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.

Carter’s Getaway was everything we needed and more for a small family fishing getaway. The property is more beautiful in-person than conveyed in the pictures. Amenities were excellent and the kitchen is well stocked. The property is comfortable and cozy with beautiful sunrise views over the lake. Host communication was pleasant and timely. Overall, great experience!

Home was very clean and at a beautiful location on Drummond Island. Everything we needed, and then some. Amazing view from the deck and right on the water, in a very quiet neighborhood. Property Manager was very nice and check-in/out was easy. Loved the Island and will be back again for sure!

The queen beds are not super comfortable, but there were enough beds that we all could sleep alone. The grill is not ideal for bigger meals, best for things like hot dogs or burgers.
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!
