I hate to share the secret of how wonderful this place is, but this is such a gorgeous location. You are DIRECTLY on the water! The house is very large, cozy and comfortable, like being in your own home. Beautiful living room with sofas and easy chairs for relaxing, plus a fireplace too! There is a big dining-room table for eating and playing games in front of huge lake-view windows, along with a very large well-stocked kitchen with everything you might need for cooking. You will save a ton of money if you cook a few meals there. We even found a blender for smoothies! Everything was extremely clean and well cared-for. I could imagine this large comfortable house being perfect for families with children. Even in stormy weather this location would be gorgeous and cozy and fun! Pristine new washer and dryer is such a nice bonus for travelers, along with two separate showers and plenty of hot water. Extra beach towels are provided. The whole place is decorated with cute lake/boating themes, and the owner is extremely friendly and so helpful too. We are already planning to go back! Still seeing this beautiful spot in my dreams. Lovely and quiet and peaceful surroundings, a place to make memories. Also an easy drive to the St. Ignace ferries for Mackinac Island (that is if you can bear to tear yourself away from the serene beauty of St. Martin's Bay :) Far more beautiful location than the pictures convey.
