St. Ignace, MI family vacation

Eagle’s Nest is a beautiful property. Everything the listing promised. Well stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor seating, enough Kayaks/Paddle boards to allow the family to enjoy the lake together. The location is soo peaceful and close enough to the beaches and Mackinac ferry and other places to visit while in the UP. My family loved our week at this house and highly recommend it!

Nice Quiet Getaway

We spent a few days at this property in the middle of September. The weather was beautiful and allowed us to explore Mackinaw Island, the Soo Locks, and a few other sights. Our kids also enjoyed swimming in the lake, which was shallow and sandy, allowing even our younger children to enjoy the water safely. Overall a great place with lots of room and very quite and easy to get to. Thank you!

An Eagle's Nest retreat

Our crew wanted to get together so the cousins could spend the holiday together, and the adults wanted to do the Labor Day bridge walk. Eagle's Nest was the perfect escape from our realities and the perfect place for young cousins to make memories together. Thank you for sharing such a gem!

Great U P family getaway

We have stayed in many VRBO homes with our extended family through the years and this was certainly one of the best. The bedrooms were perfect for families, the dining tables both inside and on the deck were large with plenty of seating and overall this was the best equipped house we've ever rented. Being on a very nice inland lake but yet so close to Lake Michigan beaches was fantastic. It is an excellent location to explore all the great spots of the eastern and central U P. I highly recommend this lovely log home.

Superb Vacation at Eagles Nest

Great home for a U.P. family vacation. Excellent lake with shallow swimming and recreation for young kids (and awesome sunsets). Nice personal touches by owners. Short distances to Mackinac Island and Lake Michigan Beach off Route 2. We took nice side trips to Tahquamenon Falls and a Manistique River canoe trip (where we did not see another soul for 10 miles). One of our favorite home rentals ever.

Beautiful spacious log cabin!

We had a great time during our one week stay in this beautiful spacious cabin. The property was very clean and everything was very well organized. Having access to the lake with a canoe and paddle boat made our trip that much more enjoyable. No detail was left out of the instructions we received prior to our stay and we would highly recommend this wonderful cabin to others. Thank you Dennis for everything!

This property is the perfect northern Michigan lake house!

We had an incredible long weekend at Eagles Nest. The property has all the comforts of home and is fully stocked for all your needs. Dennis was very responsive and beyond accommodating. The lake is quiet and serene and the lakeside fire pit is perfect for gathering around with family. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy the unplugged beauty of northern Michigan!

Great weekend away, beautiful home

We rented this home for a long weekend away with extended family and it was great. The home has lots of space to relax, has everything you need to entertain including lots of movies and games, fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. Check in and check was super easy and the owners were quick to respond to any questions. The home had Great Lake access and lots of outdoor equipment to use. I recommend this property for a nice relaxing vacation close enough to town for all your needs, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing.

Family Reunion

Rented the Eagles Nest and another property down the street for a family get together. Cabin is tastefully decorated, apportioned nicely and well supplied. Was the perfect place for my family and relatives. Lots of movies, games, and water toys to keep the children entertained. Of course they loved the ducks too. Highly recommended. Discussing making the Eagles Nest an annual trip for my immediate family.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis Matson

Host profile image
My family has rented this home several times; each and every time we visited it was a memorable family experience. Vividly I can picture my children jumping off the dock for a swim or sitting in a boat fishing with my dad. When the time came in our lives to purchase our own lake home we were very fortunate to purchase Eagles Nest. Our intent is to make each and every guest feel as if they were truly a guest in our home. We intend to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere with plenty of amenities to make your visit perfect. We want each guest to have there own memories of a great vacation.

Why they chose this property

There are so many things to see and do in this area. Pictured rocks, Tahquemenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Mackinaw Island, Thunder Falls water park, casino, snowmobiling, skiing, Lake Michigan. Most of all, I love the lake. Brevort Lake is an all sports lake with great fishing, boating and touring.

What makes this property unique

Whether sitting on the deck in the morning and drinking coffee or in front of the fireplace in the evening this home is all about relaxation. Watch as the bald eagle often flies over, ducks come in for visits, we see plenty of deer and at night listen for the call of the loons on the lake.. The house is decorated for a comfortable feel to all who visit. When trails are open you can can ride a snowmobile or ATV through hundreds of miles of trails. Take the loop ride around the lake to 123, go to Trout lake for lunch and head back through the woods to Brevort Lake Campground and back home.
