The view of Mackinac Bridge was amazing and the location was very secluded and close to Mackinac City. The property and home itself could have been cleaned better. The sunroom off the back of the house was very dusty and covered in webs. The pull out couch linens had not been changed from previous guests as there were crumbs on the sheets.

We booked this rental last minute and it did not disappoint. It was a rather hot day and the place doesn’t have AC but we opened the windows and that cooled the place down. We had a great visit but would have liked to have working screen doors on the sun room to get a good breeze from the lake. Also, the powder room door does not close as the washing machine prevents it.

We enjoyed our stay overall. The house was very clean, the views of the water were beautiful, and the location was excellent—close to many attractions while still feeling peaceful. The bedrooms were comfortable.That said, the home is in need of some updates. The lack of ceiling fans in the living room and dining room made the afternoons and evenings quite warm, with very little air circulation. The living room couch appears to be very old and was uncomfortable to sit/sleep on. The sunroom could also use some attention, as several window screens were broken and leaked rain even with doors closed. The landscaping would benefit from weeding and general maintenance as well.With a few upgrades and some routine maintenance, this could be an outstanding vacation rental because the location and views are truly hard to beat.

Clean. Beautiful location with Lake Michigan out the back door. The temp went down to 32 and we messaged the host around 6 in the afternoon to ask about heat as we had none working. We never got a response so was very cold at night. There were also no fire alarms.

Do not rent this property. I had to contact the host to get the entrance code. The cleaner was still there but the house was clean. The tv didn’t work, one mirror in the bathroom was missing, the furnace didn’t work and you couldn’t open the sliders on the porch because the screens were too small for the openings. They did fix the tv and bring a space heater but we did not stay the night. After reading the reviews,I should have heeded them. Don’t be fooled thinking they will improve this property after reading the reviews. Again, don’t rent this property.

the view and location was great. however there are several updates that need to be made. Bathroom mirror broken middle section, over head light not working. Sun room screens need replaced, and it was very dirty. toilet paper holder broken. no dish washing soap, towels or wash cloth. only a part of a roll of paper towels. dryer door will not stay closed without a chair in front of it. outside chairs several broken. no trash bags. pictures need to be updated. stove should be replaced. Everyone should note that there is no AC, we did not need it but you might, and not sure i would trust the heating system.

This location was perfect for us and our 7 year old rescue Aussie Shepherd... Our goal was to "escape the normal" for 3 days.. enjoy time with a dog who needed a home after being "tossed out" and let him learn that he would go back to his new home... Off Season, the neighborhood was quiet and that was what we sought... it fit our needs.. and his quite well... Smoked fish at Big Bay Fishery was AWESOME as was Whitefish dinner at Audies..

Great view but did not comfortably sleep 6. The sleeper sofa was so uncomfortable a group slept on the floor instead. If you have a group of six be prepared for only 2 queen beds. The proximity to town and view of the water were beautiful!
