Shooting stars are amazing!

Clean and comfortable cabin! Great internet and awesome view! We really enjoyed our stay. There was both a nice fire place inside and firepit out by the lake. We saw 2 Bucks and a mama bear and cub crossing the road. The neighbor showed us a video of a Moose in the woods just 2 doors down that happened while we were there. Totally a fantastic experience. The serenity of the water and woods are relaxing and unforgettable. Awesome huge deck to hang out on! Hope we can come back again soon!

Located on secluded part of island with a gorgeous view of the water.

The cottage was a perfect size for us. We spent quite a bit of time on the deck and by the fire pit enjoying the view of the lake. We rode trails nearly each day and had an awesome time. For most of the stay it was just the 2 of us with our labs. 2 friends joined us for 2 of the nights. Down the road was a nice sandy beach we went to several times. We cooked for most of the stay but had a wonderful Mexican dinner at Esther’s and Northwood we had great burgers and Pins Bar & Grill we had appetizers and a pizza where the crust was perfectly done. Made 2 stops at the grocery, a 9pm run for ice cream at the Tee Pee. Our favorite shop on the island was the gourmet shop. Everything was very good. The top items were our blueberry peach pie and the best fudge on the planet. Wonderful 11 night stay at the Star Gazer!

Wonderful time at Star Gazer

We had a very relaxing time. The view of the water was amazing. We loved hearing the waves lapping the shoreline. The house was as advertised and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something remote and quiet.

Quiet and relaxing

Property is about 20 minutes away from amenities and the pictures are outdated, but no issues other than that. Not far from a trail staging area and lake levels are high, so water was close to the fire pit. Will stay again.

Stargazer cottage

Very beautiful views on a quiet peaceful dead end road! It’s about 25 minutes from the town area. The house was everything we hoped for! We enjoyed our family vacation at this location! Things we enjoyed was bike rides and bon fires at the cottage, we did the indoor putt putt with the kids at The Rock, off-roading to fossil ledges, the public beach close by, boating and fishing, seeing a bear and enjoying the small shops and restaurants!

Clean and great view

Clean property. Nice views of the lake. Accurate description. Secluded quiet location. Only complaint and complaint is a too strong of a word is the water has a lot of iron in it, a lot. But that would not stop us from staying here the next time we are on the island.

Great UTV getaway!

We came to experience the island on our UTV. Great timing between Jeepers weekend and Memorial day. Island was relatively quiet (great for us) and so was the lakeshore. Great spot to connect with the end of the UTV trail or sit on the deck and take in Lake Huron. House was everything we hoped for, clean quiet and quaint. South side of island is a little breezy compared to the rest. Thank you for great accommodations.

Jeep event getaway

This was a nice property to relax on the water! Aside from my husband driving thirty mins each way to his Jeep event we enjoyed this place. It did however not get cleaned very well from the last people as we found random stuff under tables and there was dog hair all over the carpets. Otherwise it was a great home! Would come back here again!

Sisters’ Unplugged Weekend

We loved the location close to the trails. The view of the lake from the house was beautiful. We enjoyed watching and listening to the waves crashing in. The limited cell service at the house was a plus for us, we did take advantage of the WIFI for texting. The house shows some age on the decks, however the interior appears to have been recently updated. We would definitely rent again and recommend to family and friends.
