About this property

Carter's Getaway Drummond Island vacation rental

Drummond Island is comprised of 87,000 acres, 150 miles of rugged scenic shoreline, 133 square miles of forested landscape, and 34 inland lakes. Within this diverse habitat, a number of rare species, land formations and plants can be found. Drummond Island and its surrounding waters offer a wide mix of land forms to explore. Getting to most of them is easy; getting to some of them has been described as gut-wrenching. The second largest island in the Great Lakes of Michigan, Drummond is located a short ferry ride from the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula. Therefore, the Island is a relatively easy place to visit for your own natural history adventure. The local attitude toward visitors, “Come often, play nicely,” has paid off in the protection of a wide range of unique public places for you to explore. It is no secret among Anglers that Drummond Island “is” The Gem of the Huron. The waters are as diverse as the fish, aquatic and other types of water wildlife. From it’s pristine clear blue waters and rocky shorelines to underwater shoals and reefs, sand and gravel substrates and vast weed beds, combined with shallow soft bottom flats creates a true Mecca of opportunity to experience fishing at it’s best. This area truly is God’s country. The peace and serenity you will find will have you longing for a return visit to this outdoor paradise. Bring the family and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Relaxation with a view
Quiet, relaxing, and beautiful views. Home was nice and cozy. Had a couple warm days and no air-conditioning but kept it closed off during the day and it cooled off at night. If we ever visit Drummond Island again, I would love to stay here again.

Peaceful getaway
Wonderful week on Drummond Island! Very comfortable house with great view of water, spectacular sunrises, and waterfowl. So relaxing sitting on deck listening to lapping of water and chirping of birds. The kitchen is well stocked, beds comfy, and plenty of hot water for showers. Rooms are all on one level which was a plus for our senior knees! This is a special find and we hope to return next year!

Jeep trail riding trip
Upon arrival the house was not cleaned, but was quickly resolved as the house keeper was confused on the day of our arrival. She was very kind and friendly and felt terrible about the situation. The house otherwise was great and was just what we needed for our stay for our little jeep trip!

Jeep club excursion
Very peaceful and calming. The early morning coffee on the deck is so peaceful. A nice breeze in the late evening causes wave noise against the shore is so settling. Sherry is a perfect host for the property along with River. will be booking again for our next stay on the island. Thank you for letting us invade your space and hopefully we were peaceful neighbors for our short stay with you and yours. BK

Awesome
Loved the property manager, Sherry, and her dog River Rose. The house was awesome and the views couldn’t have gotten any better. The only drawback was the steepish slope to the water and all the rocks. I would definitely stay here, again and again. Thank you so much Sherry for making us feel comfortable and welcomed and for the owners of the property for opening up for others to enjoy.

Fantastic place to stay!
I can not say enough great things about this place! The communication with the owner and property manager was great and timely. The house is so much bigger than what the pictures show. Beautiful sunrises. Sherry was a hoot and so helpful! I will definitely be renting this place every time we come to the island! Excellent job with it! I would add a shower curtain or a blind in the bathroom though but that's just me. Beautiful bathroom though too

Summer Vacation
Carters Place is lovely. It is very clean and comfortable. The view is great. I recommend that you bring sandals or water shoes to wear in the water, the entire coastline is ver rocky. The property manager is right next door if you need anything and she is very nice.

Would stay again
The property was great!! We've stayed at quite a few places on Drummond and would rate this one higher on the scale. The views were beautiful and the sound of the waves were amazing. The property manager was extremely nice and very accommodating. The house was super clean, had tons of linens, and was very well stocked. The deck was large and would accommodate a good size group. We didn't use the fire pit, but it was down by the water and, weather permitting, would've been perfect. The view was amazing out the large window & slider, and the sound of the waves were relaxing.The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable. We saw a lot of deer, loons, and many other kinds of birds. I loved the fact that each room had its own thermostat. We stayed in the master bedroom and it was huge. The bathroom was big, had 2 sinks and a large, beautiful walk in shower. The bed was very comfortable, there was a box fan in the closet (for us that like to sleep with fans!), and it also had a beautiful view of the water. We stayed as a group of 3 couples. We came to the island to go Jeeping. There was plenty of parking for all 3 vehicles and trailers. This place was a little further from the trails, but it was no problem for us. We drove the jeeps to the trails. Overall we would definitely stay here again! *Bring ice....ice maker does not work. *just an fyi to the owners....needs a new "non stick" pan in the kitchen. Everything else was absolutely perfect!! Thank you.

Great time on Drummond
Home was right on the bay and very clean. Had everything we needed, even the neighborhood chicken visiting. We grilled, had a bonfire. Cards and games included. Weather was beautiful, saw loons and an eagle. We would definitely rent again if we return to Drummond.

Perfect spot on Lake Huron
Very nicely located house. In 2018, we booked this house the first time and that’s why we chose it again. The owner made a lot of investments and it eas even better this time. Great view on Lake Huron and on sunrise in the morning.
