We booked this cottage for a place to stay before the Mackinac Bridge walk. It was just what we needed for me, my husband and our adult son.

Absolutely beautiful lake. Clean cozy cottage. Be aware that you will share the outdoor space, firepit, kayaks, etc with whoever rents the other cottage. We had a large family take over the outdoor space, so it was awkward and uncomfortable. We were away most days seeing the sights and it felt like we were intruding when we returned each afternoon

Stay was nice but the lake was the gem. Cabin was not cleaned in advance of our stay. All other descriptions of property was accurate.

While vacationing, we prefer to stay off the grid from the attractions, but like to be close enough to have quick access. We loved this cabin! It was clean and cozy with a beautiful view. We looked forward to arriving back to the cabin nightly following our adventures to cook dinner in the grill, relax lakeside and enjoy the view. If we visit the area again, we’ll definitely book here.

Myself, my husband and our two children stayed. The accommodations were very good, clean and comfortable. There's a large, flat, green space for playing cornhole, bocce ball, ect. Tall, mature trees offer shade. It was everything I'd expect from a Northern Michigan lake cabin. It's close to the Mackinaw Island Ferries and the much bigger Lake Michigan. There's lots to do on this inland lake- canoeing, kayaking, fishing, boating, jet skiing... I gave it 4 stars because the yard and lake/dock area is shared with a neighboring cabin, which I was aware of, but I wasn't expecting to be in the middle of a family reunion. There a rule against large gatherings, but I guess it depends on your definition of "large". The owner was very responsive to emails and texts.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay
The cottage was super cute and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the views were wonderful of the lake. We really enjoyed getting in the water, sitting on the dock, roasting marshmallows around the campfire with our neighbors. The restaurant a mile or so away was wonderful as well as the store across the road. This was a really neat place to stay!
