Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It worked well for us. Felt secluded and a little rustic. The lake/water brings many bugs and also plenty of wildlife such as various birds, a duck family, and swans. Fenced in gazebo worked well. 10 min to Mackinaw City. Owners were very responsive.Really nice sunrises and sunsets can be seen when near the water.Very good for us.
