It was a lovely place to stay . The cabin was clean and comfortable. The manager Martin was welcoming and kind. Mornings watching the sunrise was just beautiful and peaceful. The cozy fire pit was the perfect way to end the night ! I would come back and I will tell my friends about it !These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Beach is wonderful for relaxing in front of fire pits. Cabins are ok. Little outdated but comfortable. Overall a good place to stay.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|It is always clean, accommodating and so serene being right on the water. Its a down to earth cabin/hotel and the caretaker goes above and beyond to make your visit a great experience! I have stayed here for 2-4 nights for each of the last 5-6 years.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Original cottages updated for modern travelers. A double queen with a fridge, microwave and dining table still had room for all our stuff. Beautiful beach.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The staff provided exceptional service, demonstrating both helpfulness and a welcoming demeanor, and readily accommodated our needs.

Cabin was great,These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Nice clean remodeled rooms. Kids really enjoyed the closeness to the beach would defiantly go back.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The location and simplicity of the cabins right off the beach is the draw. The accommodations are minimal and clean. The kitchenette is a coffee maker, microwave and small fridge. There are grills available however they are pretty janky-we made the best of it and ate out most of our meals.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Loved the individual cottages. The manager, Martin was terrific and a great communicator. As a matter of fact we liked our stay so much that we booked with him immediately for the next week.

Easy access to the docks for ferries. Nice beach access.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Martin is always nice to us and remembers us from year to year. We enjoy staying at the beach house because it reminds me of family vacations in another state with older style cottages.

Accommodations were equal to a 3 star hotel.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Cute, cozy, interior log walled cabin. Beds were very comfortable. Big detractor from 5 stars though was nasty stained couch ;( Would have appreciated a few more amenities in the kitchenette for the price. Also, more comfortable beach chairs and towels would be a good addition.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The room was nice and clean and actually larger than expected, they warned us it was a small cabin.

We would stay here again!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The cabin was small and basic, but very clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located. Check in and check out were easy. My only suggestion/request would be to provide better coffee- I'm not usually picky, but it was pretty bad! Other than that, our stay went great.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Very nice cottage would definitely recommend and would stay there again.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|We loved our stay in the private cabin! It was cozy, quiet, and came with a small kitchenette, which was perfect for simple meals. The private beach access was a huge bonus, and the indoor pool was a nice option as well.The cabin came fully stockedshower essentials, bedding, towelsso we didnt need to bring much at all. It felt like a hotel, but with all the comforts of a home away from home.The only downside for us was the pet policy. We couldnt bring our dog into the lake because wet dogs werent allowed back into the cabin, and we also werent allowed to leave our dog alone inside, which made it hard to explore places that didnt allow pets. If the flooring were laminate or hardwood, it would make cleanup easier and maybe allow for more flexibility with pets.Aside from that, it was a great experience, and wed definitely come back!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Everything worked out fine. It was a little pricey however its understandable for the time of the year.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Perfect location just far enough outside of Mackinaw City to be quiet but close enough to be in town in 5 minutes. Quaint cabins kept very clean. Management needs to add daily housekeeping room refresh, e.g. take out trash, make beds, replace towels.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The location was wonderful and the beach house along the lake had a great view. The staff was friendly and they helped with calling a shuttle to get to ferries and with local suggestions of things to do.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Enjoyed our stay, room was nice and clean.

It is so quiet in that area. We are always welcomed when we come for one night or several. It has been nice to see the updates each year we come, but the vintage style is still there.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Lovely little place on the water.

Worked out great traveling with our dog. Only downside was the road construction right in front of the cabins that started every morning at 7 am. Very loud and shook the whole cabin!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Cabin 27 was perfect! there are a few things that I might recommend just to make things a little bit easier, the sleeping area closest to the closet , and on the same wall as the bathroom, maybe add a small shelf. Everything was perfect for our stay, and we will be back and recommend. The hospitality by your staff was five star!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Very nice clean room, comfortable bed, and beautiful views!

Beach is incredibleThese comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|We stayed in a clean, cozy beachfront cabin overlooking the lake, with Mackinaw Island and the bridge in view.

I will be planning to visit again.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|The manager was extremely helpful since I had reserved a cabin that would not have accommodated 3 people (although I had there was 3 of us in the booking app). The location was awesome. There were grills available to use as well as items in the office if you didn't want to eat out the whole time. We used the pool and hot tub as well as sat on the beach.
