5br 1 Ba Cottage In The Heart Of St. Ignace

Rustic 125yr old cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect family get away. The kitchen is well equipped and linens and towels are provided. The home has 5 bedrooms & 1 bath. There is a queen bed & private balcony on the upstairs master and a queen bed right off the living room in the downstairs master. There is a gas fireplace in the living room for chilly evenings, a flat screen TV with a dvd player, there are also many games, books and cards for your enjoyment. It has a large yard with lots of room for little ones to play. Look out of your glass enclosed porch with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and watch the ferries shuffle people to Mackinac Island. There is a public boat launch waiting for your boat 300 yards away. The cottage is in a perfect location for access to all the interesting points in the U.P. Only a few blocks I-75 or US-2 and only about a mile from the Mackinac Bridge. You can easily make day trips to Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks or Sault Ste. Marie, but don’t forget about all the happening in St. Ignace itself. Fireworks every Saturday (in season), movies in the park, music on the Bay, wine tasting in town, and so much more.

Quaint Cottage with a BEAUTIFUL View
This property is lovely. It has all of the old charm of a country cottage and the most amazing location. It is very close to downtown St. Ignace and the ferry docks. The view from the upstairs patio was amazing.

Love shack is really a shack
House is a shack. Falling down around you. From the floor leaning to the cracks in the walls and ceilings from the foundation giving away. None of the doors close bc they are not square. 1 inch gaps in each door from left to right. The whole house is leaning. Hope this help the next group.

The location is awesome. The home is a throwback to 1950. If you're looking for a home with modern conveniences, this isn't for you. It worked great as a base home.

Great place
We booked the house for 5 nights and had a great time. It is centrally located so was near the ferry’s, restaurants, shops, etc. There is a grocery store right up the street and a family dollar. The house is old but has a lot of character with a great sun room and deck off an upstairs bedroom. Mark, the owner, is great to work with and very responsive when needed. We will be back next time we make it back to Michigan!

Adult family trip
3 generations taking my parents to cross off one of the few remaining states off the list of ones they’ve not been to. The property manager was so kind and considerate 🥰 he checked in on us to make sure all was well. The home was huge for being built when it was! We had plenty room to roam around. Very well appointed also. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals when we decided to. You could really feel the history and the love that went into this house ❤️. Thank you Mark for making my parents last road trip a memorable one!

Quirky Cottage
The property was easy to find, affordable, and in a good location. The house is old so it definitely has its crooked quirks, but functions well for the purpose. It was well stocked with bedding, towels, and essentials. We were pleasantly surprised with the showers water pressure and no hard water! The yard could use some upkeep from weeds and dog poo. The owner offered the cleaning fee back if we were able to do the cleaning as the typical crew was not available. We didn’t have a problem doing that for a $100 refund, which was quickly refunded through Vrbo. Overall we were happy with the accommodations.

Should be condemned
This shack was nearly crumbling from the foundation to the roof. It had none of the rustic charm advertized. It was rusty, not rustic. It smelled of natural gas and mold. The furniture and beds were probably claimed from dumpster diving. Many of the lights had no bulbs or didn't work at all. We stayed one night and requested some tefund from the host for the other four nights. He refused to reply to our texts.

A Work in Progress
Pros: Nice 2nd floor deck; washer and dryer available; plenty of room, convenient to attractions Cons: Still a work in progress--unlevel floors, doors, that need work, unsightly ceilings, noisy location, limited TV package (no ESPN, CNN, FOX news), needs some paint and cleaning. No A/C

Location made the trip!
My husband, kids and I stayed at this house in June for several days. The area is beautiful, it's so close to everything we were looking for. Downtown St. Ignace was right around the corner, there was a park down the street as well as access to the lake. We love that the grocery story was just up the street as well, that made it very convenient in case we needed to run there for anything. *HINT* If you want any sports balls, go to the Dollar General and purchase it there, ask them to fill it with air at the front desk. Mark (host) was VERY helpful and responded very quickly to my any concerns and questions we may have had. Although, the house had enough beds to host a larger group, the beds were not comfortable. I had mentioned that and several other things to Mark and he assured me that he would be making changes soon. Overall, he was a great host and easy to deal with. The house is very old, so keep that in mind. The floors are uneven, which took some time to get used to. But we didn't spend a ton of time there because we wanted to explore the area daily. So it fit our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill works just fine:) We loved that there was access to a full washer and dryer as well. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and made the most of it. Thanks Mark!

DON'T
When we first arrived and opened the back door we saw the ceiling tiles coming down and it just got worse. The house had not been cleaned so we notified Mark and he had forgotten we were coming. Had to wait for cleaning people to come and then 2 hours for them to get beds changed, etc. Mark did apologize . Front door and balcony door upstairs would not open found that very unsafe, food left in frig and dust and spills on the shelves in frig. Some of the plug outlets were black. I feel that the pictures really misrepresented where we stayed

Outdated pics
Let me say, I wish I could upload some new photos on here. The ceilings were black from the heat, the bathroom tub was so sketchy, the room with twin beds felt like the floor joist had given in, there were huge cracks and holes in the walls upstairs. The kitchen drawer fell off in my hand when I went to get a spoon. There was a huge crack at the back door where old air kept blowing in and the floor was rotten where I assume rain or snow got in. I could go on and on. We have rented numerous times through VRBO. This is the only time we got burnt. We also couldn’t take the trash out because there was no trash can outside. We waited to place it outside when we checked out. We couldn’t earlier because the neighbors giant dog came running up and barking when we would pull up. Just keep looking.

Needs Major Work Done!!
We had reserved this place for four nights on our vacation to St. Ignace and it was so gross we ended up getting a hotel...it was dirty, creepy, and it smelled awful...the oven had burnt cheese on the rack and bottom of oven from previous renters, the bathtub was black from dirt, no a/c so had to leave windows opened and large very loud commercial trucks started going by at 4:30 am, dishes were dirty, electrical wall sockets hanging out of wall, floors slope bad, furniture was very uncomfortable, it smelled like mildew and mold. Needs major repair or as my son says needs to be condemned. Sorry for leaving such a bad review but I want others to know its bad!! Save your money and go to the Breakers Resorts just down the road...plus they have free breakfast!!

Loved it!!
Our family of 7 adults had a great time at this wonderful cottage. If you are looking for a cost effective way to spend time in the UP in a great location for taking day trips to Sault Ste. Marie, Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls and Pictured Rocks, I doubt you'll be disappointed with this property. If you are a group that prefers a $150 plus hotel accommodation over a sufficient room for $75 or less, you'll probably wish you stayed elsewhere. As stated, this is an older home. Yes, the floors are uneven, the doors have a tendency to stay open (which is great for a cross breeze, but they do all stay closed when pushed shut), and there is no air conditioning. Because the windows are open, some of us were awakened by the trucks going down to the loading docks. That's OK...we had places to go and things to see, so we needed to get up and get breakfast going. The beds were comfortable; everyone slept well. The cupboards contained the cooking and serving utensils needed for basic cooking. The place was clean. The front porch and upper balcony were great places to sit back and relax. We'd rent it again in a heartbeat!!

Comfortable.
The initial picture as shown here indicates the best beach in the world - sloping and great for the little ones. Led me to believe this was a part of the view we saw from the cottage. It is not. There are very small beaches near and most of them quite rocky. You need to leave your shoes on to even walk into the water. The house does have very uneven floors but after the first day we didn't even notice. The best part of the vacation were the people in the town. They are incredibly friendly. We enjoyed the small town immensely. The Indian Museum and exhibition was amazing. Since the beach was a large part of what we wanted to do; and in this case required planning, we would pick another location next time.. However, we had a very relaxing, good time. Maybe not what we had thought; but maybe what we needed. Called Mark with a question about wifi (there is none), and he was very quick to respond. The house was clean and comfortable and the kids did enjoy the yard. Michigan is beautiful and welcoming.
