Waterfront home on Lake Michigan with views of St Helena Island Lighthouse
This is a two bedroom home located on the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan. This house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but private, with only one house close next door. The deck and back yard facing the waterfront. All amenities including WiFi, washer/dryer, full kitchen stocked with basic dishes, 12 cup coffee pot, toaster, air conditioning (in season will be installed in windows) and small portable tabletop charcoal grill are available.

The beach here is rocky, but water accessible for kayaks and swimming; water shoes are recommended. Sandy dunes are located approximately 5 miles west of the house, for all day sunbathing and swimming. Located within 5 miles of Mackinac Island Ferry Boats, many restaurants and tourist shopping. Also, close to hiking trails and snowmobile trails.
We enjoyed this surprisingly spacious, comfortably appointed home with stunning lake view. Very clean house and yard (with swing set.) We had a lakeside campfire our last night using the fire ring and camp chairs provided. It was a chilly weekend but the cottage was cozy warm with heated tile bathroom floor. Cool feature! Great reclining tub that our son-in-law soaked his legs in after running a race on Mackinac Island. Easy 9-11 min. drive into St. Ignace to the ferry and church, a pizza run and firewood. Big screen TV. Very attentive hosts. Lovely, quiet lake neighborhood street. Very safe and just far enough off the main road. We loved it!
My first VRBO experience and I am afraid to try it again anywhere else. The standard here was set extremely high! What a perfect property for us to call home while in town for the weekend for a corvette show. Clean, well equipped, quiet, and absolutely STUNNING views and location! Thank you so much. Just arrived home and I already want to pack again and come back up! We appreciated your place very much! i guarantee we will be back!
Beautiful view of the lake and bridge right outside the back door! Beautiful update home with everything you need for a peaceful base and short drives to local attractions. Loved it!
it was a very nice place plenty of room for us great view of the Mackinac Bridge surprised they didn't have a picture of that on there thing it was me and the wife two of her friends and then the grandkids plenty of room for all of us would recommend it to anyone
Spectacular views of the lake & lighthouse, coupled with a clean, cozy house on a lightly traveled road! We loved staying here and lol forward to coming back in the future.
The house has an amazing view, super great location. It is in a quiet neighborhood. We have stayed here multiple times and look forward to our vacation here each time. thank you!!
What a beautiful place to stay! There were gorgeous sunsets to the west and a view of the bridge to the east! Itâs pretty close to many places and still feels secluded. We had plenty of room to move around in and on the property and felt very comfortable there. If we go up that way again we would definitely consider this property!
The place was very clean and cozy. The view was amazing , being right on the lake . It was close to the Mackinac ferry. They paid great detail with all of the amenities. We definitely would return!
Felt like home. We really did not want to go home. Hearing the waves crash outside every night was priceless. Sunsets were incredible. We will be back but this time we will fly so we can spend more time at the property. Thank you Nicole we loved the property.
This was a beautiful little cottage on the water. If you are looking for peaceful sounds of the water lapping the shore while you drink your morning coffee this is a perfect spot. From the cottage you have views of the Mackinaw bridge and the light house on St. Helena Island.
This cottage was everything the were looking for clean comfortable. The back porch was a dream. Right on the lake amazing views. You just felt at home. We will definitely be back.
Our Host Nicole was the BEST! She went over and above at making our trip prefect, very helpful and friendly. The views from the cottage are breath taking. The cottage is clean and comfortable and equipped with everything that you need. The fireplace pit is right on the water front where you can watch the amazing sunsets. We will for sure be staying there again.
Visited recently with my family and we couldn't have picked a better location. The view from the home was stunning. We enjoyed slow mornings watching the waves and I witnessed the most magnificent sunset. We definitely plan on visiting again!!
