Wonderful cottage near Mackinac but quiet and private

The cottage was perfect for our stay! It was calm and relaxing and had everything we needed! Our kids spent most of their time down at the lake and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. There was a strong smell of sulfur from the water, but other than that it was wonderful!

Beautiful home on the lake

Everything about our stay was perfect. The home was beautiful, extremely clean, and well equipped with everything we could need for our trip - this made traveling with two toddlers so much easier. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed bonfires, playing in the sand, and fishing. Communication with Allison was easy and prompt. We will definitely return again the next time we are in the area.

Awesome Place

Everything was exactly as listed/shown and everything we needed was provided. The lake is very shallow but worked well for us since that meant is was warm and kids enjoyed the water all week. Have no complaints everything works spectacular.

Absolutely amazing!

One of the best places we have stayed at in along time! So neat and clean and exactly how it was described. The place was stocked with everything you could think of and more! So many water toys, games, snacks, and just thoughtful items. It all made for a really great time. The only issue was that we couldnt stay any longer. The hosts were quick to respond and super nice. I would definitely come back! The sandy beach, warm shallow water, deck, toys, picnic table and everything else was just great. We enjoyed every minute!

Beautiful clean and relaxing!

We have stayed at many many cabins over the years and are well acquainted with cabin/lake life. With that said not all are as advertised but this one is! One of the cleanest houses we have ever rented. The attention to small details such as shampoo and soap, snacks, paper products, extra blankets and pillows are very much appreciated. The views are beautiful and the lake is very quiet, not much boat noise which we loved. We would definitely rent again!
