Relaxing cabin close to Mackinac!

Had a fun and relaxing stay. We always love locations right on the water so that our children can be near a beach. Short drive to Mackinaw city for shopping, food, and of course, a trip to Mackinac Island. We enjoyed evenings by the campfire admiring sunset views of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. Perfect place for star gazing too!

Sometimes you sign up to stay at a place and the pictures don't line up with the actual property, or you worry about the condition of the property, or the grounds. This is one of those rare occurrences where the property vastly exceeded our expectations, and we had a truly fantastic time staying here and exploring the local sights. Awesome host, awesome property, and really good location for jumping of to Mackinaw, St. Ignace, and the UP

Perfect Getaway

We loved staying at this cabin. The host met us as soon as we pulled in and gave us a tour of the place. It's in a perfect location as you are 10 minutes in either direction from where you want to be. The view from the cabin cannot be beat and the cabin itself has everything you need for your home away from home. Highly recommend!

We recently stayed at this charming cabin with an absolutely breathtaking view of Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island, and the bridge! The cabin itself was beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Steve, our host, truly went above and beyond! He provided fantastic suggestions for local activities and even came by to start our campfire, making our evenings extra special. This experience was unforgettable, and we made lasting memories there. Highly recommend!

What an amazing stay. The property is absolutely beautiful with all that you would need. The views are spectacular and we would enjoy just watching the waves, boats and birds. The property had lots of lovely little touches that you will absolutely appreciate. From s’mores sticks, binoculars, fire wood, extra blankets, a/c for the hot days. The best bit was Steve and Eva and their wonderful family. It was so lovely to get to know them and we would love to come again.

Perfect cabin in perfect location

Just as pictured. Very clean & has everything you need to cook for a family or make small meals. Located in between Cheboygan & Mackinaw City you will have plenty of restaurants to choose from. Anyone from small families to two older couples like ourselves will enjoy this well cared for cabin & all it has to offer.

Beutiful cabin on Lake Huron

The property was very nice and well maintained. We arrived to an immaculately clean cabin! The private beach area and outdoor furniture made for fun in the sun and serene moments listening to the waves and watching for freighters. The close proximity to Cheboygan and Mackinaw City was perfect. The neighbors were fabulous, and we couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Wonderful Babymoon

We wanted a quiet getaway for our Babymoon and this cabin hit the spot! It’s was located close to Cheboygan and Mackinaw City, but was far enough away that it still felt secluded. The cabin could not have been cuter and had all the amenities you could need or want. And the beauty of the area cannot be underestimated; it was beyond beautiful and the waves from the lake just made it that much better. We plan to come back with our family of 3 in a year or so and can’t wait to introduce our son to this sweet spot!
