Cottage a Hessel

“This house was perfect for our family trip. The house was meticulous, clean, well organized, and had everything we needed to make our family vacation a blast. It was on its own private beach on Lake Michigan, beautiful sunset and sunrises lots of wildlife to be seen and only 10 to 15 minutes away from the port to Mackinaw. We felt like we were staying at a friends house as the host was extremely considerate to his guests, having very nice soaps, shampoos, and even left us a festive table...

“Home is comfortable and very clean. Kitchen is nicely stocked, appliances all in good working order. Conveniently located close to grocery store and restaurants. Owner friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.”

“My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this site. The view of Lake Huron was beautiful. The lake is RIGHT THERE! No steep steps required to get to the water. The house interior has a rustic homey vibe that we just loved. It reminded us of my parents' home. The house was very clean and comfortable. While we were there, we saw a large eagle in a nearby tree. It was visible from the front window. It was perched in a nearby tree for 20 minutes and then flew off. We also met the next-door...

“Overall we greatly enjoyed our time here. However, there were a few issues. First, the freezer melted our ice cream. Second, we were basically told "good luck" about using the oven, which would have been nice to know before we bought groceries. Third, the heat had already been turned off for the season and it was COLD at night. Thankfully some of the beds had heaters, which was great. The fireplace downstairs is just for looks/ambience. It provided no heat to the room when on. There were only 3...

“Enjoyed the cottage. Right on a small bay looking into Lake Michigan/Straits of Mackinac”

“We had a great stay!”

“So much better than staying in a local hotel! There is absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Thank you for your hospitality!”

“Enjoyed everything”

“Great stay in a great little cabin close to everything! Awesome location close to mackinaw city, the island and Cheboygan but still felt like a trip away from everyone else without being in a hotel along with all the other weekenders.”

“Really cute place love the view and the location”

“Family time in the fall. Everthing we needed.”

“The property was perfect for a weeks stay. It was clean, comfortable with a great location.”

“Great property and responsive owner (I really appreciated that). We had minor challenge with tv. Also, suggestion: the bathroom could use more light and the shower would benefit from a safety bar.”

“We had a blast this past week. The cabin had the perfect up north feel! The trees between the properties offered a lot of privacy and shade. We brought the boat up, and everyone had such a great time at the dune/sandbar (which has a rope swing that the kids played on for hours.) The adults enjoyed beverages in the sun playing water games. Our 10 year old caught hundreds of perch throughout the weekend. The only minor downfall was how shallow the lake is bringing the boat back up which another...

“Nice place to relax”

“Excellent location with excellent view of the bridge, right on the water and steps away from the McGulpin Point’s lighthouse. I was able to walk the Mackinac Bridge and walk the 2 miles back to the cottage. Lovely cottage, only negatives was the steep steps down to the water and only having one bathroom.”

“The house was exactly what we expected close to everything we wanted to do. We would stay again in the future”

“The home was beautifully decorated (e.g., stained glass window in the shower, green & pink kitchen, exposed logs in great room, unadvertised fire pit in back, plus outdoor dining & BBQ) & thoughtfully equipped. One oddity: the sole bathroom is accessible only from a bedroom. The prop managers could be more precise in their instructions & more open to communications. Not a deal breaker, just irksome. I would recommend this property to others & stay again myself with a small enough party.”

“Short stay. Impressive property. Great for large groups.”

“Wonderful place. Very clean. Stocked with everything necessary. Would come back again. Very peaceful and relaxing.”

“Beautiful cabin on a lovely lake. Quiet, clean,well-equipped and a great view from the deck.”
