Great UP Family Trip

Loved the house and property. It exceeded all of our expectations. It was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to explore St. Ignace, Mackinac Island and Mackinac City. It was a great location for our family trip.

Beautiful St. Ignace

This was a wonderful home. It was everything as advertised and then some. The location was perfect and close to the docks and restaurants. Very clean, comfortable, roomy and well stocked with the basics. Beds very comfortable after long days. We would not hesitate to recommend to others or stay here again if ever in this area again. A great experience for the four of us.

Family Get Away

We really enjoyed our stay. We spent a day at Traverse City, rented a boat to go tubing on Mullet Lake, spent a day at Mackinac Island and a day kayaking, putt putting and even did an Escape Room at Know Way Out. We had a great time and made many wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Comfortable, plain and perfect.

This house was perfect for us. We had two dogs and needed a dog friendly house. We understand that it was plain for a purpose. Why create a 5 star experience in a house that could be torn up or damaged by dogs? As such, it was well priced, comfortable, and the location was fine. Check in was a breeze and the property managers were responsive and helpful every time I reached out. I would book it again.

A review you asked for.

The place smelled. Don’t know whether it was old smoke that you can’t get out of the house or just musty. Found a dirty sock by the bed- so how clean was it? Dishes weren’t clean either- coffee stains in mugs- when I washed them in the dishwasher, it came out. Also, the ping pong area smelled so badly, I couldn’t go in it after checking it out.

Great home base to explore the UP and Mackinac Island

Great house! Comfy beds, great showers, nice layout for family with young kids. Kids enjoyed the rec room! There was definitely some dog hair around, not a dealbreaker for us, but something to consider if there are pet allergies. Would also recommend getting some casserole dishes for cooking. Overall this is a great house and we’d definitely book it again! Thanks :)
