If you want to have an amazing vacation, then absolutely choose this location! Mary Lynn is the most wonderful host we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She is an awesome communicator, is beyond friendly, and is very accommodating to any requests or questions you may have.The check-in process was very smooth. We received our information a few days in advance, and everything was exactly as had been outlined. The keyless lock is a great thing - no worrying about accidentally locking yourself out or losing keys!The property itself is fantastic. It is located on a very quiet road - there are only two houses. From the kitchen window, you can see a teaser of Lake Michigan through the trees, and it's not even a five minute walk to get to the water's edge (which has an amazing view of the Mackinac Bridge).The cottage is wonderful. The kitchen is very large, and with a double oven, I was thinking I wish I could come back to bake cookies for Christmas with all that available space! LOL But the cottage is very cosy and comfortable, and we loved every minute of our stay there. It would be nice to come back in colder months to be able to make use of the electric fireplace! _We could go on and on about how amazing this place is, but just go and rent it for yourself! You won't be disappointed in the least!

Exemplary Beautiful Home!!!

Stayed here with my mom while we explored the area. This home is so beautiful, wonderfully maintained, the host has personal touches all over the house that will make your stay here just wonderful! From homemade rhubarb bread, to a chocolate bar, to a book written about the owner's husband you will just love this place! Can't say enough good about it! Must stay here again!

The place was very nice, however, it did have a musty smell. Photo is deceiving. I thought we would be staying at a place with a big porch.Having access to a golf cart at no additional cost was a nice extra.Mary Lynn was welcoming. She was glad to see us.

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.

A Great "Up-North" Cottage

This charming VRBO was exactly as advertised! It was located in a very quiet area yet was only a short drive to downtown. It was clean, modern, and very obviously well taken care of. There was plenty of room for my husband and me.

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.

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 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!
