Family trip

Wonderful long weekend family trip. The guys did some fishing and us ladies and kids did some shopping in town. We all visited the Deer Ranch twice. The house was just as listed. It was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Chad was great to work with.

Not accurate details in listing

The property can be great but sorely let go. The pictures on the listing are not current. There are broken doors, mold and deteriorating walls in bathrooms and overall a dirty home. We could not give the kids a bath in either tub and fought ants the whole week through the entire house. It would have been helpful to have a bug repellent device outside on the deck to spend any time there but there wasn’t any furniture on it anyway. The gas grill is unusable. We bought paper plates and cups as the dishwasher leaves a thick film on the kitchenware.

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.

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!

Wonderful lake house

We were so happy with the Pte Aux Chenes house. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of room. The weather was a little cooler, so we didn't spend a ton of time why the beach, but we really loved the firepit area. So peaceful and a perfect long weekend getaway. Thank you!

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!

Beautiful surroundings. Lovely home. Easy access in the winter.

What a great place! Chad was very communicative to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The home is beautiful. Great views and right on the water. Our family enjoyed our strolls on the frozen beach. We drove to many UP sights within an hour or so of the home. Overall, it was a wonderful experience facilitated by a wonderful home to stay in and a wonderful owner.

Excellent getaway location

Very quiet the first weekend in November, an awesome time to be in the UP and your kids can't ask you to take them to all the tourist traps because they're all closed! Be sure to checkout St Ignace Sand Dunes Cross Country ski trail, this is less than 1/2 mile away and makes for an awesome nature hike that you can make as short as 2 miles or as long as 7.1 by walking everything. The house was fantastic, views are great and everything you need is provided.

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.
