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.

Great time

My husband and I along with his sister and her husband came to celebrate all of our 10 year wedding anniversaries. It was an amazing get away with many laughs. The cabin was perfect. Very clean, well stocked and plenty of space.

Drummond Island Lake Home

We love Drummond Island and we loved this home. it was as described, very clean, nice beds. We enjoyed the quiet, the stars and the loons on the lake. We went ATVing on the island, hiking and riding the backroads. We enjoyed dining at Northwood Restaurant and Esthers which are nearby. Drummond Island is a great place for those who want to get away from civilization and enjoy the outdoors. Carter's Getaway is a great place to stay.

Carter’s Getaway

Wonderful place! The property manager was great. We really enjoyed the visits from River the yellow lab. As a family of dog lovers with labs ourselves she made our whole visit special. Would definitely visit again.

Just perfect

Carter’s Getaway was the perfect home base for our annual girls’ trip! The house was spacious, cozy, clean and comfy, close to the ferry dock but also so quiet and peaceful. We loved being right on the water. While there we were treated to the most incredible northern lights display, which we watched from the dock while loons called in the distance - pure magic. The property manager, Sherry, was very responsive and so warm and welcoming (as was her sweetheart of a dog, River Rose!). Would absolutely recommend, and hope to return again.

Awesome

Our family has a house on Drummond Island, However there is not enough room for everyone. We found this house and it was close to the other. We found it to be very spacious and clean. My husband and 2 of our grandchildren stayed, wish I had added a couple other family members. The view was great, got some good pictures of the Buck moon and some of the sunrises. It was a nice get away spot. Hope to come back another time.

Home Away From Home

This is our 3rd stay at Carter’s. We feel like it’s our home away from home. We love everything about the house, the area, and the neighbors. Can’t wait for next year!

What a great sunrise view

This was our first trip to Drummond Island. The car ferry as part of the journey to Drummond was cool. The house was close to the water and had an amazing sunrise view. We had everything you could ask for in the house. There was plenty of space, kitchen supplies, towels, etc. There was working wifi, but depending on the cell carrier the cell service may be limited. My cell phone rarely worked, but I could make wifi calls and send wifi text (whatsapp). We brought paddle boards and each day we had an opportunity to paddleboard around the cove to the right. We enjoyed our time at this vacation rental and will rebook if we return to the area.

Fam vacation 2024

We could not have asked for a better vacation. The cabin/house had everything we needed and was very clean. We booked here wanting a peaceful laidback vacation and it definitely was. Quiet area around the home not hundreds of people sitting around a shoreline. Just what we wanted. The island itself was very peaceful during our stay. We came along way so we were in a passenger car which makes getting to some places on the island not possible but there are side by side rentals for those that don’t bring their own and want to go explore. Such a beautiful area and could not have asked for anywhere better for vacation. We enjoyed nights sitting around the table playing cards and board games that were available. Overall great vacation! The weather was great! We came back home to 110 heat indexes and already miss Michigan temps.

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.
