The house has an amazing view, super great location. It is in a quiet neighborhood. We have stayed here multiple times and look forward to our vacation here each time. thank you!!
The place was very clean and cozy. The view was amazing , being right on the lake . It was close to the Mackinac ferry. They paid great detail with all of the amenities. We definitely would return!
This cottage was everything the were looking for clean comfortable. The back porch was a dream. Right on the lake amazing views. You just felt at home. We will definitely be back.
What a beautiful place to stay! There were gorgeous sunsets to the west and a view of the bridge to the east! It’s pretty close to many places and still feels secluded. We had plenty of room to move around in and on the property and felt very comfortable there. If we go up that way again we would definitely consider this property!
This was a beautiful little cottage on the water. If you are looking for peaceful sounds of the water lapping the shore while you drink your morning coffee this is a perfect spot. From the cottage you have views of the Mackinaw bridge and the light house on St. Helena Island.
Visited recently with my family and we couldn't have picked a better location. The view from the home was stunning. We enjoyed slow mornings watching the waves and I witnessed the most magnificent sunset. We definitely plan on visiting again!!
Felt like home. We really did not want to go home. Hearing the waves crash outside every night was priceless. Sunsets were incredible. We will be back but this time we will fly so we can spend more time at the property. Thank you Nicole we loved the property.
Our Host Nicole was the BEST! She went over and above at making our trip prefect, very helpful and friendly. The views from the cottage are breath taking. The cottage is clean and comfortable and equipped with everything that you need. The fireplace pit is right on the water front where you can watch the amazing sunsets. We will for sure be staying there again.
