The location was great for exploring Mackinaw City and Island. It is really close to Shepler's ferry. The cottage is a work in progress.No internet available (contacted host no response).Tv's had no reception (contacted host no response)There was no hot water until we reported to host. It was fixed.One bedroom had no door.The other bedroom could not shut due to broken hinge.Kitchen did not feel clean, side of stove completely rusty.The positive were walls newly refinished and beds were comfortable.Our suggestion is finishing upgrades and make it a two-person rental. Only had two chairs in kitchen.Host needs to improve on communications. 5 unanswered messages in one day.

This place was so filthy that we did not even stay there and had to rent 2 hotel rooms!!! They will not give us a refund. It was grosse! There was no cleaning that was going to help the situation and should be inspected by the county and condemned!! I will never trust this site again!! I am turning in for fraud!!

It was a lot smaller than expected. Wifi didnt work and neither tv would work. Messaged staff about it and they said they would send someone, but no one came. Location was very nice though.

Very Disappointing - Renter Beware

VERY disappointing. Turns out the advertised pool and hot tub are not located at the property, but at the Bridgevista Beach Hotel (23-min walk). Exterior of the property was rough, inside better. Accessing the property was easy. As we settled in, my family tried to access the WIFI and it was not available. Turns out, the host relies on the internet access from the inn that shares the same parking lot as this unit. The internet was not strong enough to reach the front porch of the property let alone inside the property. My son then tried the TV just to find that one didn't work at all and the other had nothing connected to it. So, they were useless. I contacted the host to let them know these troubles before we went out to dinner.After dinner I still had not heard from the host, so I reached out again. The host finally responded she is sending someone to help. As the sun began to set, the temperature dropped and I was cold, so we tried to turn on the heat. Turns out, there was no heat connected. It was almost 9PM when I let the host know about the heat. Shortly after, I went to go take a shower before bed and NO HOT WATER!!It took until 10:40PM for the maintenance person to show up. At this point, I was in bed and my husband sent him away. Not dealing with it at this point.The worst part, the Pancake House restaurant is behind this property. Staff on break were loud and after it closed, they were rowdy until 4 in the morning. Horrible experience.

Pros: location! Close to all the things. Great coffee and pastry shops within a three minute walk. Well priced, relatively clean (most of the stains are permanent), plenty of towels and linens, hot showers, toaster and microwave, couple of mini fridges. Cons: no hot water in kitchen (nothing comes out when turning the knob), no door on one bedroom, other bedroom door is coming off hinges, older amenities like stove and some original cabinets are rough, very limited communication with host (the last question went unanswered and it was the first night), parking available but taken up on the weekend by other visitors probably because of prime location, lots of Friday night noise from area guests, Saturday 7 am garbage pick up.Technically true but...: two TVs but neither connect to the wifi so we watched something local on one - the other wouldn't even connect to the antenna, wifi available but too weak to connect, pool and hot tub "available" but they are 1.2 miles away, cheap coffee/tea maker but it only works with pods and we ran out the first day.

I don't think the location could get any better! Right downtown behind the shops, right next to the bakery and coffee shop. This was the perfect little cabin to stay at. Nice and clean, two AC units that kept it nice and cool. We would definitely plan to stay here again. We also had access to a pool which was a huge hit with my kids.

Amazing location, right next to Island Ferry and shops

We needed a nice economical option for our family on a road trip and this was a great fit. Seems very newly built though the structure is older. Basic amenities and needs covered.

Weekend Stay

The inside of the property was cute. Bathroom cabinets and kitchen could use updating. The hot water barely worked, and the heat did not work. Nights were chilly. The outside of the property needs major cleanup. Great location!

Totally disappointing

We checked in on 24 June checked out 24 June three hours later we were gone by seven! They would not refund any money said it was past the cancellation date which of course if you’re already there it’s past cancellation date! The description of the property is all wrong. They say they’re not connected to the hotel with the host are the same there is no TV no Internet she gives you a password with the password doesn’t work. The TVs don’t work. The outlets were overloaded. I just think it’s a scam and I got took so buy your beware.
