Mariner's Passage-Freighter Views & Best Sunsets

If you are looking for a great summer getaway to an unspoiled, unhurried, unbelievable place, look no further. This luxurious vacation home is nestled on 11 wooded acres with over 500' of private lake frontage on Lake Huron. This is not a condo or in an association. This is all private lake frontage for your ultimate relaxing vacation. When you arrive to your vacation home, you will be amazed at your 1500 sq. ft. white cedar deck overlooking Lake Huron. The deck is great for entertaining, or just sipping your favorite beverage while watching all the Great Lakes freighters right out front. I built this home in the year 2000, with nothing but quality materials and craftsmanship. The home boasts a wall of glass facing the lake that goes from the floor to the ceiling. In the home you will find over 50,000 lineal feet of western red cedar imported from Oregon. In the bedrooms you will find custom made furniture, including log beds, dressers and night stands. The master suite has over 900 sq. ft. and includes a bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and a walk-in shower. The game room has a pool table and Foosball table (just in case there is a rainy day). I built this home on Drummond Island because it truly is the best place in the world to relax. The sunsets are some of the best in the world. This home includes a pool table, a Foosball table, and an indoor whirlpool tub. It has every modern convenience combined with the appeal of a northern atmosphere. If you can't relax here, you should see a doctor.

The Drummonds visit Drummond Island
Bill and Marguerita brought Harry and Sarah Drummond to the UP! Wonderful fun just sitting watching the ships and wild life. The Lodge has spacious areas for gathering. We hated to leave so soon.

Beautiful
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Drummond Island. The house is very spacious and clean. Watching the ships pass through the straights was a huge plus. The only negative for us was the fact that we had to trailer our SXS's east to the trails.

Great Vacation Home
My family and I had a great experience staying at this rental! We enjoyed collecting rocks by the water, hanging out on the extra large deck and walking the long drive. The master bedroom is beyond spacious and the boys had a great time with the pool table in the loft. It was nice and open for everyone to be able to spend time together!

Great views and enough space for everyone.
This was a great place to stay. There was so much space for everyone to relax. The views were amazing and the deck was great. A few notes, the trash was overflowing and there was a bunch of bugs on the outside windows. Make sure to bring paper towels, dish soap and toilet paper.

RENTER BEWARE-NOT AS ADVERTISED/FILTHY/POOR COMMUNICATION!!!
Our first impression of the property was the trash burn “pile” between the driveways. The outside of the home was covered cobwebs and there were cigarette butts in the driveway. The furniture on the deck has large tears in the seats and were not usable. There was a small table on the deck but no chairs to sit in. The inside of the home was very dirty. It had clearly not been cleaned since the last renters had been there. There was dirt and food crumbs on the floors. The carpet was stained and not vacuumed. There was a large amount of an unknown sticky substance on the floor in front of the refrigerator. There was meat juice (blood) on a shelf in the refrigerator and every shelf was dirty. There was black mold on the doors of the refrigerator. The counters were dirty. There were only a couple partial rolls of toilet paper, soap containers in the bathroom were almost empty with nothing to refill them with, no Diana washer or dish soap, no broom and no mop. There were just enough towels for each person in our group of nine to have one each for the entire week. There were used/damp/mildewy towels on the back of a bathroom door when we arrived. The toilet paper holders in two of the three bathrooms were broken and unusable. The dryer handle was broken/missing and there were no instructions on how to use it but a pair of needle nose pliers was sitting on the washer that worked to start it. The propane tank for the grill was empty. The owner did not respond to messages promptly and did not apologize or offer anything to try to rectify the situation except to send his “housekeeper” back (who clearly hadn’t been there at all). We spent two hours cleaning the home when we got there so we could unpack. We also cleaned it before we left and left it cleaner than it was when we arrived.
