Summary: Our family had an amazing stay at the "lighthouse" lake home as my kids called it :). The home was well maintained and beautiful. The house is right on the beach which is all sand and shallow for a long ways out making it perfect for our kids. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy Mackinaw City area!
