Great location

The location and our stay were great! The host was extremely welcoming and the perfect host! It is close to the beach, and to the St Ignace ferry to Mackinac Island which we preferred over the busier Mackinaw City port. The house was roomy with lots of amenities. The gardens were beautiful in July and it was a very quiet setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A Great "Up-North" Cottage

This charming VRBO was exactly as advertised! It was located in a very quiet area yet was only a short drive to downtown. It was clean, modern, and very obviously well taken care of. There was plenty of room for my husband and me.

Great Getaway

Loved the little log home away from home. It was the perfect location and Mary Lynn was just wonderful. It was so beautiful, so peaceful and so quiet. Tucked away in a beautiful area. Would highly recommend staying here. If we are back this way and need a place to stay this will be number one on our list.

GREAT LAKES INTRODUCTION

This property was the greatest. The home was clean, roomy, all the necessities of home were supplied. The host was phenomenon, she provided us with activites in the area, and tasty places to eat. Not to mention the banana bread upon arrival. She even had a golf cart for us to use to site see along Lake Michigan which is at her back door. Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. Great for 2 people! She even had a golf cart for our use

A Retreat in Paradise!

Mary Lynn is an A* host! She is warm and welcoming. I came as a stranger and left as a friend. Her cozy, log cabin is minutes away from the Mackinaw bridge and downtown St Ignace, yet you feel like you are in your own personal paradise. Her property is encircled by trees and punctuated with her gorgeous gardens. It was the perfect creative backdrop for my personal writing retreat and I have no doubt I will be back!

Anniversary Trip 💕

Mary Lynn is by far the best host I have ever booked with! Great communication and truly thoughtful, she made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend getaway to Mackinaw Island. The homemade banana bread and access to her golf cart were added bonuses! We highly recommend this beautiful log cabin!

This apartment was ideal for us. All amenities were outstanding. Quiet location with a lakeshore walk just a block away. The hostess lived in the town all her life and gave great tips on places to eat and visit. Beautiful gardens. Washer/dryer. We are pleased to rate all aspects 5 stars.

A Lovely Place

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here! The property and suite have a unique rustic feel, while still offering all the comforts you need. The suite is clean and well-maintained. Mary Lynn did an excellent job making sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. The suite is well-stocked (even with things we didn't expect like suitcase racks and a slow cooker). She left little extra touches as well; local treats and fresh cut flowers. She left lots of information about attractions and things to do in the area. Overall, we had an amazing weekend staying here and heartily recommend!
