The host was great, the property was as advertised and clean. They need to do a little painting on the exterior, but good experience.

Love the rustic vibes this place brought. I wish I stayed longer to enjoy the lake view a little more. Everything around us was stunning and so close to Mackinac. Definitely coming here again!

Absolutely stunning views! We were able to bring our dogs which was a huge plus! Cabin was quaint and clean! Very quiet chill atmosphere. Only downside is you are extremely close to each cabin and don't have much room. All in all we would be back and enjoyed our stay!

Fun little Cabin. This Cabin is old 1920's but the character is so nice. When you set on the front pouch the lake is about 20 ft away. The view is amazing. Little dusty but clean. Beds comfy. We would stay again. Host " Richie" was very nice.. if you are looking for the rustic feel of a lake Cabin, this is it..

Amazing little cabin

We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% stay here again. The cabins are old and do need some work, but our overall experience was amazing. The view is great and super peaceful to sit out at night or wake up to in the morning. My kids absolutely loved it here too so that is an added bonus! Definitely recommend! And Richie was super friendly and a great host!

Great cabin on the lake

You have to meet the owner to check in - would have preferred a no contact check in so you don’t feel like you’re putting him out waiting for us to show up. Location is on the water and great vibe. Bathroom could be updated.

The lake outside your cabin and screened in porch were highlights of our 2-night stay. The condition of the cabin and accommodations were a bit disappointing. Updated mattresses, regular coffee pot (not a Keurig with no mention of needing pods), improving kitchen cookware, a good cleaning and fresh paint would make this cute place much more enjoyable.

Great cabin for guy’s weekend

Really good location. Right on Carp Lake where you can view some great sunsets. Also a short drive to Wilderness State Park. Cabin was super nice and even had wifi and a smart TV. It was a perfect place for guy’s weekend. The owner Ritchie was very nice. Would recommend like others have said to bring extension cords or power strips if you think you’ll be using them as outlets are limited. But we really enjoyed our stay and will most likely be back.

The only real complaint was the shower, which the curtain allowed water to spray onto the floor during showers.

Rough around the edges

It was a great location - right on the water. The cabin was rustic. Shower and toilet were less than I hoped for. Lock on front door was hard to lock from inside. And, there was no secure lock on back door.
