Rustic Cabin, 6 miles from Mackinac Bridge, sleeps 6 on 10 secluded acres

High-speed wifi! ATTENTION JUNE AND OCTOBER GUESTS! It will be chilly, and the only heat source is a wood burning stove. Keep that in mind when booking, thanks! Converted Pole-Barn into summer home, 12 minutes to Mack City and ferries. It's in the country, so you'll be driving down 3 miles of dirt roads. 10 acres all to yourself, no neighbors, fire-pits,basketball hoop, corn hole. 2 bedrooms, queen beds. Pull-out couch in living room, 2 additional couches that people tend to sleep on. Bathroom/shower/hot water, towels, linens, pillows, hot plate, cookware, utensils, coffee maker (bring your own coffee), all the basics you might need EXCEPT heat/ac and an oven. There's a half mile trail that encircles the property. Everyone that's rented so far has loved it! Most properties this size and this close to Mackinac are pricey, so this is a great deal. It's not fancy, but it's exactly what everyone comes up north for: Relaxation, laughs around the campfire, family time.

Check in was very easy and the instructions on how to best access the property were helpful. It is gravel for a few miles to get to and access the property. We enjoyed the peaceful, no city noise and lights atmosphere and the chance to connect with our children through playing games. Unfortunately, no bug spray we had worked to keep the mosquitoes away to truly enjoy the outdoor space. It's rustic, but well kept. The interior was eclectic and kept is busy looking at everything on the walls. Overall, enjoyable stay.

This property is way out in the boonies. It didn’t have gas for the grill and supposedly we were supposed to bring our own gas. Really!!! The inside had a musty smell. Cool concept but not what we were looking for.

Peaceful cabin in the woods

This place is a true gem. It's close enough to the excitement of Mackinaw but far enough away for you to escape to the peace and quiet of the countryside. My family really enjoyed our stay and the recommendations from the host were top notch.

Rustic property nestled in the woods

If you enjoy camping and being in the wilderness, this is your place! We enjoyed the quiet setting and the spaciousness. Everything was very clean and had a unique vibe. The beds were very comfortable.

"The Structure"

Stay was great! This place is a great location for multiple up north towns(Cheyboygan, Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Charlevoix, St Ignace and more). We went in October and the colors were absolutely stunning especially on the trail around the property.

Perfect place to unplug

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at John's place. It was quiet, clean, and a true getaway from the hustle of life. If you enjoy nature and serenity then this is the perfect place. Great location to visit Mackinaw City and Island. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, private property with delightful character and good vibes :)

Love the trail throughout the woods on the property! High quality CD player with many good jams :) not overly fancy but exactly what you want from a northern Michigan getaway. Super close to mackinaw and beaches in the area. Communication with the host was incredible.

Peaceful and relaxing!

It was great to disconnect and relax during this secluded stay. Plenty of options for fun here, we played some board games and threw on some vinyl. I’d love to see what this place is like in the fall!

We loved our stay at the cabin. I was a little concerned that the spotty internet would be a problem. I had some reception outside and little in the cabin. It was exactly the prompt I needed to disconnect and talk to my family. My only heads up is that the roads leading to the cabin are gravel towards the end. We had some substantial rain, which led to divots and potholes. All totally normal for the area. Had I known that, I would have considering driving my vehicle with a little more clearance.

Family bonding time

Last minute decision to book this place and it was well worth it. Got to hang out with family by the fire and watch the kids play in the woods. Much needed vacation only wish it was longer but next time will be.

Relaxing Getaway

We were looking for a place that forced us to unplug, slow down and yet still be close to some attractions. We found it here! My wife and I had just that so thank you for allowing us to enjoy your great space. Bonus we were able to bring our 6 month old puppy along. She loved exploring and stretching her legs out.

Cozy and secluded

Cool on the outside, cool on the inside. Loved the open concept. Very private, but conveniently located near the Mackinac bridge. We enjoyed some cool trails around the property, played some basketball, and had a nice campfire. Loved that it was pet friendly. If your looking for a great experience, this is a hidden gem!
