Beautiful sunsets!!

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!

Best Time Ever ..!..

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.

Cottage with a view

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.

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.

Our first UP adventure and my sister’s wedding 💒

It was an amazing experience! The view, the home, just wonderful! We really enjoyed watching and hearing the ships coming through the straits. Watching the sunset over the lake. Seeing the bridge lit up at night. The entire trip was amazing! Thank you for sharing a wonderful, clean, and comfortable home for us to stay in!
