Charm and character
The Bunkhouse was clean, comfortable and full of character and charm. It served our needs well. zi would offer two suggestions to the Owner/Host. 1. The recessed landing at the top of the stairs is dangerous, especially at night. It should be the same level as the hall and flooring leading into the bathroom. 2. The main level bath and commode need floor work too. I felt that a seat belt was almost needed to use the commode, due to the slanting of the floor and toilet! We managed, but it should be addressed.

Great location-great spot for families with teens
Great location within walking distance of ferry dock and downtown shops. Property was clean, spacious and really comfortable for our family with two adult kids on a trip with parents—we all had our own space! Lots of stocked book shelves and yard games. Fire pit was a fun evening gathering spot. The only downside was the late-night noise from the apartments across the street.
Overall a great stay—would definitely recommend.

Minor repairs needed. Excepting that, it was a nice place to stay. There was no communication with property manager.

Annual vacay with high school friends
Property was nice, everyone liked the size and location, however there were small things that need fixing.
Chair in small bedroom wicker chair upstairs a had indentation which, blind in upstairs bathroom is broke on the bottom, one of the lights by the parking pad is broke, and the stove hood has a piece drooping. I sent picts to our contact thru a text but did not hear back. Also there is a light bulb out on the stove hood and upstairs bathroom.
We loved the fire Pitt and wood supply.

Terrible place
This was the worst vacational home I ever stay
The 2 out of three bedrooms are very small
There was no dishwasher
Air condition was not there , temp was bit high during our stay , was very uncomfortable to sleep and stay .
Couches are very old , dirty and uncomfortable .
The house is bit old and it create noise in every furniture door. When you walk that create wired noise . There was very very less game items.
The doors have no proper nob, or stoppers

Close to all the things we wanted to do
This cabin was close to downtown, sheplers, ferry, and the Mackinac bridge. We enjoyed it, and it was equipped with everything we needed.
