This is a lovely cabin and right on the water. We had great views of the bridge and Mackinac Island. It was fun to watch the big freighters coming through the straits. It was clean and very cozy with everything we needed. It is a perfect location to discover the surrounding areas. We stayed a week and would rent this property again. The owners are very nice and were right next door while we were there.

The cabin was exactly as pictured. Clean and comfortable! It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the lake waves. Located just a few miles from Mackinaw City which is a fun place to explore. We would definitely return here if we are in the area again!

Relaxing cabin close to Mackinac!

Had a fun and relaxing stay. We always love locations right on the water so that our children can be near a beach. Short drive to Mackinaw city for shopping, food, and of course, a trip to Mackinac Island. We enjoyed evenings by the campfire admiring sunset views of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. Perfect place for star gazing too!

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location on the Straits of Mackinac. Clean, comfortable and well-equipped. When we arrived in the dark, Steve gave us great directions by telephone to get us in the right driveway. Good access to Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Exceptionally helpful host.

Steve was very helpful and kind. The house was great. It was right between Cheboygan and Mackinaw City. It was such a beautiful view. We loved being able to make a fire and sit by the lake. If we ever make it back to this area, we will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect Getaway

We loved staying at this cabin. The host met us as soon as we pulled in and gave us a tour of the place. It's in a perfect location as you are 10 minutes in either direction from where you want to be. The view from the cabin cannot be beat and the cabin itself has everything you need for your home away from home. Highly recommend!

Sometimes you sign up to stay at a place and the pictures don't line up with the actual property, or you worry about the condition of the property, or the grounds. This is one of those rare occurrences where the property vastly exceeded our expectations, and we had a truly fantastic time staying here and exploring the local sights. Awesome host, awesome property, and really good location for jumping of to Mackinaw, St. Ignace, and the UP
