The apartment is very clean, comfortable and cozy. The location is far enough out of town to provide a little extra privacy, but close enough to be convenient. The back patio has a beautiful view of the lake (especially at night when the moon is shining) and is nicely wooded, giving it a secluded feel.We trailered a truck for the St Ignace car show and there was more than enough space to park and unload the truck.John (the host) is the best! He's very knowledgeable about the area and can tell you the best places to eat and visit.

I brought my grandson for his H.S. graduation present because he wanted to learn more about his native heritage, John the host was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the area and indigenous culture in the area and gave us plenty of info on places to go,restaurants in the area and so on. The duplex is in an IDEAL spot for exploring!a few minutes to st.ignace downtown, and Mackinac ferries. An hour plus a few to tahquamenon falls, perfect for getting around. The unit itself was immaculate, so cozy and the view from the backyard to the lake was stunning. It was spacious and so welcoming! It had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. And Totem village across the street is a must see! Tons of art and artifacts and that owner was also very gracious and accommodating to my grandson . The stay was a wonderful experience for us both and we'd love to go again. The pictures on vrbo don't do that cabin justice, it's so much nicer in person!

About the host

Hosted by John Schieding

Host profile image
This property is a duplex type situation and I, the owner and site manager, can be as scarce or available as needed. I'm normally missing most of the time, but maintenance is sometimes necessary while guests are out and about...

Why they chose this property

Although next to the highway, the property is private and isolated with quick and easy access to many amenities and businesses within two miles and Lake Michigan is walking distance.

What makes this property unique

This property has a magnificent view of the Lake and many birds and wildlife move about the backyard area.
I have extensive outdoor experience and can be available for guide services and/or equipment needs or suggestions.
