Carter's Getaway Drummond Island vacation rental

Drummond Island is comprised of 87,000 acres, 150 miles of rugged scenic shoreline, 133 square miles of forested landscape, and 34 inland lakes. Within this diverse habitat, a number of rare species, land formations and plants can be found. Drummond Island and its surrounding waters offer a wide mix of land forms to explore. Getting to most of them is easy; getting to some of them has been described as gut-wrenching. The second largest island in the Great Lakes of Michigan, Drummond is located a short ferry ride from the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula. Therefore, the Island is a relatively easy place to visit for your own natural history adventure. The local attitude toward visitors, “Come often, play nicely,” has paid off in the protection of a wide range of unique public places for you to explore. It is no secret among Anglers that Drummond Island “is” The Gem of the Huron. The waters are as diverse as the fish, aquatic and other types of water wildlife. From it’s pristine clear blue waters and rocky shorelines to underwater shoals and reefs, sand and gravel substrates and vast weed beds, combined with shallow soft bottom flats creates a true Mecca of opportunity to experience fishing at it’s best. This area truly is God’s country. The peace and serenity you will find will have you longing for a return visit to this outdoor paradise. Bring the family and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

We love carters getaway. We’ve stayed 4 times now. We love the location of the house and the comfort. However, this year the firepit was a big inconvenience and quite hazardous. Getting down to the water and dock are a little tricky for children as well…I would imagine older people would also have a hard time accessing it which is a bummer.

We enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the primary bath shower. Home was VERY well equipped. Fire pit was challenging but pretty to look at. Beach view was beautiful but we didn’t go in the water. Overall we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying there.

Drummond Island Lake Home

We love Drummond Island and we loved this home. it was as described, very clean, nice beds. We enjoyed the quiet, the stars and the loons on the lake. We went ATVing on the island, hiking and riding the backroads. We enjoyed dining at Northwood Restaurant and Esthers which are nearby. Drummond Island is a great place for those who want to get away from civilization and enjoy the outdoors. Carter's Getaway is a great place to stay.
