Great place to stay

We were there for our son's wedding at the Headland park in October. The convenience was great. The house was much more that I expected. We enjoyed it so much that we would love to come back but our whole family is to large to rent here.

Too short!

Being on Lake Michigan was wonderful, 3 miles from downtown Mackinaw City. We had a great stay, and would come back again. Tim and Heidi were very responsive.

Lighthouse

Property was overall great. Owners were easy to text and deal with. My gps took us to the wrong location. But thats not on the owners. Beautiful house. Great location. We walked the beach of lake michigan. All the amenities you need. This time we washed our cloths begore we went home. May not seem like much. But it was great to not have to go home and do it. Lol. Really though. Great property and so happy this is the one that was chosen.
