Our family of mostly adults and a couple children had a wonderful stay. There was enough seating for eating and lots of room outdoors for plane and s’mores at the campfire. The bedding was comfortable and the bathrooms were adequate and well stocked. The location was nice and private for hanging our hammock. And stargazing at night. You are 1 to 2 miles away from everything needed at downtown Mackinac city very close to the ferry, hiking/biking trail and all this area offers. We couldn’t get the dishwasher to work, but that was not that big of a deal. Their washer and dryer worked great. We brought some of her own entertainment to connect to their TV living room is a little dated, but it gives you a nice cabin feel. I would recommend.

Bad First Impression
Property is owned by a motel chain so you get the VBRO look with the motel experience. You have to pick the keys up from a different motel and when we did, they didnt have the keys. They were still cleaning the place and told us that when we get there the cleaners would give us the keys. When we arrived we had to wait 30 minutes past check in for them to finish up and give us the keys and leave which was difficult after a long drive and antsy kids in the car.
Once we were in the house, I can say its as lovely as pictured and we were comfortable. Only three complaints - 1) the floors were very dirty/sticky which is strange cus the place smelled clean. Its almost as if when the floor was washed last, the soap was left to dry instead of being mopped up. 2) there are several exterior doors (6 I believe) and all of them were left unlocked upon our arrival. Had I not thought to check all of them, we wouldve went to sleep with doors open. 3) The listing says that the property is lakeside and has a communal pool - neither is true. The lake is across the 4-lane road (house is set back into the woods a bit) and if there is a pool I imagine its the pool at one of the owned motels and were never provided instructions to access it.
Tips for finding the location - Directly across from Sun Beach and Northwinds Motel (look for large green campground billboard). Take an immediate right and drive past the all industrial cleaning buildings all the way down.

Such a fun stay and an amazing location for those not wanting neighbors and a short trip into the city. Great for bigger groups and loved we had access to the water park.
Beautiful home,excellent communication with host. Area is quiet and perfect walking distance to beach.DJ made sure living areas were clean, thank you.Definitely would come back.
The dishwasher didn’t work, I tried to notify our contact, but I wasn’t able to get ahold of them.
There is a laundry facility that shares the driveway, and sometimes their trucks block you in.
We did enjoy our stay.
Large house, showing some wear, you won’t be able to see the exterior soon, as the growth is taking over, not in a great place, if I hadn’t read the reviews I’m not sure I would have found it. It needs a deep cleaning on walls, ceiling fans, and wall decor, getting and returning the key super easy. The tv remotes didn’t work, along with the dvd player. But, I would still stay there again.
When we checked in property wasn't ready. THE property is owned by Days Inn, very unsanitary,smelled of mold,had to go to Walmart to buy many supplies for our stay. Location is odd by laundry facilities. Quiet location but wouldnt recommend. The waterpark is freezing n in disrepair-very filthy.

The property is not decorated remotely like the photos. Bare walls. Everything is very dated and rundown. The house is large with lots of room but a house that size has to be cleaned much better. Bad dust everywhere, floors were sticky, inside all of the kitchen cabinets were filthy. Half the lights in the house didnt work or we the fixtures were missing. Dishwasher was broken, washing machine smelled really bad. Outside landscaping, everything was overgrown and unkept. The path to the driveway is off putting and can be hard to find the first time around. A simple sign would help or a seperate drive directly to the house. We cleaned then stayed but would not rent again.
We loved the house. It was very clean and roomy. This house was built to be lived in. What a great location for a day visit to Macinaw Island or bridge access and northern Michigan. Some highlights: Red Tail Fox in back yard, Extra cedar sun room ( favorite morning coffee place), very comfortable beds and furnishings, Very Very clean, Fire pit with lots of outdoor seating, full kitchen, terrific master bedroom with spa tub and big walk-in showers. Easy to check-in, out and to find. As they say, bring your own entertainment and hot spot. WiFi in the area was good.
Beautiful home, but very neglected. What a shame, you can tell at one time this was a very nice home, but looks very neglected in recent times. Beautiful location, but awful trying to get to it. It needs a dedicated drive and not share with the laundry facility.
The house was adequate. We had to search for towels. There were only partial rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. No extras. For a reservation of 10 people. A toaster was listed as a kitchen appliance but after searching high and low we found none. The dishwasher was broken so with 10 people we had hand wash dishes. And last but not least the directions to find the place were awful. No one’s GOS could find it. The directions given to me when I picked up the key were good to a point. What they didn’t tell me was that when you turn right the first time, you’re turning into the commercial laundry facilities for all the hotels and you have to drive through their their parking lot to find a trail into the wood before you get to the house.
The property is nice, clean, and secluded. There were no salt and pepper, no spices, and no knives for dicing. Though it’s a house, you’ll need to bring things you typically wouldn’t. The check in process should be much easier than going to a hotel and picking up the key. Start with getting WiFi to the place and using a ring camera door bell as well as a key lock pad for easy check in. It was a good experience. But a one and done.

Same story as several other lower ratings. House was tricky to find and not clean or ready for us when we arrived. Host was not apologetic or friendly about sending a team to clean the house. No wifi or television channels, but dvd player worked so plan accordingly. Definitely wouldn’t be my first choice to stay again and certainly not worth the price - but the house was spacious and relatively comfortable so it did trick for our short trip.
It was a wonderful place to stay nestled in the woods. We had a family from Berlin, Germany staying with my husband.and I! The children ages 9,11, and 14, We had access to the lake and water park across the street so that was a bonus! I do have a complaint about the kitchen, no paper towels, no dishcloths (the dishwasher was broken) and only 2 wine glasses! Also, there was a bit of coffee for us but you should have a Keurig coffee maker as well! We brought Keurig pods with us, and/or a bigger coffee maker. The kids weren’t able to use tv or play a movie, not sure why! It also was very cold and we couldn’t control the air conditioner! Two adults and 3 children stayed upstairs and there were only 3 towels! Other than that a lovely location!

The house was NOT clean at all! It was very dirty, and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The kitchen was also filthy, and had very little in the way supplies to use. The pictures are very misleading, and do not accurately represent the inside or outside of the house. Also, getting to the house is a nightmare. When we arrived back at the house Saturday evening, the driveway was blocked by someone using a large machine, and refused to move it. After argument from our group, they finally moved it so we could access the driveway to the house. As for the positives, the host was very responsive when we arrived and realized the heat in the house was not working. Also, the house could be very nice with a very thorough cleaning and updating. Also, better access to the house would benefit renters greatly.

Horrible location and literally no amenities
House smelled musty, heat stopped working, furniture is not comfortable, no internet, no TV service, no hot water at first either. House is located next to the industrial cleaning facility that does all the laundry for the hotels.It is secluded, which is nice, and right near downtown Mackinaw City.
The house was secluded so that was a huge plus. Plenty of parking as well if you have multiple cars. Communication with host was lacking until the week of the stay. That aside, very nice stay.
