My husband, son and daughter-in-law, 4-year old grandson and 2-year old granddaughter had a wonderful time at Mark and Mary's lovely vacation rental. Their hospitality was gracious and helpful just like Midwesterners are known for, evening offering us vegetables from their garden on the property. The home was spotless, decorating was tasteful and homey with an "out in the country" feel and very well equipped. The big open yard gave our grandchildren space to run and play and the fire pit made for relaxing evenings eating s'mores and connecting with our family. The location was very centralized for the attractions in that area of the U.P. It was within 30 minutes of Mackinac Island ferry, Tahquamenon State Park (which I HIGHLY recommend!), the Deer Ranch in St. Ignace, and many others we didn't have time to explore. We definitely would stay at this home again!
