Needs some updates inside and tree trimming on the outside. The half bath you can’t shut the door due to the washing machine. Overall, the property is in a great location. Bring water shoes if you want to go in the lake, very rocky, but beautiful.

The view of Mackinac Bridge was amazing and the location was very secluded and close to Mackinac City. The property and home itself could have been cleaned better. The sunroom off the back of the house was very dusty and covered in webs. The pull out couch linens had not been changed from previous guests as there were crumbs on the sheets.

We booked this rental last minute and it did not disappoint. It was a rather hot day and the place doesn’t have AC but we opened the windows and that cooled the place down. We had a great visit but would have liked to have working screen doors on the sun room to get a good breeze from the lake. Also, the powder room door does not close as the washing machine prevents it.

We enjoyed our stay overall. The house was very clean, the views of the water were beautiful, and the location was excellent—close to many attractions while still feeling peaceful. The bedrooms were comfortable.That said, the home is in need of some updates. The lack of ceiling fans in the living room and dining room made the afternoons and evenings quite warm, with very little air circulation. The living room couch appears to be very old and was uncomfortable to sit/sleep on. The sunroom could also use some attention, as several window screens were broken and leaked rain even with doors closed. The landscaping would benefit from weeding and general maintenance as well.With a few upgrades and some routine maintenance, this could be an outstanding vacation rental because the location and views are truly hard to beat.

Clean. Beautiful location with Lake Michigan out the back door. The temp went down to 32 and we messaged the host around 6 in the afternoon to ask about heat as we had none working. We never got a response so was very cold at night. There were also no fire alarms.

The pros of this property was the view loved them great views of the bridge. I did not know the property didn’t have air conditioning but that was my fault. It did have ceiling fans but it could have used a box fan for the living room thank god it was a cool couple of days. When we got there there were 5 bags of trash in the garage and it stunk and had bugs in it but when I contacted the owner Jodi she had a handyman come and remove them within 20 minutes of us being there and after opening the windows the smell finally went away.All in all the property could use some updates the stove, couch and chairs outside and some new screens for the screen doors because some of them were cut or didn’t fit but it was quiet and had more than enough linens and towels so it wasn’t terrible. Would I stay there again probably not. What I would say is make sure your handyman is on top of the garbage because that killed it for sure had that not been the first thing we encountered I would probably stay again but for us that want the case and that’s a shame because the view was one of the best for sure.
