Beachfront Cabin on Straits of Mackinac

Our home is located right on the Straits of Mackinac. With scenic views of Mackinac Island, the Mackinac Bridge and the freighters passing, it is the most relaxing getaway. We are located just over a mile away from one of the ferry lines that take you to Mackinac Island and walking distance from the Lumber Jack show. We are right on the water so you have your own beach. The house also come with free access to a local waterpark and discounts to local restaurants.

Perfect Stay
Don’t know what the other reviews are talking about saying they grass isn’t mowed. The yard looks clean and well trimmed as well as the house. The trees provided perfect privacy from the neighbors when sitting on the beach. The owner provided several amenities and was a great help. overall perfect stay

Convenient Mackinaw Respite
Stayed for the first night of a 3 day tour of Northern Michigan. Enjoyable view of the bridge at night with a firepit on shore. Just a couple minutes outside downtown Mackinaw on a quiet residential street.

Would not recommend. Poorly kept property. VERY strong natural gas odor. Neglected!!!!
No communication from host. Reached out 4 times before Jodi responded. Overpriced-bath door doesn’t close, no fans, urine odor, broken screens, broken outside furniture, hole in flooring, hole in walls, no ceiling fans in common area, furniture is dilapidated. Grass is overgrown and so many bugs as a result. Wastebasket in kitchen instead of trash can. Could go on and on. Don’t recommend!

A night stay..
Curb appeal, the house needs work. Inside the garage has a gas smell that is very strong in the morning. The windows all need to be updated. Only 4 windows open in the home and on a hot humid day, the house is unbareable as there isnt any air conditioning. Only fans in the home are the 2 ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Also, the stove needs a good cleaning and the dryer door doesnt shut. Overall, can see they have done some updates in the home just needs quite bit more. The neighborhood is peaceful and the view of the bridge and lake huron is beautiful.

Needs VRBO Review
House was dirty. Grass needed cutting. Gaps in windows allowed bugs in. Seems to me VRBO should do a better job screening this property, as it does not meet standards of other rentals we have booked.

Relaxing!
We enjoyed our stay! The location is definitely 5 stars! What to know: the house could use some updates, but there have been some since the pictures have been posted so I think Jodi is working on them! There was no grime or anything as mentioned in other posts. Everything was clean! We enjoyed our night with a fire by Lake Huron - there’s firewood right down the road and some plastic patio chairs. The grass has been recently mowed. No a/c. We were comfortable with windows open and bedroom fans going. We would definitely stay again!

Our stay at house
We rented the house for memorial weekend my family and I. The location where the house is located is great , close to everything. However, when we checked in the house was very very I mean very dirty. I hate to write a bad review on anything but I will say that the house need deep cleaning. My sister and I spend couple hours cleaning and vacuuming the inside and outside of the house from the spider webs and dead bugs that were all over the garage door , summer room and around the windows. The house is great but needs to be cleaned and sprayed with bugs spray before anyone checks in. Please make sure to get bugs spray and cleaning supplies if your consider renting the house for your trip.

Host did come out next day to clean some things (not all), and the windows and screens remained broken. Did not stay second night ! Should have read other reviews

Beautiful Mackinaw City, WOW view, yikes accommodations
Unfortunately the house and yard combo here is just meh at best. The owner is known in the neighborhood for not caring about this property…right on Lake Huron. The grass had not been mowed in several weeks and looked embarrassing right next to many beautiful spots lining the shore. I am not sure why they would not take more pride in their home city, a beautiful place in our home country, and mow your lawn (among other things) so guests coming in enjoy it more. Whoever we communicated with was kind and accommodating, and I suspect they are not directly responsible for the lack of care for the property. Nice spot on Lake Huron, temper expectations though.

Total Rip Off. VRBO must shut down.
Fraud. Bait and switch. Gives VRBO a bad reputation. Owners totally misrepresent this place. Doesnt meet occupancy codes because the windows in bedrooms dont open, there is no functional door on the half bath, the sliding doors don't lock, etc. In addition, place is not clean, towels were not provided, no A/C & WINDOWS DO NOT OPEN!!! etc., etc. I politely reached out to property manager but received no response. So that tells me they plan to continue their fraud.

Not satisfactory
Tons of deferred maintenance. Burned out lightbulbs, main entrance to house through the garage with lightbulb out over steps, light above sink in main bath didn’t work. Hot and cold water was reversed in half bath. Vertical blinds at patio door half busted out. No towel bar in half bath. Washer in half bath kept door from closing, 12 inch gap. Bad rust stain in bathtub from leaky faucet. Exterior photo was not sent to us even though we asked for it prior to arrival.

Great view that’s it/ beware must read about stay!!!
Pull into house grass knee high! Limbs hanging from tree that need to be cut, so you don’t hit your head when you get out of car. Walk into garage door is full of spider webs and bugs!!! Garage full of old house items. Floors in house haven’t been sweep in I don’t know how long!!! Hair dust bunny’s !!! Try to open windows in house, due to no air conditioning most of the window cranks so old they are broke,or screens have holes. Walk out to looks a view of the lake and bridge witch were beautiful!! In the closed porch area, half the screens are gone and have holes in them. Yes I’m not done yet, let move to couch in living room, that is also a pull out bed!!! It is so broke down that you couldn’t sit on it and to sleep on it was so bad that my son that is 11 fell thur it!!! The two back bedrooms weren’t to bad but again can’t open windows. Try to contact owner no answer!!!! Only good review I will give this place is that the view was beautiful. Would have been better if we could have sat out side but the grass was so high you couldn’t!!! You would think someone with a lake front house and this view would take better care of there property!!! My family travels all over and use VRBO for are stay and have never had so many problems with a property or owner!!! Wish we could get something back from this owner!!! Or even a phone cal at least!!! Wish reviews from prior stays before us were posted before we booked!!!

Help me help you - do NOT book this property!
Mackinaw City itself is beautiful; this house is an embarrassment to the area. There are reasons the host provides no outside photos of the home. The gutters are falling off and overall is completely dilapidated. The door you enter through garage is broken. There are old appliances in the garage that actually prohibit you from being able to park inside even though it is listed as an amenity. Upon entering the home we discovered it was filthy. While the listing claims they utilize cleaning personnel, and in fact charge a cleaning fee, there was dust and cobwebs everywhere, the dishes were disgusting, tracks of windows and doors were so bug-filled they hardly closed, and visible handprints and grim on the walls. Inside what we are assuming is a never-cleaned oven was a used pan. While there are two rooms with toilets, only one has a door that closes because of a disproportionately sized washing machine. In the main bathroom the toilet paper dispenser remains broken as seen in a previously posted review. The ancient shower faucet allows you to either scald or freeze. There were lightbulbs out and multiple holes in the wall in the sunroom. It should not be listed as having more than 2 queen beds because the pull-out couch is missing so many springs it should come with a warning. What little communication we did receive was INCREDIBLY rude & did not resolve any of the issues brought up except the cleaning of the oven, but I imagine the cleaners were uttery exhausted after that job
