Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location for us bc we did some day hikes and went to the island! Beautiful setting with the lake! I would say the tub/shower bathroom needs an update at least the shower head. nice to have two bathrooms but the tub/shower not so great.Tvs are a little out dated as we like to watch college football. We also had cold windy weather and some of the heating units had unique knobs and the kitchen one never worked. We stayed warm though without it! Kitchen chairs are also broken, the legs need some help.The “den” is a great bonus to hang out in! All in all our stay was great and the place worked for us! ##### Shelly V.

The property was exactly as described and had all we needed! It was wonderful to be right on the lake and enjoy the beautiful views and sounds! Close enough to town and Mackinac that they were easy to get to, but far enough away to feel like we escaped for a few days! Thank you so much! ##### Kathryn F.

There were plenty of sleeping options, the kitchen was stocked and the bonus room in the garage was awesome! As other reviewers stated, the lake is shallow (we didn't mind one bit!),and if you're not accustomed to well water you may think it 'smells funny.' Again - it didn't bother us. The location is FANTASTIC for visiting St. Ignace, Mackinac Island and surrounding areas. ##### Cristy M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole F.

It is excellent for a family with kids as it has games nice kitchen and plenty of comfy places to sit. Beds are very comfortable. There are some upgrades that need to happen though. For a lake place it needs screens on the sliding doors so you can enjoy the fresh air and not have bugs come in. Bathroom showers need to be improved. The curtains need to be Real curtains instead of see through sheers for privacy. The red kayak leaks needs to be fixed or replace. With those upgrades it would be fantastic. ##### Karen J.

Aug 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Generally Good Stay Liked having the kayaks, paddle boat and fire pit. Quick helpful response from the owner to get the paddle boat out of the garage. Liked the fun red outside lawn chairs. Did NOT like the bright primary-colored interior sheer draperies! Being sheer there was no privacy for anyone sleeping on the futon or pull-out sofa. Kids especially will not do well with all the light they let through. The bright blue, yellow and red were uncomfortable and mis-matched for the nice, restful interior colors of the home. We would like to go back, but please change those draperies out to something more suitable-both color and light-blocking! We did feel the place was clean and appreciated that care. ##### marvin h. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica D. Sep 1, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, amazing lakefront! Staying in the mostly remote area on Brevort Lake was exactly what we needed to unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. The lake is very nice and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat daily. The water is very shallow and safe for all ages. The view of the lake, the ducks, the sounds are all the highlight of renting this house! Staying a week here made us consider purchasing our own place on Brevort Lake. The house is fine and met all our needs. The main areas are clearly cleaned but the whole house could use a deep clean from cobwebs, dirt and a fresh coat of paint to cover old stains. The bathrooms are the most outdated and while technically clean, it's hard to get past the perception. For us, the house was a place to sleep and eat between the many adventures we took in the UP. We had bonfires every night in the gorgeous yard. Reviews are subjective so keep that in mind - for me, if I was looking for a place where I'd be spending most of my day in to relax and take in the scenery, I'd prefer somewhere more updated mainly because I don't get to go on vacation often. All in all, the location is as ideal as it gets to explore eastern UP, the lakefront is perfect for adventures with smaller children and relaxing morning kayaks, and we just fell in love with the area! ##### Jessica D.

Our family loved the game room and lake in the background. Quiet and beautiful. There were leaches in the water so we stayed to the shore except when using the paddle boat and kayak. Also, the water smells like sulfur or copper but I’m guessing that’s due to the rural area so we didn’t mind. ##### Sarah W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lori G. Sep 3, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was exactly what was promised as far as space. There was a lot of dish ware and pots and pans to use and plenty of linens. The view and access to the lake are stunning. I believe with a little TLC this property could go from good to wonderful. Some items were dated and a little worn out. The landscape needed some extra attention. It would also be very helpful to have instructions on how to use the heating in the house. Overall a good experience for all of us. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e0780a7-2359-46c5-b5b4-7fee17dc02cf-1756937023370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lori G.

I know that can't be helped, but I really wish we would have been warned in advance so we could have taken better precautions. It was a huge bummer - we were all super itchy and couldn't touch the water for the rest of our trip. The description of the property advertised great swimming in front of the house, which is not accurate with swimmer's itch in the water. My kids were so bummed to not be able to swim.I will say the cottage was cute and had everything we needed. All questions were answered in a timely manner and check in and check out was easy. Great location close to the bridge and Lake Michigan beaches. ##### Jen H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Phillip F. Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Overall it met the needs. We were there to fish. The cabin could use a few small upgrades to make it more convenient. I was hoping to park our fishing boat at the dock/stakes but the water was too low. The water is low on all lakes though. ##### Phillip F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rich I.

The lake activities, rec room (ping pong table especially), and general area were a hit! The lake water was so clear and it’s amazing how shallow it is so far from the shore. We enjoyed our stay! ##### Kara S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer M.
