Great House and Perfect Location
4 adults and 2 kids (4 and 9) stayed memorial weekend - We spent time in both Cheboygan and Mackinac City - perfect location for us. House was super clean. Everything we needed was there. Beds are very comfortable - I did bring my own pillows. We had a couple bonfires, grilled and just spent time relaxing. The kids had plenty of room to roam outside and there were games inside as well - we had a little bit of rain. Overall EXCELLENT home to stay in and we will definitely be back for hopefully a longer stay next time!

Reed Family Fall Tree Color Tour getaway 2023
Place was great very clean we brought our two dogs with us on this trip, and they had dog bowls available for us one had water in it already for them from the long drive when we arrived. We brought our own but appreciated that they had some available incase we forgot. The setting was nice home was surrounded by trees they had a fire pit and chairs set up in the side yard but sadly it rained every day during our stay, so we did not get to use it. We did use the propane grill a couple nights to make our dinner which was nice. It was a quick drive into downtown area of Cheboygan to go shopping or pick up a pizza. all in all, it was a great experience and I highly recommend to anyone to stay here.

Clean and well-equipped
This was a very clean and well-equipped property. It was clearly new, but the hosts considered all our needs. We used the fire pit every night. It was handy to Mackinaw as well as to Cheboygan and the west side of the peninsula.

Beautiful home in a great location
This home was perfect. We loved the way it was decorated and its layout. It's proximity to Cheboygan and Macinaw City was great. We also loved the home's privacy. The campfire area was great as well. And we appreciated that the wood was provided and so many chairs were there. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
