We actually did not get to stay at this particular location due to an unexpected issue at the property, but the property owners/manager bent over backwards to help to make sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend any properties listed by this owner/property manager. ##### Diana L. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Torre A.

The house was perfect for what we needed. The photos of the outside don’t do it justice! Beautiful/quiet lake and neighborhood. It’s a very short 8-10 min drive to Mackinac City/Mackinac Bridge. The kayaks were awesome and the blackstone grill was perfect for breakfast. Make sure to go to Harbor Lights Grille (1 min drive) for breakfast or dinner on the lake. ##### Torre A.

The firepit was enjoyable. Bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs was a little bit of an issue at night. Water pressure was a little low. The unit was clean and well kept, but the unfinished ceiling was a little shocking on first entering. The storm door was rotted out at the bottom. ##### Al P.

The lake was really calm most of the time we were there so the kayaks were put to use. We also harvested some of the wild mint down by the shoreline. Easy and quick drive to Mackinaw City, Wilderness State Park, and Headlands International Dark Sky Park - a must do activity!! Would recommend a drying rack or a clothesline since there’s not a washer/dryer. We made do with all the chairs, though! Definitely would like to come back. Thanks! ##### Kristi J.

Aug 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Beautiful spot, cabin is nice, seems to have an odd smell though, neatly kept though. The sofa chairs and carpet needs to be cleaned, feels very dirty. Otherwise nice, we very much enjoyed our stay. ##### Mark s.

Overall was a perfect place to stay for our short stay. Lake is beautiful & peaceful, no noise & very little traffic. Tried to do some fishing, but lake is very weedy and didn't have any luck after trying many different spots on lake. The Roku was frustrating to use since we weren't familiar; wished we could have gotten local channels for the news/weather. But all that was all minor. We really enjoyed our home away from home. ##### Lori A.
