Property is nice but needs updating and new cleaning service.

Owner's cleaning service is not very astute. They ask you to put dishes in dishwasher and turn it on when you leave but don't provide dishwasher detergent. So, coffee cups are horribly stained and dirty on arrival. We only used coffee pot and coffee cups during our stay as we ate out our entire stay. We had to wash our cups with a brush to get them usable. Two beds were made without top sheets so we had to find top sheets to go between the fitted sheets and comforter. They were available but the cleaning person obviously doesn't care about quality work. Child finger prints are on the massive windows from previous guests and either not seen or simply not cleaned off. Bath tubs did not have anti-slip mats so they were improvising with a rug, stayed wet because it's not designed for the purpose. Lawn and driveway need some maintenance as limbs from trees obstruct view and rub your rental car as you drive in the driveway. All in all, it was nice enough and we are happy but I do a pretty concise review so the owner can either be aware of the problems and fix or he can ignore them and loose future guests.

We enjoyed our stay. However, the place could use some TLC. The deck was really in need of cleaning and staining. The beds need to be replaced. Very uncomfortable and bedding very old. With some upgrades, it would be a great place to stay.

Lacks basic amenities, cleanliness issues and loads of bugs and insects lying around.

Although the cabin had a rustic charm and a nice walkout to the beach, the absence of WiFi and the abundance of mosquitoes made for a less than desirable experience for us. The cabin was lacking in cleanliness and in need of upgrades in the kitchen and bathroom. When asked about air conditioning, the owner informed us that there isn’t one as the cabin cools down in the night which is far from truth when the weather is warm and you can’t open windows for ventilation. Potential guests should be aware of these drawbacks before booking.

The view was beautiful but…

While the view of the lake is beautiful, first impressions left much to be desired. The deck was not staged and ready for renters to take advantage of it. There was only one chair and a dirty table shoved off to the side of the weathered deck. The kitchen and bathrooms felt clean, and the beds were comfortable, but the floors and area rugs had not been cleaned. There were piles of dead bugs or something in the corners of the dining area and the closet. We were met with chirping fire and carbon monoxide alarms. I contacted the owner and about four hours later, he messaged me that there “should be” replacement batteries in a kitchen drawer. He never checked back to see if the issue was taken care of. We did not find batteries, but we thought we had silenced them all, but were all awakened to chirping in the middle of the night and never got back to a restful sleep, as every few seconds there was another chirp. We were informed before arrival that there was no internet but that there was Dish satellite tv. We found four remotes on the coffee table, but no instructions. Upon inspection, we found the dish cable was disconnected. We plugged it back in, but still no tv. Not a huge problem as we planned to do a lot of sightseeing in the area. But also not what was expected. I would give our stay overall a score of 3 which is disappointing because I felt we were splurging for a much better experience. When I am charged an additional cleaning fee, I expect rugs and floors to be clean.

It was located on Lake Michigan, at a perfect spot along the beach. Easy drive to the town of Saint Ignace for anything my family needed during our 6 night stay. It was clean and well stocked. The master bedroom had the most comfortable bed. Like a gigantic pillow. Best sleep I have ever had while on vacation. The TV had its own ideas of not working (I think it was trees obscuring the satellite) but we watched a movie that was in the cabinet and played games we brought with us. Overall, a very nice time.

Loved our stay in St ignace

We had an easy check in process. Went well. It did seem clean and I felt super comfortable there. It was basically a private beach we had access to. We did not see another soul the whole time we were on the beach. Only negatives I would say is that there is no wifi which I understand that after I booked I read that it is spotty so they don’t have it but I had a report due so I had to take 1:30 to go to McDonald’s and finish it when it probably would have only taken 45 mins to finish. Also I will say it wasn’t an issue for me but my parents were with us and it did say that direct tv was included and we could not get the tv to work at all and there weren’t any instructions if there was a certain process so I assumed it was disconnected or broken. Again I wasn’t there to watch tv but my parents did not like that. Overall I would visit again if we decided to come back to the UP. We had so much fun and it was well worth the 8hour drive. Maybe we will stay for another night the next time. We definitely could have had another day of activities.

Mixed bag

Property is beautiful with a wonderful view of Lake Michigan and access to a sandy beach. Spacious 2 car garage with one door having a remote door opener is handy. Lack of air conditioning and Wi-Fi not apparent on the listing. Several fans are available however. Overall cleanliness lacking somewhat (dirty pantry, dishes—maybe a dishwasher or water hardness issue, kitchen drawers/cabinets, and outdoor patio furniture and grill covered with dirt and debris). Window screens covered with webs and insects which made leaving the windows open a little unnerving. TV (we actually never turned it on) and DVD player available but you need to bring your own DVDs (bring any games you wanna play as well).

Great location, wonderful views from the home, awesome beach, quiet and private during our stay.

We have been renting various homes for our annual vacation to the Great Lakes for several years now. We always look for a home that will be private and quiet, but is close enough to things to do that it isn't a hassle getting to them. This home fit the bill perfectly. 10 minutes from St Ignace/Mackinaw City. The home has great views of the lake, is comfortable and reasonably stocked with daily items you might need. The beach is awesome, hands down the best beach we have ever rented a home on in the UP. The location of the home was private and quiet while we were there. The owners were easy to reach and communicate with.

Great rental house! Loved the access to the beach, the quietness & lots of kitchen items provided making for a great stay! It was a bit hard with children that the TV, DVD player & cable box was just sitting on a chest. Would make it 1000x easier if those were contained or against a wall so kiddos couldn’t get behind!

Great location, amazing views!

The home is beautiful. The location fantastic! We loved our stay & would definitely stay again. Just minor things could make this property 5-star -- but because of Covid19Worker shortages, their Cleaning Company was not exactly on-point -- very minor things, but it could have made a big difference. Side note: the beds are super soft (so if you have bad backs, keep that in mind). Otherwise, everything else was great! Chad was very responsive to our questions prior to our stay & follow-up. Would recommend. Would stay again.

Great Lake Great Stay!

My husband and I and another couple used this beautiful cabin on the shore of Lake Michigan for a week. We found the cabin to be accurately represented by the description and pictures. The deck was great for watching the waves and morning coffee. We had the added advantage of beautiful weather. The location is central to several attractions, and about a 15 minute drive to town. (St. Ignace).
