5br 1 Ba Cottage In The Heart Of St. Ignace

Rustic 125yr old cottage. This cozy cottage is the perfect family get away. The kitchen is well equipped and linens and towels are provided. The home has 5 bedrooms & 1 bath. There is a queen bed & private balcony on the upstairs master and a queen bed right off the living room in the downstairs master. There is a gas fireplace in the living room for chilly evenings, a flat screen TV with a dvd player, there are also many games, books and cards for your enjoyment. It has a large yard with lots of room for little ones to play. Look out of your glass enclosed porch with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and watch the ferries shuffle people to Mackinac Island. There is a public boat launch waiting for your boat 300 yards away. The cottage is in a perfect location for access to all the interesting points in the U.P. Only a few blocks I-75 or US-2 and only about a mile from the Mackinac Bridge. You can easily make day trips to Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks or Sault Ste. Marie, but don’t forget about all the happening in St. Ignace itself. Fireworks every Saturday (in season), movies in the park, music on the Bay, wine tasting in town, and so much more.

Quaint Cottage with a BEAUTIFUL View
This property is lovely. It has all of the old charm of a country cottage and the most amazing location. It is very close to downtown St. Ignace and the ferry docks. The view from the upstairs patio was amazing.

Quirky with a great location
Five adults travelling with two devices each could not find enough outlets to charge everything without negotiation. Not all the bedrooms had lighting. Those with lighting didn't have enough bulbs. We fixed that, because, we were seniors, light is imperative. None of the floors were level. If you are unsteady on your feet, this place is not for you. Remember we were five seniors. We loved the location and laughed about all the quirks, because we felt the rent was fair for the level of accommodation offered.

Love Shack
The location is awesome. The home is a throwback to 1950. If you're looking for a home with modern conveniences, this isn't for you. It worked great as a base home.

Overall clean, but a hole in the wall.
The cottage was cleaned well, but leaked everywhere in the rain. Water came down the walls and through the back door that you could see lots of daylight through. Walls were warped from water damage. Whole house leaned due to foundation issues floors extremely uneven. Our 17 month old often fell due to how uneven the floors were.

Love shack is really a shack
House is a shack. Falling down around you. From the floor leaning to the cracks in the walls and ceilings from the foundation giving away. None of the doors close bc they are not square. 1 inch gaps in each door from left to right. The whole house is leaning. Hope this help the next group.

Great place
We booked the house for 5 nights and had a great time. It is centrally located so was near the ferry’s, restaurants, shops, etc. There is a grocery store right up the street and a family dollar. The house is old but has a lot of character with a great sun room and deck off an upstairs bedroom. Mark, the owner, is great to work with and very responsive when needed. We will be back next time we make it back to Michigan!

Cheap, Convenient and Clean Enough
It was a great location and it was cheap BUT... You are greeted by a door that can not be opened fully because the floor is warped. There are 1/2 inch cracks between doors and windows. We were amazed the place was not overrun with bugs and mice but it was not. One room had only one electrical outlet and 3 extension cords were used to connect to a bedside lamp. All fixes to the house were done poorly. Ceiling tiles are hanging down. Again, it was cheap and convenient.

Adult family trip
3 generations taking my parents to cross off one of the few remaining states off the list of ones they’ve not been to. The property manager was so kind and considerate 🥰 he checked in on us to make sure all was well. The home was huge for being built when it was! We had plenty room to roam around. Very well appointed also. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals when we decided to. You could really feel the history and the love that went into this house ❤️. Thank you Mark for making my parents last road trip a memorable one!

Not as it Seems
People pay a mortgage payment or more for vacay. They want a place that's better than home, this is not. True, this is a 125yr old home, but one that has a serious foundation problem. There's things the owners could do to make better, like caulk, shim, fix the roof and ceilings. No AC, but only one ceiling fan, have stationary fans, but not enough. Soot on walls from furnace. It could use freshening up. Location is right by municipal building, trucks start out at 5:30am. So if you think you're going to sleep in, think again. True, it is a good center for getting around the area. Neighbors dog runs loose and craps in the yard. We made the best of it. I wouldn't suggest for people who aren't stable standing or walking, floors are very sloped because of foundation.

Quirky Cottage
The property was easy to find, affordable, and in a good location. The house is old so it definitely has its crooked quirks, but functions well for the purpose. It was well stocked with bedding, towels, and essentials. We were pleasantly surprised with the showers water pressure and no hard water! The yard could use some upkeep from weeds and dog poo. The owner offered the cleaning fee back if we were able to do the cleaning as the typical crew was not available. We didn’t have a problem doing that for a $100 refund, which was quickly refunded through Vrbo. Overall we were happy with the accommodations.

Should be condemned
This shack was nearly crumbling from the foundation to the roof. It had none of the rustic charm advertized. It was rusty, not rustic. It smelled of natural gas and mold. The furniture and beds were probably claimed from dumpster diving. Many of the lights had no bulbs or didn't work at all. We stayed one night and requested some tefund from the host for the other four nights. He refused to reply to our texts.
