We really enjoyed our stay here. We loved how the owner had our own fire ring set up with chairs and firewood on the beach. We were able to enjoy a nice fire while we watched the moon rise over the lake. The property was conveniently located and was in a nice quiet area.
Came up here for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and to train our new puppy on travelling. This was a great place to introduce puppy to staying somewhere different. Everything you need for a long weekend was in the cottage. We did go in early May before the tourist season, so it was very quite. Lovely place.
Quiet, clean and quaint little cottage with a beautiful beach. Gave it a 4 star only because we were unaware of dogs that roamed on the property. Otherwise had no complaints, was a nice stay.
This cozy studio used the space very efficiently. It was clean and the charming decor added to the warm ambiance of this lakeside cabin. The view of Lake Huron made for stunning sunrises! The location was great!
Wonderful 3 day vacation! The little cottage was just as described.
Cozy and very clean!
Bed was so comfortable!
Linens were fresh!

Perfect Winter Getaway
It was my 1st time exploring Michigan in the winter. St Ignace did not disappoint. The cabin and property has a great view of the sunrise over Lake Huron. Accommodations were made for my fur baby which allowed for us all to be comfortable. Great cozy stay. I will definitely revisit in the summer to experience all that the beach and town have to offer.
Quaint little cabin. Nice lake access. Close to the highway, so some noise during the morning. We were gone most of the day, so not sure what the day was like. Friendly owners. Didn't have laundry like the listing said so we had to go into town and do it there. Bed was comfortable.
Quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Huron close to many attractions and even has a charging station for electric vehicles. Beautiful sunrises over the water and star filled skies each night.
We enjoyed a bonfire on the beach every evening after a fabulous day out in the area.
We visited Mackinaw Island, the Soo Locks and Tower of History in Sault Sainte Marie, hiked the Tahquamenon Falls and kayaked the magnificent Painted Rocks on Lake Superior. We highly recommend!
The space is small and cozy but functional and comfortable. I am a single mom with 2 teens. The queen bed and sofa fit our needs perfectly. It was minutes from the ferry to Mackinac island. We utilized the beach to kayak and had a fire for roasting s’mores. The kitchen was tiny but adequate, the propane grill worked fine and stove and microwave for reheating. Lake Huron was beautiful and while my exhausted teens slept in, I enjoyed coffee at the beach and beautiful views. I felt safe and it was NOT touristy and crowded (a bonus for us).
Thanks for the memories!
Great quick getaway with my wife! Perfect location! We were able to sit on the beach and enjoy the waves and view without any distractions. The cottage was just the right size for the two of us. Couldn't ask for anything better!

It's the perfect couples get away cabin. It's small but fully functional, we had everything we needed and more.
Absolutely awesome one bedroom cabin with the bed in front of the fireplace and a big picture window overlooking the water we loved it, will be back again on our Harleys when the weather is warm!
The cottage was super cute and cozy! We loved the indoor fireplace, as we arrived on a very cold and rainy weekend. It was clean and well kept, and even magazines/books/and games were provided. The location is perfect! Very close to the ferry as well as the town shops/restaurants of St. Ignace. The property itself is beautiful, and will will definitely miss waking up and looking at the calm waters of the lake!
