Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy One of the best rental properties I've stayed in. The house was stocked with all the necessities, which is unusual, I've always had to supply soap, paper towels, toilet paper etc. in other places, but not here. It is well maintained and clean. The view is just stunning. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Renee S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy O.

The beach was nice. The neighbors were close. I loved the upstairs bedroom by the lake. It was nice to leave the window open and listen to the waves. ##### Wendy O.

Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow! Fantastic home on Lake Huron What a beautifully renovated, clean, comfortable, well stocked home just steps from Lake Huron. Our extended family spent Labor Day week relaxing by the fire pit enjoying the beautiful sunsets each evening. During the day we rock hunted, fished (not much luck) walked the beach, visited Mackinac Island and enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful property. I would definitely return and high recommend this property when visiting the area. ##### Laura B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SarAndy D. Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake front home! We had a fantastic family vacation! The house is very clean and was enough space for our family of 5. While the weather the week we stayed was on the cooler side, our kids still enjoyed playing on the beach and in the water. Gorgeous sunsets every night often from the fire pit! Quiet, relaxing - highly recommend! ##### SarAndy D. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard F.

The view was absolutely amazing. Loved the patio and fire pit located right out the back door with a beautiful view of Lake Huron! We plan to make this a yearly getaway! Only downside was a million mayflies but not the fault of the property, just May in northern Michigan. Loved it!! ##### William A. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mae B. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property and location - shady neighbor The property was beautiful. Location was amazing. However, our first evening we were sitting out by the fire and the neighbor came over to tell us the house is in a home association and quiet time was 10:00. We were never told the home was in an association and there was a “quiet time”. We are all adults and weren’t being loud by any means … just enjoying the evening fire after our long trip to get there. We thought that was all a little odd. The next day, we all took a trip to the island and when we came back there was a bunch of sticks etc in our fire pit that we didn’t leave. I messaged the office and they were going to see if the owner had been there. We were all a little concerned someone had been in our house. I messaged the office 2xs about this with no response. I called on the day we left and she said the owner wasn’t there and it was probably the neighbor cleaning up the yard. I then asked about the home association and quiet time we were told about by the neighbor. Management said they were not aware of any of that. So I’m not really sure what happened, but it all seemed a little shady. Regardless, we did enjoy our time and the amazing views and the private-ish beach area! ##### Mae B.
