It was described accurately. Could use more seating in the living room and definitely mirrors in the bedrooms. The neighborhood was old however walking distance to restaurants and ferry was great. Fireplaces put out great heat and the kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances.

We weren’t aware that there was no air conditioning and it was very hot and humid, which made sleeping difficult.

Family Visit

Perfect location for visiting Mackinac Island and surrounding area. And we loved that we could spend our evenings in the back yard around a fire...cooking up smore's. Highly recommend.

Long weekend

My teen- college kids and us parents stayed for four nights, with our dogs! We used the house as home base and explored across the bridge in Petoskey, St Ignace itself, and up to Taqhemenon falls- we stopped at Cut River bridge before arriving Wednesday night too. The house was just right for us- parents and dogs downstairs, teens upstairs- we made dinner the first night, as we arrived late and a lot of our restaurant options were closed- we had everything we needed to cook, and made our breakfasts before going out for the day. Thanks so much, we had a great time- even used the fire pit one night for s’mores!

Great family stay!

My siblings and I, plus our doggos, just loved this home! You can tell how well-loved it is, and it has so much unique character. Perfect location to just walk to the ferry, as well as the shops and restaurants. After a long day on Mackinac Island, we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the yard with a big box of fudge. Highly recommend - your family will love it too.

Lots of space

Spacious place. Had what you needed to make meals. Only a Keurig, so you need pods if you want your own coffee. There's different temperatures throughout the home, which was hard to keep everyone comfortable. Check in is super simple. Great communication with host. Was very clean. Comfortable for us. Overall great experience.

Very cute clean house. Great location. It was a very quick walk to the ferry and also walking distance to the shops downtown. We really appreciated the fenced in back yard and the fact the the fences we tall and secure. No worries about our dogs making an escape.
