Rustic 125yr old cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect family get away. The kitchen is well equipped and linens and towels are provided. The home has 5 bedrooms & 1 bath.

There is a gas fireplace in the living room for chilly evenings, a flat screen TV with a dvd player, there are also many games, books and cards for your enjoyment. It has a large yard with lots of room for little ones to play. Look out of your glass enclosed porch with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and watch the ferries shuffle people to Mackinac Island.

We had a great stay! The house is close to everything. You can see the water and island from the house! The beach is only a couple minutes down the road and so are all the shops and places to see or go! We will be back most likely!!! Thank you!

Should be condemned
This shack was nearly crumbling from the foundation to the roof. It had none of the rustic charm advertized. It was rusty, not rustic. It smelled of natural gas and mold. The furniture and beds were probably claimed from dumpster diving. Many of the lights had no bulbs or didn't work at all. We stayed one night and requested some tefund from the host for the other four nights. He refused to reply to our texts.

Outdated pics
Let me say, I wish I could upload some new photos on here. The ceilings were black from the heat, the bathroom tub was so sketchy, the room with twin beds felt like the floor joist had given in, there were huge cracks and holes in the walls upstairs. The kitchen drawer fell off in my hand when I went to get a spoon. There was a huge crack at the back door where old air kept blowing in and the floor was rotten where I assume rain or snow got in. I could go on and on. We have rented numerous times through VRBO. This is the only time we got burnt. We also couldn’t take the trash out because there was no trash can outside. We waited to place it outside when we checked out. We couldn’t earlier because the neighbors giant dog came running up and barking when we would pull up. Just keep looking.

Great place
We booked the house for 5 nights and had a great time. It is centrally located so was near the ferry’s, restaurants, shops, etc. There is a grocery store right up the street and a family dollar. The house is old but has a lot of character with a great sun room and deck off an upstairs bedroom. Mark, the owner, is great to work with and very responsive when needed. We will be back next time we make it back to Michigan!

Quirky Cottage
The property was easy to find, affordable, and in a good location. The house is old so it definitely has its crooked quirks, but functions well for the purpose. It was well stocked with bedding, towels, and essentials. We were pleasantly surprised with the showers water pressure and no hard water! The yard could use some upkeep from weeds and dog poo. The owner offered the cleaning fee back if we were able to do the cleaning as the typical crew was not available. We didn’t have a problem doing that for a $100 refund, which was quickly refunded through Vrbo. Overall we were happy with the accommodations.

3 generations taking my parents to cross off one of the few remaining states off the list of ones they’ve not been to. The property manager was so kind and considerate 🥰 he checked in on us to make sure all was well. The home was huge for being built when it was! We had plenty room to roam around. Very well appointed also. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals when we decided to. You could really feel the history and the love that went into this house ❤️. Thank you Mark for making my parents last road trip a memorable one!

Great little cottage and fantastic communication!
My family stayed at this cottage for 4 nights and it was great! I feel so bad for the owner that many have been harsh about this property in their reviews. It is not in perfect condition, but the owner is very clear about that in his description. The cottage is over 100 years old, so I would describe it as full of character! The photos are 100% accurate of this property, too. It is clearly a very loved cottage and it is clear the owners have a lot of pride in this property. The communication with them was great before, throughout, and after our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book it again if we were to travel to the area. Thank you Mark for your wonderful cottage to rest our heads while we explored the UP!

Do not book this property!
There was black mold everywhere in the shower. The ceilings are caving in. I know other reviews mention the floors are uneven, but you can't even put words too how bad they are. The entire house is caving in. So bad the doors swing on their own. The owner was quick with communicating, but when I sent him pictures of the black mold in the shower, he just said "oh, I must have missed that". No offer to refund. Told me to file an insurance claim. Neither door shuts and locks securely. If this were our first vbro experience, it would be our last. Absolutely horrific!!

Renter Beware
Seeing a 4.1 rating I did not feel it was necessary to check the reviews. Boy was I wrong! This was my first and likely last time I will be using any vacation rental sites to book a vacation because apparently the owners of the property submit photos of any kind and can get away with it. We took 17 photos which have all been submitted to VRBO for review and I filed a complaint with St. Ignace code enforcement office regarding this property. This house is literally splitting in two! After messaging the owner and stating I’ve seen his stance when others have asked for a refund but I was at least going to try…I was given a photo of a text message exchange from someone who supposedly stayed there the week before us who seemed happy with their stay. I can only assume that they were happy with their stay meant the location itself and not the house. He blamed me for not reading the reviews and didn’t even acknowledge my request for a refund. We spent 40 minutes in this property, the majority of which was searching for an actual place to feel safe and comfortable in for our weeks vacation. All communication stopped with the owner after he said he was frustrated because someone else could have rented the house and enjoyed themselves and I stated I wished he had scammed someone else out of the money and not us. Please read the reviews and do not give this owner another dime!

Deceiving ad and pics
Pictures are at least 5 yrs old and are not representative of this property, it was a 4/5 bedroom farm house not a cottage ! with gaps of cold air coming in from everywhere, no heat in any bedrooms, not a winter rental, we stayed a total of 30/40 minutes and the uneven floors in different directions gave us both headaches so we left. We ONLY ASKED FOR CLEANING FEE ((99.00)TO BE REFUNDED and got a HARD NO. The only bad experience we have had with VRBO ! By the by VRBO only represents owners , NOT us.
