Summary: We had the pleasure of staying for 4 nights in early June. This is a beautiful, clean home right on the shores of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed every second we were in the house. There is plenty of room to stretch out, 3 large bedrooms, 2 living areas and plenty of beautiful outdoor space. The “tower room” is particularly spectacular with great views of Lake Michigan! We had everything we needed and would absolutely stay at this home again. The location is perfect and easy to get to Mackinaw or to UP in minutes. One day we needed batteries for a remote, texted Tim and he had them at our door within an hour or so. We couldn’t have been happier. What a wonderful time in a beautiful home!

Summary: We (3 married couples) had a lovely time. The cigar smoker halves of the couples loved sitting by the lake and smoking and watching the sun set. The hosts and their daughter were extremely helpful. There are lots of stairs, so be prepared.

Summary: This house was great for our family. The owners were very responsive to questions throughout our stay. Very clean. Beds very comfortable. Good wifi and cable which allowed us to watch the Olympics which were on during our stay. The kitchen is on the small side but we managed. The outside was my favorite part of the house. Loved the beach, the fire pit, the deck. Although the frontage is pretty small, it was sandy and shallow a long way out. We were also able to enjoy the kayaks provided. Did some stargazing and saw a bald eagle or two.

Summary: This home looks newly renovated and is absolutely beautiful!! We loved having the windows open and listening to the waves all week. It is a very quiet location with hardly any one on the beach. The house is fully stocked and the Owner is amazing to work with!! Highly recommend this property.

Summary: OMG I can’t say enough great things about this house! Facing west on Cecil Bay, sunsets absolutely gorgeous, conveniently located yet very private. Very clean. Very well stocked with everything you could need for a Machinaw vacation! Highly recommend it if you don’t want to stay in a hotel in the middle of the tourist area, yet want to be close enough to enjoy without more than a short drive.

Summary: We were there for our son's wedding at the Headland park in October. The convenience was great. The house was much more that I expected. We enjoyed it so much that we would love to come back but our whole family is to large to rent here.
