June in Michigan

We enjoyed our stay. However, the place could use some TLC. The deck was really in need of cleaning and staining. The beds need to be replaced. Very uncomfortable and bedding very old. With some upgrades, it would be a great place to stay.

We had a pleasant time at the cabin here. Unable to utilize the outside/deck due to midge fly hatch, this was unfortunate but chad was a very attentive and workable host! Location was great for all our Michigan adventures, house was roomy and spacious for our party of 8, would come back again!

Perfect!

We loved everything about this place (except the cabin water----definitely recommend bringing your own water!)! The layout of the cabin is wonderful, the furnishings/decor are sweet, the view is spectacular, the location and lot size are great! Really can't say anything negative. Wonderful place to get away & relax!

Comfortable house with great views

Our group enjoyed our visit. The house was a good configuration for our group size and we could accommodate all of the members' restrictions with climbing stairs, etc. The beach access is the easiest that we have encountered in the various rentals we have had on Lake Michigan and that added to our enjoyment. It was a convenient locations for all of our day-trips around the eastern UP. The high ceilings, skylights and huge picture window in the living room provide spectacular views and a light and airy feeling.

What A View!

My family of five spent a week here and it was an incredible experience. The house is located just close enough to town (and Mackinac Island) to be convenient but far enough away to feel secluded and enjoy dark skies for stargazing. Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, the Soo are all easy 1-2 hour drives from here. When we weren't out exploring, we spent most of our time relaxing on the deck or down by the shore walking the beach, skipping rocks or playing in the water. The house is as beautiful as the view and well-maintained. There was plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other. We had lots of fires down at the firepit and went through plenty of bags of marshmallows. The only spoiler were the giant mosquitoes but they're everywhere you go in Michigan, so come prepared. Definitely bring bug spray. We ate mostly at the house and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. There's a barbecue on the deck that works well. All in all, I'd highly recommend a stay here. Thanks Chad!

The view was beautiful but…

While the view of the lake is beautiful, first impressions left much to be desired. The deck was not staged and ready for renters to take advantage of it. There was only one chair and a dirty table shoved off to the side of the weathered deck. The kitchen and bathrooms felt clean, and the beds were comfortable, but the floors and area rugs had not been cleaned. There were piles of dead bugs or something in the corners of the dining area and the closet. We were met with chirping fire and carbon monoxide alarms. I contacted the owner and about four hours later, he messaged me that there “should be” replacement batteries in a kitchen drawer. He never checked back to see if the issue was taken care of. We did not find batteries, but we thought we had silenced them all, but were all awakened to chirping in the middle of the night and never got back to a restful sleep, as every few seconds there was another chirp. We were informed before arrival that there was no internet but that there was Dish satellite tv. We found four remotes on the coffee table, but no instructions. Upon inspection, we found the dish cable was disconnected. We plugged it back in, but still no tv. Not a huge problem as we planned to do a lot of sightseeing in the area. But also not what was expected. I would give our stay overall a score of 3 which is disappointing because I felt we were splurging for a much better experience. When I am charged an additional cleaning fee, I expect rugs and floors to be clean.

Secluded Get-Away

If you desire a wooded area away from the action of town-life, this is for you. Hunters and fishermen who are not concerned with basic amenities might appreciate. Definitely not for you if you are used to basic conveniences provided by other VRBO properties. While I still rate this as ok, I have experienced better attention to details by property owners. This is a basic place to lay your head. Owners appear unconcerned with providing amenities for their guests. It clearly states online that soap/body wash is not provided. However, I consider that a basic convenience. At least included at all other VRBOs (and hotels) at which I have stayed. Sheets did not fit the bed upstairs. The house is in need of simple repairs. Deck was not inviting, no furniture to sit and enjoy coffee outside. Hard water and stains definitely affect the appearance of eating utensils and dishes. I guess the rustic life with few amenities is not for me. Chad was nice enough and communicated well, but I expected more. I recall the online listing saying this was only 6 or 7 miles from St. Ignace, but it is more accurately 11 miles from town. Not a deal-breaker though.

About the host

Hosted by Chad Chapman

Host profile image
We are the Chapman family. We live in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. We are a busy family of 5 and are both teachers in the Grand Rapids area. This property is special to us and more than anything we want to make it special for you as well.

Why they chose this property

This property is special because it provides a place to get away from it all and relax. It has stunning Lake Michigan views with a secluded "Up North" feeling. St. Ignace is 10 minutes away that provides grocery stores, gas stations, lakefront boardwalk, restaurants, and other amenities to make your "get away vacation" a memorable one. We feel that this location is perfect when planning that U.P. vacation to places like Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Soo Locks, and many more.
