Surrounded by national forest on one side and Lake Huron on the other, enjoy hiking, swimming, and nearby tourism (St. Ignace, Mackinac Island). Mackinac Vista is a true custom log cabin built with huge natural logs(not with milled logs). There is zero drywall in this home. 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. NO EXCEPTIONS-- Freshwater Vacation Rentals has many other places if you need a space where you can be loud with your music, voices or fireworks. Just NOT at Mackinac Vista. \*This home is located in a private subdivision. The entrance is clearly marked, and speed limit signs are posted. SPEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH.

The lakefront location was wonderful (don’t miss out on the beautiful sunsets and excellent late night star gazing) and the cabin had all the amenities we needed. The cabin was a bit difficult to find at night if you’re driving in for the first time. The location was great and not too far away from the neighboring cities. Thanks for allowing our family to stay, we would surely come back! ##### Yumi O.

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. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jimmie C. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation Our entire family (kids, their spouses & partners, grandkids, and dogs) came from all over with the hopes of having a wonderful getaway to Northern Michigan. 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.

Only stayed for two nights and wished we had booked more. Loved the house and loved being on the lake. Great being able to see the Mackinaw bridge from the shore. Fireworks on St. Ignace on Saturday night was a great surprise. This is definitely on our "Let's do this again" list. ##### Gwyn F.

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.
