This house is a gem of a place. The kitchen and living room are central and inviting. My brother’s family and my family stayed and were able to hang out comfortably. The place is quiet and in the woods and a reasonable drive to Mackinac city, where we caught the ferry to the island.

This was a great place if you need lots of room to sleep. As a family of 6 we spend a lot of time out and about on vacations and this place was wonderful to come back to and crash. The kitchen had everything you could need to make meals from a crock pot and air fryer to and ice maker in the freezer. Best VRBO kitchen thoughtfulness I’ve had. The main family area had a nice big sofa sectional that we could all get on for a movie night. Both bathrooms had ample space. While we happened to visit during an extreme heat wave even for MI, the mobile air conditioning units worked pretty well for keeping the main area bareable. Off the beaten path so no traffic noise, but not too far from town that you couldn’t get what you need in 10 minutes. Lots of bugs outside but that’s to be expected. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The house was well located for our event, very clean and very comfortable. Close enough for the things that we wanted to do, yet remote enough for privacy and the remote feeling we enjoy. Amy was awesome to work with.
