The place was really large and so peaceful being right on the water. We did not use the pontoon or the kayaks. Our dog enjoyed staying there. We saw the northern lights one evening. Easy drive to Saint ignace for meals and to catch the ferry. Porches were great.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Nice spot on the bay and river. It was quiet but still close to St Ignace. House had everything we needed. We enjoyed the deck, big yard, and firepit. We have made many trips to the UP and finally got the see the northern lights this time. We would definitely come and stay again.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
The property is beautiful and communication with the host was easy. The cleanliness of the cottage was a little disappointing after so many excellent reviews saying otherwise. High traffic areas are obviously cleaned well, but anything out of the way at all (under beds, windowsills, inside of washing machine, etc) were quite dirty. The cottage does not have AC, which was uncomfortable, but only on the first day of our stay before it cooled off. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The cottage worked well as a base for day trips.
