Tranquil Retreat or Romantic Getaway in Beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

A beautiful log home apartment in the woods. A tranquil, peaceful and private getaway in a safe area. Also handicap accessibility. A short distance from Lake Michigan with spectacular views of the Mackinac Bridge, islands and wildlife. Near Sand Bay, a sandy beach for swimming and kayaking. Many tourist attractions: Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Sault Locks, forts and museums.
I have lived in Saint Ignace all my life - my roots here go back to 1885. My family are some of the first settlers in this quaint city. I LIVE ON SITE. My home is divided with private entrance for visitors. No shared space. Enjoy my beautiful island flower garden with pond and lighthouse and the train garden. Wildlife including deer and even a moose have stopped by for a visit. Truly a tranquil romantic paradise!

For those with allergies - rest assured that there has never been a pet inside the log home apartment.
Electric heat, air conditioning and air filtering system. There are no fragrances.
Well water and Culligan's reverse osmosis water filtering system.
Free and sensitive detergents.

Great location

The location and our stay were great! The host was extremely welcoming and the perfect host! It is close to the beach, and to the St Ignace ferry to Mackinac Island which we preferred over the busier Mackinaw City port. The house was roomy with lots of amenities. The gardens were beautiful in July and it was a very quiet setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Getaway

Loved the little log home away from home. It was the perfect location and Mary Lynn was just wonderful. It was so beautiful, so peaceful and so quiet. Tucked away in a beautiful area. Would highly recommend staying here. If we are back this way and need a place to stay this will be number one on our list.

Perfect weekend getaway

This was such a beautiful property. The views of the woods and garden create the perfect backdrop for the cozy log home. Everything was neat and clean and Mary Lynn made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was the perfect place to come home to after exploring the U.P. each day.

Anniversary Trip 💕

Mary Lynn is by far the best host I have ever booked with! Great communication and truly thoughtful, she made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend getaway to Mackinaw Island. The homemade banana bread and access to her golf cart were added bonuses! We highly recommend this beautiful log cabin!

Rest in middle of our road trip

This apartment was ideal for us. All amenities were outstanding. Quiet location with a lakeshore walk just a block away. The hostess lived in the town all her life and gave great tips on places to eat and visit. Beautiful gardens. Washer/dryer. We are pleased to rate all aspects 5 stars.

Cute slice of paradise!

We were immediately greeted by the property owner who made us feel very special and cared for. She offered her golf cart for a beautiful ride along the Lake Michigan shore. There were special treats and flowers waiting for us when we went in. Very inviting and well cared for property. Loved our visit and hope to come back again.

Very Accommodating!

The property was beautiful! The landscaping was impressive and lovely. The private apartment attached to the home was very clean and inviting. The host had fresh flowers from her property waiting, local fudge, and fresh bread. She was kind, informative, and helpful. We had a wonderful and relaxing experience!!

Michigan road trip

My husband and I stayed here for a quick visit to mackinac Island. I wish we could've stayed longer. It was such a cute and quiet place. Not to mention Mary Lynn is great. When my husband and I were pulling out of the drive we both said that felt like staying at a family members place. Would totally recommend. And I hope we get a chance to go back someday.

Beyond Beautiful

Words cannot describe how incredibly beautiful and precious this place is. The location is amazing with spectacular views of the bridge and the property of the host, Mary Lynn has the most spectacular flower and train garden. Speaking of the host, Mary Lynn is the most gracious, kind and accommodating person. She made our stay so special and memorable. We came as friends and when we left we felt like family. We loved our stay and cannot wait to make plans for next trip.

A Retreat in Paradise!

Mary Lynn is an A* host! She is warm and welcoming. I came as a stranger and left as a friend. Her cozy, log cabin is minutes away from the Mackinaw bridge and downtown St Ignace, yet you feel like you are in your own personal paradise. Her property is encircled by trees and punctuated with her gorgeous gardens. It was the perfect creative backdrop for my personal writing retreat and I have no doubt I will be back!

GREAT LAKES INTRODUCTION

This property was the greatest. The home was clean, roomy, all the necessities of home were supplied. The host was phenomenon, she provided us with activites in the area, and tasty places to eat. Not to mention the banana bread upon arrival. She even had a golf cart for us to use to site see along Lake Michigan which is at her back door. Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. Great for 2 people! She even had a golf cart for our use

A Lovely Place

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here! The property and suite have a unique rustic feel, while still offering all the comforts you need. The suite is clean and well-maintained. Mary Lynn did an excellent job making sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. The suite is well-stocked (even with things we didn't expect like suitcase racks and a slow cooker). She left little extra touches as well; local treats and fresh cut flowers. She left lots of information about attractions and things to do in the area. Overall, we had an amazing weekend staying here and heartily recommend!

Beautiful and comfortable getaway

Very comfortable, clean, and well equipped property. The rental portion is setup up as an attached "mother-in-law" suite to the host's very nice, true log home. Well insulated, and quite soundproof, so you're comfortable in any weather. The interior is cozy, and stocked with any appliance or such you may need. The bed and pillows are comfy and the blackout shades were a nice touch for when you want to sleep in in the morning. The grounds are very clean with nice gardens. Mary Lynn is a gracious, gem of a hostess, very thoughtful and kind. The area around the home is quiet, very close to the shoreline, and just a short drive into town. 10/10, would recommend and not hesitate to book again.
