10/10 Excellent
"We had a recent stay with 7 people. The cabin was nice and clean and was spacious enough for 7. We had some issues with key cards and some supplies but those were quickly resolved. The front porch was nice and gave us a front seat to the Mackinaw City fireworks show right from the porch. The bathroom is huge, it probably could have been made much smaller and add more room to the kitchenette. It was also odd that in a cabin for 7 people there was only a small garbage can provided, like something you’d find in an office. A few in our party used the hot tub and swimming pool, nothing to brag about but they were functional and available. There is an attached water park to the property that we did not use. Overall we’d definitely stay there again."
