Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Our check-in instructions ask guests to bring their own coffee and personal toiletries. We provide a starter supply of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and other basic essentials, though we cannot guarantee that coffee or other food items will be available. We also appreciate your comments about the lighting, bathroom breaker, furniture, and bed size. Your feedback is helpful as we look for ways to improve our guests’ experience. Regarding the messages you described as threatening, we’d appreciate it if you could clarify which specific messages you’re referring to. We send reminders about trash disposal instructions and overdue balances, but these are intended to communicate property guidelines and payment information, not to make guests feel uncomfortable or threatened. We want our communication to be clear and helpful, and we would have been happy to clarify any concerns had we known during your stay. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

St. Ignace

Awesome location! This property has everything needed for your stay. I am used to sleeping with a window open and the bedroom does not have a window. Also the closets had a lot of seasonal items in storage which meant less places to put our shoes and clothes. Overall a really nice place with easy access to everything in town. Would definitely stay again.

Saint Ignace - 3 day excursion

The property was described accurately. Everything was fine. One thing I will say - the walls must be paper-thin or not insulated at all. Any noise from outside came right in. Ferry boat horns and there was some kind of car show beginning to happen and apparently one of the criteria for the cars was to be crazy loud. We could hear every voice and every muffler that was anywhere nearby. Otherwise, great stay and happy with the condo and how it was furnished.

Perfect Location

This 1 bedroom condo is in the perfect location. It provides easy access to Starline's Mackinac Island Ferry Terminal that is SOUTH along State Street; a short 7-8 minute walk. Condo is across the street from St. Ignace's Ace Hardware Store, placing it in the center of everything in town, with easy walking access to shops and the boardwalk along the water's edge. You will need a car for grocery runs to Family Fare Supermarket and there is a designated parking spot for the unit. The condo is clean, well-equipped and cozy. The air conditioner worked well (which was nice since the area had unexpectedly high temperatures the week we were there). Unit is professionally managed by North Michigan Vacation Rentals (NMVR) 906-643-9242. They responded to all my emails within 24 hours, and approx 2 days before our scheduled arrival, they provided door code for independent access to the condo.

The place had everything we needed for what we had planned. Parking wasn’t labeled well and the Masonic lodge had people park on what we thought was our spot. They left relatively early so not a big deal but we were there before peak season. Great place to stay overall.

Overall a nice stay

The condo #1 was nice and had a great kitchen area. It was very quiet which was wonderful. Excellent location and great parking. I would definitely stay again, but in #2. Was disappointed that there was no balcony as listed in description. The existing balcony is located off of #1, so if you don't come with other people that stay in that condo; then you are out of luck. I was hoping to sit outside and have a drink and relax! The scenic view was primarily the hotel across the street, but you can see a little of the lake. No windows in the bedroom, so bring a fan if you want some circulation.

Excellent location for a fun vacation

The apartment is clean, new and beautiful. It is located in the heart of St. Ignace, walking distance to most anything. Walk straight across the street to the boardwalk. Several great restaurants nearby. Easy drive to nearby hiking trails and a great base of operations for your vacation in the UP. Absolutely would stay here again.

Scenic view of the great lakes

My husband and I took the lake Michigan circle tour for our 40th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our overnight in St. Ignace after spending the day on Mackinaw Island. The condo was very homey and loved our stay.

Beautiful place to stay

We really loved our stay at this place. Property Manager were very helpful and responsive. Everything was as explained in the description, in fact it was more beautiful in person. This place is sparkling clean and the location is very pleasant. It is very close to downtown. Anything we needed was close by. We definitely recommend this place for our friends.

Clean but hot

The property was updated, clean, and overall very nice including a beautiful kitchen. The only problem was that it had a 12,000 BTU air conditioning unit that is not big enough to cool the condo. The condo is an upstair unit and it was ridiculously hot. There was no air in the bedroom and it was very stuffy. I would only consider staying here again in cooler temperatures.

Great place! Great location to catch ferry!

Perfect location to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island and many restaurants within walking distance. The place was even nicer than the pictures. Pretty good view of the water. Overall nice place and would recommend. Super clean as well. Thanks. Couple things we had trouble with was the internet and the bed was pretty worn out. The internet seemed to connect to the device but it would not download anything. Local Chanel’s on the tv did work well though. The bed also sags in the center so it was pretty tough trying to get a good nights sleep. Sometimes owners don’t know because they don’t sleep in the beds so it’s understandable. All easy fixes and thanks for having us.

Regrettable Experience

Arrived on a Sunday and found this note: "No air conditioning until Tuesday! We apologize for the inconvenience! Fan in Bedroom Closet." Even with the fan, it was stuffy in the apartment with no AC so I had to keep the windows open. Apartment is just off a busy road and noise from cars and trucks was very disruptive at night. Then, on Tuesday without contacting me ahead of time, a contractor entered the apartment and did some major work to install a plywood window frame as an exhaust for a noisy temporary portable unit which sat on top of a table in the dining area. I'm really disappointed with the inconveniences and disruptions that I experienced during my stay and I asked the owners to discount my rate in recognition of the fact that my experience with the property was not 'as advertised'. Here is their callous response: "your request for a discount was declined because the weather was not unbearable and the system was not down for the entirety of your stay". It's pretty clear that the owners of this property put their own needs before the customer and so I'll be choosing a different place to stay in the future. If you decide to rent this property you might get lucky if everything is working and you don't need to deal with the property management, but if something does go wrong, consider yourself warned!!!

Spacious, clean and comfortable

Usually I choose properties with more reviews than this one had on VRBO. Glad I took a chance - it was PERFECT for my husband and me (and the guest book shows it's been a rental since at least 2011). We were pleasantly surprised by the size; the pictures are accurate. And it's lovely! The view is mostly of a hotel parking lot, with a glimpse of the lake beyond - but huge windows let in lots of light. Lots of space to cook. Comfortable TV viewing. Fast WiFi. Comfortable bed. Really quiet, at least during our October stay. Excellent location. I have only two tiny suggestions and one caution. Could use a brighter light source near the couch, for reading. Kitchen knives need sharpening. And if you're sensitive to scent, note that there's lots of air freshener/drawer scent in use. Again, these are small things. Overall, I highly recommend. In fact, I would consider renting both units for a family getaway.

Hi Mary Jo, Thank you for the positive review......Yes, it was actually the first downtown condo type rental in St. Ignace and was so before social media was big and it didn't have a lot of reviews because we rented it through our company...(we(the owners) actually lived there when building our home). .Now almost all rentals are online with reviews following so we appreciate the nice feedback as well as suggestions. Knives are being sharpened today and new lights on the way:) will check the scent note too! It's a great place for two families because of the connector units so hope you can take advantage of that too!.... Thank You! Cheryl & Jimmy ( owners) Northern Michigan VR (Management)
