June in Michigan

We enjoyed our stay. However, the place could use some TLC. The deck was really in need of cleaning and staining. The beds need to be replaced. Very uncomfortable and bedding very old. With some upgrades, it would be a great place to stay.

We had a pleasant time at the cabin here. Unable to utilize the outside/deck due to midge fly hatch, this was unfortunate but chad was a very attentive and workable host! Location was great for all our Michigan adventures, house was roomy and spacious for our party of 8, would come back again!

Perfect!

We loved everything about this place (except the cabin water----definitely recommend bringing your own water!)! The layout of the cabin is wonderful, the furnishings/decor are sweet, the view is spectacular, the location and lot size are great! Really can't say anything negative. Wonderful place to get away & relax!

Comfortable house with great views

Our group enjoyed our visit. The house was a good configuration for our group size and we could accommodate all of the members' restrictions with climbing stairs, etc. The beach access is the easiest that we have encountered in the various rentals we have had on Lake Michigan and that added to our enjoyment. It was a convenient locations for all of our day-trips around the eastern UP. The high ceilings, skylights and huge picture window in the living room provide spectacular views and a light and airy feeling.

What A View!

My family of five spent a week here and it was an incredible experience. The house is located just close enough to town (and Mackinac Island) to be convenient but far enough away to feel secluded and enjoy dark skies for stargazing. Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, the Soo are all easy 1-2 hour drives from here. When we weren't out exploring, we spent most of our time relaxing on the deck or down by the shore walking the beach, skipping rocks or playing in the water. The house is as beautiful as the view and well-maintained. There was plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other. We had lots of fires down at the firepit and went through plenty of bags of marshmallows. The only spoiler were the giant mosquitoes but they're everywhere you go in Michigan, so come prepared. Definitely bring bug spray. We ate mostly at the house and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. There's a barbecue on the deck that works well. All in all, I'd highly recommend a stay here. Thanks Chad!

The view was beautiful but…

While the view of the lake is beautiful, first impressions left much to be desired. The deck was not staged and ready for renters to take advantage of it. There was only one chair and a dirty table shoved off to the side of the weathered deck. The kitchen and bathrooms felt clean, and the beds were comfortable, but the floors and area rugs had not been cleaned. There were piles of dead bugs or something in the corners of the dining area and the closet. We were met with chirping fire and carbon monoxide alarms. I contacted the owner and about four hours later, he messaged me that there “should be” replacement batteries in a kitchen drawer. He never checked back to see if the issue was taken care of. We did not find batteries, but we thought we had silenced them all, but were all awakened to chirping in the middle of the night and never got back to a restful sleep, as every few seconds there was another chirp. We were informed before arrival that there was no internet but that there was Dish satellite tv. We found four remotes on the coffee table, but no instructions. Upon inspection, we found the dish cable was disconnected. We plugged it back in, but still no tv. Not a huge problem as we planned to do a lot of sightseeing in the area. But also not what was expected. I would give our stay overall a score of 3 which is disappointing because I felt we were splurging for a much better experience. When I am charged an additional cleaning fee, I expect rugs and floors to be clean.

We had a lovely time at this house. Really enjoyed the beach for the kids! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the location is awesome. We appreciated the wide array of fans in the closets to help keep it cool.

Secluded Get-Away

If you desire a wooded area away from the action of town-life, this is for you. Hunters and fishermen who are not concerned with basic amenities might appreciate. Definitely not for you if you are used to basic conveniences provided by other VRBO properties. While I still rate this as ok, I have experienced better attention to details by property owners. This is a basic place to lay your head. Owners appear unconcerned with providing amenities for their guests. It clearly states online that soap/body wash is not provided. However, I consider that a basic convenience. At least included at all other VRBOs (and hotels) at which I have stayed. Sheets did not fit the bed upstairs. The house is in need of simple repairs. Deck was not inviting, no furniture to sit and enjoy coffee outside. Hard water and stains definitely affect the appearance of eating utensils and dishes. I guess the rustic life with few amenities is not for me. Chad was nice enough and communicated well, but I expected more. I recall the online listing saying this was only 6 or 7 miles from St. Ignace, but it is more accurately 11 miles from town. Not a deal-breaker though.

Not accurate details in listing

The property can be great but sorely let go. The pictures on the listing are not current. There are broken doors, mold and deteriorating walls in bathrooms and overall a dirty home. We could not give the kids a bath in either tub and fought ants the whole week through the entire house. It would have been helpful to have a bug repellent device outside on the deck to spend any time there but there wasn’t any furniture on it anyway. The gas grill is unusable. We bought paper plates and cups as the dishwasher leaves a thick film on the kitchenware.

Family trip

Wonderful long weekend family trip. The guys did some fishing and us ladies and kids did some shopping in town. We all visited the Deer Ranch twice. The house was just as listed. It was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Chad was great to work with.

Property is nice but needs updating and new cleaning service.

Owner's cleaning service is not very astute. They ask you to put dishes in dishwasher and turn it on when you leave but don't provide dishwasher detergent. So, coffee cups are horribly stained and dirty on arrival. We only used coffee pot and coffee cups during our stay as we ate out our entire stay. We had to wash our cups with a brush to get them usable. Two beds were made without top sheets so we had to find top sheets to go between the fitted sheets and comforter. They were available but the cleaning person obviously doesn't care about quality work. Child finger prints are on the massive windows from previous guests and either not seen or simply not cleaned off. Bath tubs did not have anti-slip mats so they were improvising with a rug, stayed wet because it's not designed for the purpose. Lawn and driveway need some maintenance as limbs from trees obstruct view and rub your rental car as you drive in the driveway. All in all, it was nice enough and we are happy but I do a pretty concise review so the owner can either be aware of the problems and fix or he can ignore them and loose future guests.

Lacks basic amenities, cleanliness issues and loads of bugs and insects lying around.

Although the cabin had a rustic charm and a nice walkout to the beach, the absence of WiFi and the abundance of mosquitoes made for a less than desirable experience for us. The cabin was lacking in cleanliness and in need of upgrades in the kitchen and bathroom. When asked about air conditioning, the owner informed us that there isn’t one as the cabin cools down in the night which is far from truth when the weather is warm and you can’t open windows for ventilation. Potential guests should be aware of these drawbacks before booking.

Beautiful

It was located on Lake Michigan, at a perfect spot along the beach. Easy drive to the town of Saint Ignace for anything my family needed during our 6 night stay. It was clean and well stocked. The master bedroom had the most comfortable bed. Like a gigantic pillow. Best sleep I have ever had while on vacation. The TV had its own ideas of not working (I think it was trees obscuring the satellite) but we watched a movie that was in the cabinet and played games we brought with us. Overall, a very nice time.

Loved our stay in St ignace

We had an easy check in process. Went well. It did seem clean and I felt super comfortable there. It was basically a private beach we had access to. We did not see another soul the whole time we were on the beach. Only negatives I would say is that there is no wifi which I understand that after I booked I read that it is spotty so they don’t have it but I had a report due so I had to take 1:30 to go to McDonald’s and finish it when it probably would have only taken 45 mins to finish. Also I will say it wasn’t an issue for me but my parents were with us and it did say that direct tv was included and we could not get the tv to work at all and there weren’t any instructions if there was a certain process so I assumed it was disconnected or broken. Again I wasn’t there to watch tv but my parents did not like that. Overall I would visit again if we decided to come back to the UP. We had so much fun and it was well worth the 8hour drive. Maybe we will stay for another night the next time. We definitely could have had another day of activities.

Private and nearly perfect

We enjoyed the privacy and the beautiful sandy beach. The house was in good shape and was decently equipped. A few small improvements and this rental would be absolutely perfect.
