We visited nearby Harbour Springs and St.Ignace and discovered some great places to eat and will definitely be coming back. The property is centrally located when I contacted the host about a couple of issues I had, they resolved them promptly and chked with me afterwards to see if everything was ok. Fantastic hosts and great property. ##### Lydia M.

This place was just like the pictures for once, it had such a cool old schoolhouse feel and was so well decorated. Will definitely rent again for next trip! ##### Bryson508 M. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Lance P. 13 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location for exploring the Upper Peninisula Within a two hour radius of this property, you can visit many interesting and beautiful sites. The property description and pictures are spot on. It was cold while we were there and we feared that the school house would be drafty. No worries --- we were very comfortable inside and didn't notice the need for jackets until walking out the front door. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. ##### David Lance P. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin N. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Clean, spacious and unique! Strong, unpleasant hard water smell. Bathroom needs work-very small sink with no counter space-small mirror with damage/scratches. Beds smaller and not super comfy. ##### Kevin N.

The pictures do not do it justice. Quiet, charming, safe neighborhood tons to do close by but away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place was stocked with everything we needed. The fresh, clean bedding smelled amazing and the towels were soft, plush and smelled great as well! We had the best time and will definitely stay here again in the future! Loved reading the notes in the guestbook! ##### Kendra B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle S. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace and quiet We loved our stay and the school house was beautiful.. I was looking for a peaceful vacation and I got exactly that! Our room was perfect and super clean! They definitely take pride in making sure you’re comfortable. It had everything thing you needed.. The owners were on site during our stay & they were both super kind! We are planning on coming back in the fall! I loved it here! ##### Danielle S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tabatha S. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a vibe It’s in an old school house from the early 1900s. They did such a good job. There is 3 other apartments there. They had everything ready and clean. Great communication. Will go back again. Love what they did with the place. Book it now! ##### Tabatha S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica K. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place The place was certainly unique! A couple things to note - the room has high ceilings and thin walls - everything echoes and you can year everything that's going on in the next room. Also, the room wasn't quite clean, there was dog hair on the comforters, and human hair on the pillow and sheets. I don't think the sheets were changed. ##### Jessica K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott H. 28 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Late summer get away This is a very unique property. You can feel the history. Well put together, and furnished. We had one little glitch. While we were away for the day, the temperature of the apartment raised uncomfortably warm, 76 degrees. But when we contacted our host, they quickly reset the heat pump and lowered the temperature. ##### Scott H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy M. 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Comfortable and cozy apt. We loved the old classroom surroundings! It was very nicely appointed with what surly was Estate sale furniture and bricabrac. Nicely stocked with the basic essentials to keep and heat up food (no stovetop). Plates, cups, silverware, utensils, wineglasses, etc. very roomy. TV might take little figuring out. We got help from the on-site concierge! plenty of parking and laundry too! The best price we could find in that expensive resort area. The neighborhood is older, but I felt safe. (Northern MI, after all) 100% recommend! ##### Timothy M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Donita R. 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming studio We enjoyed our stay, for the most part, at this cute, renovated schoolhouse. The building is located in a quiet area. There is an outdoor table that could seat approx. 6 people, I believe--very peaceful. Location is short drive to Mackinaw City to catch the ferry. We liked being away from the hustle & bustle. Drawbacks were coffee grounds left from previous occupants, lack of coffee cups (and difficulty reaching on-site property manager about this), lack of room-darkening shades/blinds, no wine glasses (for an area surrounded by wineries, we thought that was odd), bare minimum utensils & place settings & the beds were not very comfortable for two people sharing. On a positive note, the owner was pretty quick to respond to messages. She addressed many of the above-mentioned concerns, stating that orders had been placed for these items but hadn't arrived yet. Cleaning issues were thought to be due to previous cleaning company they no longer use. Overall, we were happy with the stay, but thought perhaps they shouldn't have begun renting the suite until it was really fully prepared. I would stay here again if issues were addressed. njoyed some wine one evening. Very peaceful. ##### Donita R.

Everything inside of the building looked so cool! The room itself was huge for two people. The aesthetic really did blow us away. Our Hosts were great with communication and had anything gone wrong Im certain they would have gotten straight to fixing it because of how responsive they were. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking to stay in a unique Vrbo in northern Michigan! ##### Emerson G.
