SPECTACULAR LOCATION ! ! !

We loved our stay here ! Your backyard is Lake Huron ! 40' away from the back door. View also includes Mackinac Island and you're just a short drive from Mackinaw City and Lake Michigan. House is very well kept.

Great location

Enjoyed our stay. Property was just right for what we needed. Entryway was dark. Security code was not clearly visible. Other than that it was great and we would use this same property again.

Loved the view

House was very clean and the view is absolutely breathtaking. The only problem was not hearing back from our host. I had sent her a message a week before asking if there was a coffee pot or Keurig to bring pods but never got a reply. After arriving we tried our absolute best to get the WiFi but it would not connect. I sent her another email with no reply the entire 4 days we were there

Macinac Beachfront

The house was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake and the bridge. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the lake and having a full kitchen. On the negative side there was a distinct gas odor in the garage and I would have liked to have extra garbage bags and a few dish towels. I would definitely stay there again!

I loved the patio/sun room. It was quiet and peaceful and the bedrooms, living room,bathroom and kitchen were fine. The garage had a gas odor from the water heater or boiler. The location was great and I'd come back again.

Perfect Stay

Don’t know what the other reviews are talking about saying they grass isn’t mowed. The yard looks clean and well trimmed as well as the house. The trees provided perfect privacy from the neighbors when sitting on the beach. The owner provided several amenities and was a great help. overall perfect stay

Convenient Mackinaw Respite

Stayed for the first night of a 3 day tour of Northern Michigan. Enjoyable view of the bridge at night with a firepit on shore. Just a couple minutes outside downtown Mackinaw on a quiet residential street.

Outstanding view. The rest not great.

No hot water, natural gas leak, gas was shut off, mosquitoes in house, goose crap everywhere, can't open windows, can't shut bathroom door, grass was uncut, weeds everywhere, mosquitoes outside, could not be outside at all. Tv did not work, no internet, no wifi. Almost impossible to contact owner.
