Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My family (6 adults ages 25) chose to stay here for a 5 day vacation. We had an absolute blast and LOVED the porch looking out over the lake. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and cooking supplies, and the owners did a great job stocking the house with all basic necessities. It was a beautiful property and we enjoyed the privacy and location. ##### Sarah P. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily S.

The sunrises were amazing.It’s unfortunate that the beach is mucky, we would have enjoyed it more if we could have gone into the water. We did find a beach a couple of blocks away that we did enjoy.The home is well stocked with everything we needed.The bugs are pretty intense at times, bring your bug spray! ##### James and Cheryl D.

Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The porch with the view of the lake was pure Michigan We took a short family trip and spent all of our time at the cabin on the porch or asleep. The view was amazing for both sunrise and sunset. We saw sailboats, heron, an a bald eagle that landed a fish. We took the kayaks out on the lake. We played Euchre and relaxed as we took in the lake and all the colors of the sky. We even looked up to see the Milky Way and stars at night. The only downsides were the muck on the lakeshore and the mosquitoes...but those are all part of nature and the porch keep them at bay. The inside was clean and comfortable too! ##### Amy G.

Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Road trip to Mackinac Island We initially booked the trip & then was notified that our reservation had been cancelled due to the property being sold. Fortunately, the new owners honored our booking & even honored the previous pricing, without hesitation. The property was great. Somewhat secluded. Right on the shores of the lake. The house was very clean & had everything we needed, and more. The owners were pro-active in providing info for everything we needed. I just wish we would have scheduled more time, so we could have spent time at the property. We were always on the move during our stay. If we go back, we will stay here!! ##### Danny M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla K. Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We absolutely loved staying at this place! The host was so helpful before our trip. He always answered questions within a timely manor. It made packing for the trip much easier. Check in was easy and we quickly fell in love with the place. The location is so peaceful while still being close to plenty of activities and adventures. We even spent a day up in the UP. My families favorite place was the sun porch. We played lots of cards out there. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids loved going out and splashing around in the water and taking the kayaks out. There were some really nice swimming beaches not far from the house in either direction. The trading post up the road is so convenient and had firewood, ice cream, and smoked fish. The home was so clean. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09ee02f2-e6f5-41d6-8aff-70376992dab0-1755524391193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/540f1a7c-b8d4-4a25-9790-652190640f68-1755524390171.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/04fb8060-1c3c-4036-a22b-64d16a807aff-1755524386491.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/461d2b11-1e86-4de2-95b7-fa66ed5af9fe-1755524383476.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kayla K.
