Great Getaway
Loved the little log home away from home. It was the perfect location and Mary Lynn was just wonderful. It was so beautiful, so peaceful and so quiet. Tucked away in a beautiful area. Would highly recommend staying here. If we are back this way and need a place to stay this will be number one on our list.

GREAT LAKES INTRODUCTION
This property was the greatest. The home was clean, roomy, all the necessities of home were supplied. The host was phenomenon, she provided us with activites in the area, and tasty places to eat. Not to mention the banana bread upon arrival. She even had a golf cart for us to use to site see along Lake Michigan which is at her back door. Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. Great for 2 people! She even had a golf cart for our use

A Retreat in Paradise!
Mary Lynn is an A* host! She is warm and welcoming. I came as a stranger and left as a friend. Her cozy, log cabin is minutes away from the Mackinaw bridge and downtown St Ignace, yet you feel like you are in your own personal paradise. Her property is encircled by trees and punctuated with her gorgeous gardens. It was the perfect creative backdrop for my personal writing retreat and I have no doubt I will be back!

Anniversary Trip 💕
Mary Lynn is by far the best host I have ever booked with! Great communication and truly thoughtful, she made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend getaway to Mackinaw Island. The homemade banana bread and access to her golf cart were added bonuses! We highly recommend this beautiful log cabin!

Rest in middle of our road trip
This apartment was ideal for us. All amenities were outstanding. Quiet location with a lakeshore walk just a block away. The hostess lived in the town all her life and gave great tips on places to eat and visit. Beautiful gardens. Washer/dryer. We are pleased to rate all aspects 5 stars.

Very Accommodating!
The property was beautiful! The landscaping was impressive and lovely. The private apartment attached to the home was very clean and inviting. The host had fresh flowers from her property waiting, local fudge, and fresh bread. She was kind, informative, and helpful. We had a wonderful and relaxing experience!!

A Lovely Place
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here! The property and suite have a unique rustic feel, while still offering all the comforts you need. The suite is clean and well-maintained. Mary Lynn did an excellent job making sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. The suite is well-stocked (even with things we didn't expect like suitcase racks and a slow cooker). She left little extra touches as well; local treats and fresh cut flowers. She left lots of information about attractions and things to do in the area. Overall, we had an amazing weekend staying here and heartily recommend!

Cute slice of paradise!
We were immediately greeted by the property owner who made us feel very special and cared for. She offered her golf cart for a beautiful ride along the Lake Michigan shore. There were special treats and flowers waiting for us when we went in. Very inviting and well cared for property. Loved our visit and hope to come back again.

Michigan road trip
My husband and I stayed here for a quick visit to mackinac Island. I wish we could've stayed longer. It was such a cute and quiet place. Not to mention Mary Lynn is great. When my husband and I were pulling out of the drive we both said that felt like staying at a family members place. Would totally recommend. And I hope we get a chance to go back someday.
