Everything was great. Beautiful, quiet, relaxing. No issues at all. This was our second time staying here and will definitely be back. Host is awesome and super friendly.
Short drive from all the sightseeing spots on the island. The cabin was clean and the view was spectacular! We very much enjoyed our stay! Family friendly vacation spot with a secluded serene cabin we loved it.
We had an amazing time at Tacheâs Retreat. The house accommodated our kids, two spouses, and a grandson well. It was so comfortable with most everything you need. And the spot on the beach was beautiful and perfect. We were so grateful to be able to stay here, and Rick was so responsive and helpful.
The grandkids had such a great time exploring and skipping rocks along the shore line! The sunsets couldnât have been more beautiful. The cabin was spacious, well equipped with essentials and nicely decorated to give it that âup northâ feel. Rick was very helpful, suggesting restaurants and areas of interest that the grandkids would likely enjoy.
My wife and I ended our 50th wedding anniversary Michigan trip, here on the lake. The cabin, right on the water's edge, is amazing and the view of the western sky made for some breathtaking sunsets. Even during a nighttime, rainy thunderstorm, mother nature provided a super lightening show on the horizon. Rick was very responsive and a great host.
The home and location were absolutely fabulous! Everything was perfect and as described. Rick was great to work with and super accommodating. Couldn't have asked for a better host. We will definitely be back. Beautiful and peaceful location. Beautiful and well equipped home. We were not lacking anything that we needed.
A perfect getaway from the bustle of busy city life. Gorgeous sunsets/moonrises and quiet peaceful lounging by the lake. Setting out early in the morning for deer viewing was a favorite activity.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The cabin was in a great location, views were amazing, and Rick was the ultimate host. Any questions we had were answered in a prompt, friendly and welcoming way. From the moment you walk in the door it just feels like âhomeâ. Everything you need for an enjoyable, relaxing vacation you will find at this property. The island is a real âmust seeâ. Locals are so friendly and welcoming and there are several great spots for dinner. We spent many hours relaxing on the deck at waters edge just steps from the front door. You wonât be disappointed booking this beautiful property - just leave a week or two available for us because we will be returning next year. Thanks so much for the Drummond memories and sharing your slice of Paradise with us.
We liked the location which is isolated and fronts a bay. IT is not too far from grocery and gas stations. There are great views, multiple decks to sit on. House is large and has plenty of room and is nicely furnished. Beds are comfortable. Comes fully furnished which is great. Very relaxing stay! It has a deck by the water but not a dock. We kept our boat at a nearby marina.
Cabin was great for our family...loved the 2 bathrooms, the dock to relax by the water, and the screened in porch. The location was perfect...close to Four Corners and the ferry.
The view off the deck was so relaxing and beautiful sunsets. The stone pathway into the water was very helpful. Iâm always up early so listening to the loons, watching the deer playing near the water or hearing the roosters at sunrise. It so peaceful,quiet and zen! If you have Verizon except Canada/International charges not good coverage at all on the island. Att seems to be what locals use. I bring this up because the cabin has good WiFi but you leave itâs spotty. When you turn off main road towards cabin follow to end Turn Left not right, then first right . Google lady had us all over the place. We loved the cabin was big enough for 7 adults. I did bring to air mattress because I wasnât sure of loft futon/couch. Itâs a couch! We moved things around put air mattress up there. If anyone has mobility issues bring bath mat for shower and thereâs a high front step.There was plenty of cookware and dishes. The view from the living room and screen porch were great. Plenty of seating outside. The gas fire ring on the deck and the fire pit amongst the rocks made for great sâmore. The house was basically clean but needs a âspring â clean on elk antlers and things that donât get dusted every week. Rick responded quickly to all my questions. We would definitely return to your cabin.
Quick 5 min drive to gas/groceries/restaurants and beautiful view from living room and decks. Owner was very quick to reply to questions and was very helpful!
This is an amazing cabin. Beautifully decorated, everything and anything you needed was there. The views are breathtaking. Drummond Island is well worth the trip, so laid back and just island life. Rick made sure everything was perfect for us. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.
We love coming to DI! This is our second year staying at this house and plan to stay again next year. Itâs a gorgeous house, great location, and Rick is a wonderful host.
We spent a long weekend at this home. The view is stunning! The home is clean and well maintained. We had 6 adults and 3 dogs and there was plenty of room with each couple having their own bedroom. We took side by sides and spent a full day exploring. We enjoyed the local restaurants (we never had a bad meal or poor service). We saw plenty of wildlife including a mink and a fox. Communication with the owner was always prompt not to mention helpful and courteous. We were there in late March and it was so quiet and peaceful. We felt almost as if we had the whole island to ourselves. Would love to return some time in the future.
An excellent setting and environment/owner easily accessible/auto-coffee pot was not working but the owner promised to replace it before the next renters.
Loved our visit. Had a small issue with a miscommunication with the cleaning staff, but it was quickly resolved. Wonderful communication with the owner. We will be back!
I built Island Retreat in 2000 with the help of a very accomplished local contractor. I enjoy being there whenever possible. I live with my daughters in Traverse City, Mi., about three hours from Drummond. I am an Ann Arbor native, a big sports fan and nature lover.
