Gorgeous and comfortable - great for groups big and small

Our group of 6 adults & 4 kids had a fabulous time here! This place has a wonderful layout & very functional space. It was a great place to merge our multiple families. We agreed it would be a comfortable space for groups big and small. The host was a delight to work with! And the home was very clean and had great details too - ample dishes, good back stock of ingredients, high quality seating and bedding. Plus the outdoor space was amazing with a fire pit, extra chairs & endless adventures for kids and adults. We will definitely be back and would love to see each season from this place!

A very nice property

This is a well-maintained, well-equipped cottage in a good location with proximity to Mackinaw sites. Stacey is an excellent communicator and provided very detailed and helpful information at several times during the booking and check-in and check-out steps. The pictures don't do it justice, especially outside - the beach area is excellent. Highly recommended.

Beachfront

We enjoyed walks along the beach and the trail across the road. Halfway between Cheboygan and Mackinaw so everything is close. Beautiful view of the Grand Hotel in the island and Mackinaw Bridge. Perfect location. The house is plenty of space for a large group and is well appointed. Great stay.

Beutiful views!

Great beach house with wonderful lakefront views and Mackinac bridge views. Very comfortable, both living area and beds were very comfy... great place to unwind, and a short trip to the ferry...although, we would recommend paying the $4 to cross the bridge to St Ignace, and get on the ferry there... much quicker, no lines!

Beach house

Wow! This house is the perfect getaway. It has everything: gorgeous views, location, entertainment, and comfort. This is our favorite vacation rental by far! The host is also the most responsive and courteous. She even messaged about the ferry tickets being on sale so we could save $$. This is definitely the place to stay in Michigan on Lake Huron. We absolutely loved it!

The house is huge and beautiful. It is very clean and the views are amazing. Very relaxing. There were days we all just wanted to lay around the house. The house if very large to where you aren't on top of each other. Plenty of room and things to do.

Birthday Getaway 2024

My husband and I had a wonderful stay, home was easy to find I had hurt my ankle the night before arriving and was on crutches. The house was handicap friendly thank goodness since I was on crutches, it was very clean and welcoming. The view from the back deck area was just beautiful this would be a great place to come back and visit late summer early fall for us. Home is in a great location you are just minutes away from all the tourist activities but still far enough away for peace and quiet which we all need every once in awhile. I highly recommend staying here Stacey was very helpful and very informative with all the info we needed to know to help make our stay flawless. Thank you Stacey and family for sharing your beautiful home with my family for my birthday getaway stay.

Cozy and fun winter getaway

We enjoyed a fun winter weekend in Cheboygan and ventured to the UP for a couple of hikes, as well as Cheboygan State Park. Even without much snow, we had a great time. House is well-maintained and great for a group! We loved how we could see the Mac Bridge from the lakeshore.

Christmas Vacation 2023

Couldn’t have been better!! The property was exactly as described! The communication with the host was great from beginning to end. This was our first destination Christmas holiday with our adult children and their spouses and we even brought the grandmas along! We were able to cook meals together, enjoyed family time on the beach with a bonfire on Christmas Day, hiked local trails accessible right across the street from the property. Even though it was not something we needed, I was impressed with the fully accessible handicapped style shower/bathroom. The special touches throughout the home made a lasting impression including the welcome basket on the kitchen counter when we arrived. Already looking for dates for our next stay!

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Milner

Host profile image
Nathan and Stacey welcome you to Island View Shores! In the summer of 2017, while back in Michigan visiting family, we stumbled upon this home after three years of searching for the perfect getaway. We knew instantly the setting this home is in was one of a kind. The mature trees, calming sound of Lake Huron, majestic views of the Straits, Mackinac Bridge, and Mackinac Island provide tranquility that we fell in love with. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and that Island View Shores MI will provide you with a getaway to make life lasting memories year after year. Welcome to your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

The backyard and private beach is a hidden gem! The view of the Mighty Mack never gets old!

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for some space to get away, this is your place! You are close to both Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Cheboygan, and easy day trips to the UP to see the Falls. But this home provides you with enough fun for a quiet getaway to relax or with a house brimming with laughter and little ones needing to burn off energy. You'll love the spacious backyard with plenty of beach for everyone!
