Marvel at the large timbers as you sip your coffee at the breakfast bar in the modern, fully equipped kitchen. From the backyard, you can see the Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island, and the St. Ignace fireworks every Saturday night in the distance. At night you can see the lights of St. Ignace. Some will gather their friends and enjoy cooking on the propane grill, while folks rest along the wrap-around deck. The national forest is a great feature for those who love to hike and explore. Mackinac Vista sleeps 8 comfortably in beds and has 2 ½ bathrooms. There is also a futon and pull-out couch if needed. Two additional twin beds are also available during the Summer months. \*QUIET TIME: We ask that guests be respectful of our great neighbors by keeping quiet hours between 11:00 pm and 9:00 am.

It was a very peaceful location for some nice R&R. ##### Jake V. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie F. 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home is beautiful. Right on the water. The beach is very rocky but a beautiful spot. The bedding is very old, consider bringing your own bedding as the sheets they provide are thin and no large comforters. The beds are ok. If you have someone with special needs there is a main bedroom with a walk in shower. Very handicap accesible. The TV is touchy. The location cannot be beat. We watched the bridge and the island at night. Clear view. A real treat to stay here. ##### Natalie F.

We came with our daughter, her husband, and their son, so she could show them some of her childhood. (My husband lived in Munising so Mackinaw was always a stop when our kids were little). We all loved how peaceful and serene it was. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and generous for the five of us, in size. To say our stay was perfect is almost an understatement. ##### Jeanne G.

The central point of assembly was this home and it did not disappoint. There was plenty of room, plenty of beds, and lots of things that made it a home away from home. No hotel could have compared for such a large group. Highlights included the privacy, the fire pit out back, foosball table for my grandkids, spaciousness, lake shore, and location. Everyone had a great time! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b643af70-4815-4db2-888b-fa61c9ad7bf6-1751853946360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7bf54bf-bf06-4354-9437-23e51395f634-1751853943547.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb4513d4-475e-4eaf-951e-c1615307aa0d-1751853943992.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jimmie C.

It really was a beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. And everything inside was clean and closed up. We couldn't quite understand why we had to be killing over a dozen flies per day inside. Where were they coming from? Anyway, it was still very good. Fly paper would have been useful. ##### Mark T.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca O. 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Overall it was a good location and beautiful scenery. The cabin itself was a bit lacking. Quite dusty and lots of cobwebs inside. The gas fireplace that we were really looking forward to didn’t work and the service phone number did nothing to help that situation. They said they contacted the owner and would let us know, but we never heard back from them. The listing said they had satellite television but it was constantly acquiring signal while we were there. At least we were able to use Netflix! Overall it was okay but not the high reviews we read on the site and just did not meet expectations. ##### Rebecca O.
