Drummond Island is comprised of 87,000 acres, 150 miles of rugged scenic shoreline, 133 square miles of forested landscape, and 34 inland lakes. Within this diverse habitat, a number of rare species, land formations and plants can be found. Drummond Island and its surrounding waters offer a wide mix of land forms to explore. Getting to most of them is easy; getting to some of them has been described as gut-wrenching. The second largest island in the Great Lakes of Michigan, Drummond is located a short ferry ride from the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula. Therefore, the Island is a relatively easy place to visit for your own natural history adventure. The local attitude toward visitors, “Come often, play nicely,” has paid off in the protection of a wide range of unique public places for you to explore. It is no secret among Anglers that Drummond Island “is” The Gem of the Huron. The waters are as diverse as the fish, aquatic and other types of water wildlife. From it’s pristine clear blue waters and rocky shorelines to underwater shoals and reefs, sand and gravel substrates and vast weed beds, combined with shallow soft bottom flats creates a true Mecca of opportunity to experience fishing at it’s best. This area truly is God’s country. The peace and serenity you will find will have you longing for a return visit to this outdoor paradise. Bring the family and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Goal play gold in all 50 states. Michigan was our final state and we played the Rock on Drummond Island! House was awesome and loved the Northwood restaurant.
The home is lovely and well taken care of. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t available. The shoreline is very rocky so pack your water shoes! We had an amazing time!
The house was very clean and well kept and very accommodating for the five of us. We were on Drummond Island to go on our annual fishing charter weekend.
We enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the primary bath shower. Home was VERY well equipped. Fire pit was challenging but pretty to look at. Beach view was beautiful but we didn’t go in the water. Overall we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying there.
Falling asleep each night hearing the waves lap onto the shore was glorious! Plenty of space, clean, convenient location all make this a great stay! We will book it again.
Wonderful place! The property manager was great. We really enjoyed the visits from River the yellow lab. As a family of dog lovers with labs ourselves she made our whole visit special. Would definitely visit again.
We were greeted by the property manager Sherri who made check in super easy. The house was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location for enjoying Lake Huron. The neighborhood was quiet and exactly what we hoped for
My husband and I along with his sister and her husband came to celebrate all of our 10 year wedding anniversaries. It was an amazing get away with many laughs. The cabin was perfect. Very clean, well stocked and plenty of space.
This is our 3rd stay at Carter’s. We feel like it’s our home away from home. We love everything about the house, the area, and the neighbors. Can’t wait for next year!
We love Drummond Island and we loved this home. it was as described, very clean, nice beds. We enjoyed the quiet, the stars and the loons on the lake. We went ATVing on the island, hiking and riding the backroads. We enjoyed dining at Northwood Restaurant and Esthers which are nearby. Drummond Island is a great place for those who want to get away from civilization and enjoy the outdoors. Carter's Getaway is a great place to stay.
