Exceeded our expectations; the photos did not really convey how wonderful this property was! Well stocked, well maintained, easy checkout, stunning view. We have no negative comments to make regarding our stay. We loved it and would gladly stay here again!
We totally enjoyed our stay at the lakefront property. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. We had seven of us. The dining room table was ample big for meals and several hours of cards. The bedrooms were ample in size with great views of the lake out the windows. The locations served us well to kayak the Soo Locks and walk the narnia trail near cedarville. The suggestion given to eat at cattail cove was a good suggestion.
My friend and I stayed here for two nights. The home was lovely and had every extra imaginable - lovely decor, waffle maker, games cabinet, water shoes, cozy beds, and wonderful views of the lake (just to name a few). The house was very clean and just as described in the listing. There's a new swing near the shore as well. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!
What a perfect location to stay for my daughter-in-law's first ever trip to Mackinac Island! Loved the view, the location, and the peaceful mornings with coffee, a book and the lake to start your day! We cannot wait to come back!
We loved the house and the spectacular view! There was everything we needed and we were warm and comfortable. The location was perfect too! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing this lovely place .
Wonderful up north cabin with all amenities you could want. Clean with all the modern conveniences sans internet which was actually refreshing : )
We'll be back!
This was an amazing stay that is close to all the best spots of the eastern UP. the house is well maintained and we had no issues at all. Host was good with communication and loved being right on the water for such an amazing price as well. Would love to stay here again
The blue cabin was amazing, and our family had an awesome time. The pictures don't do it justice. We stayed there for 2 nights, but we could've easily stayed for more. The water activities are endless for the kids, and the shallow water was great for kayaking, swimming, etc. This cabin is a real treasure, and the family of owners are excellent people.

This property was perfect for us to be able to show off the beautiful landscape of Michigan to our family from down south. The location was perfect for us to do day trips to a few sights of the U.P. and then to relax on the waters edge at the end of the day. It could not have been better.
My family and I had an amazing time during our stay. The home is even better than we expected. Very comfortable, very homelike . We saw the most beautiful sunsets from the front porch And the swing by the lake. Highly recommended! The location worked out very well for us For our road trips every day. Thank you!
We stayed here because we wanted to walk the bridge Labor Day It is about 15 miles from the bridge The house is as pictured.Check in was easy.We loved the location since we were staying around that area. The beds are comfortable Saw an eagle a few times Can’t wait to go back
Rented this for a long weekend so we could attend the Les Cheneaux Hessel Wooden Boat Show. The house was very clean, the view to the lake was beautiful. Easy to find directions and a quick trip with our boat into the show. Our only complaint was with the weather, we missed the warmer days by about 2 days either side of our stay.
We would definitely recommend this place and stay they again!
This is a lovely cabin that is right on Lake Huron. Pictures do not do the property justice! You can tell this is a beloved family cabin and well cared for. It has all the amenities you would need for a peaceful getaway. Very clean! Short drive to St. Ignace. I would definitely recommend!!
This is a beautifully located, very nice home. We had a wonderful time. Bird watching was amazing from eagles, to osprey, to kingfishers, to the usual geese terns, and gulls. The kids loved playing in the clean, shallow water. Viewing the Mackinac Bridge and the fireworks from the living room was an added bonus!
This property was so thoughtfully stocked and prepped with everything you could possibly need or want. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. No wifi was only rough on my 9 year old daughter the rest of us agree it was not an issue. Our only gripe is we couldn’t stay longer. You will not be disappointed
This cute cabin was exactly what we needed for the Labor Day Bridge Walk. The sound of the lake coming through the windows at night and views of the bridge from the porch = perfect "up north" feeling. Communication with the owners and their daughters was always prompt and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
