Perfect weekend getaway

This was such a beautiful property. The views of the woods and garden create the perfect backdrop for the cozy log home. Everything was neat and clean and Mary Lynn made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was the perfect place to come home to after exploring the U.P. each day.

Charming place, location and host - will book again!

I recently stayed here and it really is as beautiful as it looks. It was truly an unforgettable experience! This beautiful log home apartment in the woods provided the perfect peaceful and private escape I was looking for. From the moment we arrived, the host's graciousness and hospitality were evident. Initially, we booked for two nights, but we extended our stay to four nights to enjoy all the activities in the area. The host, a real UP-er, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment itself is charming, impeccably clean, and well-maintained. It backs right up to the trees, offering a tranquil and serene atmosphere. The electric heat, air conditioning, air filtering, and RO water filtering system ensured we were always comfortable, and we appreciated that the apartment has never housed pets—perfect for those with allergies. One of the highlights was the host's thoughtful gestures. For my girlfriend's birthday, she surprised us with a card, flowers, chocolates, and even baked us cookies and blueberry muffins. Such personal touches made our stay extra special. The location is ideal—just two blocks from Lake Michigan with stunning views of the Mackinac Bridge. We enjoyed visiting nearby Point La Barbe via their golf cart to catch sunsets, St. Ignace, Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, and Pictured Rocks. Overall this getaway is a hidden gem in the UP. The host provided an exceptional, memorable experience, a destination I highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lynn Swiderski

I have lived in beautiful St. Ignace all my life. My ancestors on both parent's side were some of the first settlers here in 1885. I love being surrounded by the water - Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. I am an avid biker, hiker, I love kayaking, boating, fishing and hanging with friends.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet. Only two houses on this private road. I am surrounded by trees and wildlife. Lake Michigan is right around the corner from my lovely log home. It has spectacular views of the Mackinac Bridge, sunsets, water and wildlife.
