About this property

Carter's Getaway Drummond Island vacation rental

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.

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!

Perfect spot on Lake Huron

Very nicely located house. In 2018, we booked this house the first time and that’s why we chose it again. The owner made a lot of investments and it eas even better this time. Great view on Lake Huron and on sunrise in the morning.

Relaxation with a view

Quiet, relaxing, and beautiful views. Home was nice and cozy. Had a couple warm days and no air-conditioning but kept it closed off during the day and it cooled off at night. If we ever visit Drummond Island again, I would love to stay here again.

Amazing location and views!

This was a great place for our group of ladies who spent the weekend jeeping. The house has an amazing dock and rocky beachfront to sit and star haze. The property manager is amazing! The house is clean and has everything you need for comfort! We will be back next year!

Summer Vacation

Carters Place is lovely. It is very clean and comfortable. The view is great. I recommend that you bring sandals or water shoes to wear in the water, the entire coastline is ver rocky. The property manager is right next door if you need anything and she is very nice.

Jeep club excursion

Very peaceful and calming. The early morning coffee on the deck is so peaceful. A nice breeze in the late evening causes wave noise against the shore is so settling. Sherry is a perfect host for the property along with River. will be booking again for our next stay on the island. Thank you for letting us invade your space and hopefully we were peaceful neighbors for our short stay with you and yours. BK

We love carters getaway. We’ve stayed 4 times now. We love the location of the house and the comfort. However, this year the firepit was a big inconvenience and quite hazardous. Getting down to the water and dock are a little tricky for children as well…I would imagine older people would also have a hard time accessing it which is a bummer.
