dock) Lack of kitchen stuff (flat spatula, wooden spoons, pot holders) Dock cleats Dock bumpers Something better to take things down to the water Light switches (would be nice to have more labels so we know what goes to what) Grill on the upper deck would be nice Room darkening curtains Needing the host to reset the iPad code personally Pros Space Parking 2 masters Outside beverage cooler Attentiveness of Paul Fire pit iPad and communication Towels Hospitality (wine) cleaning supplies, garbage bags Thanks again Paul!! We appreciated your attentiveness!!

Great stay

The house has several updates that were very nice. The use of the pontoon boat was great, and the owner communicated very well.

Lake views and water access with a modern aesthetic

My husband, two sons, mother, and I, all stayed at this Lakeside property in early June. Due to some issues with timing, there were still some renovations left to be completed to the property. That didn’t stop us from enjoying the amenities. Paul was responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Once the renovations are finalized, this will be a perfect location for any family vacation in the Mackinaw City/Cheboygan area. Upon check-in, we were pleased to find an iPad welcoming us and providing tips on our stay. Paul stayed in communication during the entire week and was extremely helpful. If you enjoy cooking, you can look forward to using a Viking range with a grill top option. There’s also an outside grill it was the perfect size for our party of five. If you have more than that staying with you, plan to cook in shifts as it is a smaller grill. The pool table was a nice treat, and offered the opportunity to have a little competitiveness in the evening after a day of touring. Both upstairs and downstairs have large screen televisions with multiple apps. We were just a little confused on which services were available. It might be good to have a list of what is able to be used, but we figured it out. If you take advantage of the option to rent a pontoon boat, it makes for a lovely day out on the water. The kayaks are also an option. My two sons enjoyed kayaking together as we sat on the boat and watch them. A good time was had by all!
