Home was very clean and at a beautiful location on Drummond Island. Everything we needed, and then some. Amazing view from the deck and right on the water, in a very quiet neighborhood. Property Manager was very nice and check-in/out was easy. Loved the Island and will be back again for sure!
Canât say enough wonderful things about this place! Loved every minute. Excellent spot right on a calm, beautiful bay! Enjoyed the deck, sunrises, meals in, the water, campfires. Will be back!
We love carters getaway. Weâve stayed 4 times now. We love the location of the house and the comfort. However, this year the firepit was a big inconvenience and quite hazardous. Getting down to the water and dock are a little tricky for children as wellâŠI would imagine older people would also have a hard time accessing it which is a bummer.
Goal play gold in all 50 states. Michigan was our final state and we played the Rock on Drummond Island! House was awesome and loved the Northwood restaurant.
The home is lovely and well taken care of. There wasnât anything that we needed that wasnât available. The shoreline is very rocky so pack your water shoes! We had an amazing time!
We enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the primary bath shower. Home was VERY well equipped. Fire pit was challenging but pretty to look at. Beach view was beautiful but we didnât go in the water. Overall we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying there.
The house was very clean and well kept and very accommodating for the five of us. We were on Drummond Island to go on our annual fishing charter weekend.
My husband and I along with his sister and her husband came to celebrate all of our 10 year wedding anniversaries. It was an amazing get away with many laughs. The cabin was perfect. Very clean, well stocked and plenty of space.
We love Drummond Island and we loved this home. it was as described, very clean, nice beds. We enjoyed the quiet, the stars and the loons on the lake. We went ATVing on the island, hiking and riding the backroads. We enjoyed dining at Northwood Restaurant and Esthers which are nearby. Drummond Island is a great place for those who want to get away from civilization and enjoy the outdoors. Carter's Getaway is a great place to stay.
Wonderful place! The property manager was great. We really enjoyed the visits from River the yellow lab. As a family of dog lovers with labs ourselves she made our whole visit special. Would definitely visit again.
Carterâs Getaway was the perfect home base for our annual girlsâ trip! The house was spacious, cozy, clean and comfy, close to the ferry dock but also so quiet and peaceful. We loved being right on the water. While there we were treated to the most incredible northern lights display, which we watched from the dock while loons called in the distance - pure magic. The property manager, Sherry, was very responsive and so warm and welcoming (as was her sweetheart of a dog, River Rose!). Would absolutely recommend, and hope to return again.
