Bluff Beach Hutch Stay
We truly enjoyed this property! We stayed at the Bluff Beach Hutch. The home is huge, had a wonderful view of the water and a beach just a few steps away, with privacy! The home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed plus more. The owners were fantastic! We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Porch Views
The view from the living room windows is gorgeous! The porch view is even better, it’s by far the best part of the house. It’s very private and relaxing. You walk right off the porch to the sand and water. We had 4 kids with us and you could watch them play from multiple views with ease which made them happy and the adults! The homeowners were very accommodating and answered the few questions we had very quickly. One issue with a tub drain was immediately taken care of and they even offered a way for us to watch a MLB game we couldn’t get locally.We loved St. Ignace and the close trip to Mackinaw city and Mackinaw island. There are several restaurants and ice cream shops close by. This was on of the most relaxing and enjoyable trips we’ve taken with our family and friends in a long time we will go back!!

Peaceful Retreat
We enjoyed the beach hut with our family including many children. The home was clean and in order. The distance from the home & deck to the beach & lake was a dream. It’s an amazing location. The children spent a lot of time in the lake and walked to many sand bars. Thank you for this experience.

Our vacation at the Beach Hutch
Everything about this vacation was great. The place was even nicer than I could have hoped it would be. There was plenty of room and the deck and the beach were amazing. The location was good, it was easy to get around to see some of the sites. We had a wonderful little vacation. Thank you so much!

Great Family Retreat!
Phenomenal views, well equipped home, good beach, nice owners to deal with, attractive natural barriers from road and neighbors. Only slight negative is proximity to a major highway with traffic 24/7, but we’d go again.

Second time we have stayed there. Love this home. Gorgeous view! Love sitting in the sunroom and looking out over Lake Michigan! Enjoy seeing the freighters go by. Home has lots of space. Everything you need in the kitchen to make meals. Had a great time taking the 2 kayaks out. Can go far enough that you can see the Mackinac Bridge.

Great Place, Great Location!
This place was very spacious and accommodated two families very easy. Great seating area outside on the deck for dinners and to view the lake and sun sets. Beach was very clean with some rocks along the shore but once you got out 10-15 feet was all sand. House had all amenities in kitchen and most windows had screens and could be open to feel the breeze off the water on the hot days. The house sits back from the road and has plenty of trees in the front which helps with the busy highway noise and is very private from both neighbors on each side. The included kayaks were a great addition and paddling in the bay early mornings and evenings was fantastic. Highly recommend this place and is at a ideal location to visit attractions like the Mystery Spot, GarLyn Zoo, Tahquamenon Falls, Downtown St. Ignace and Mackinac Island.

loved the property and location. Unfortunately, due to Covid and Rain many of the on site amenities we were looking forward to were not available. Also, late in the season that many attractions were closed. Hoping to make it back to the Beach Hutch again and get the full experience!

Incredible!!
This property was stunning! Although there were restrictions as far as bedding goes, (we brought our own bedding due to Covid-19) the experience was more than great. We were able to have plentiful use of the beach and kayaked out to a great view of the Mackinac bridge! Everything in the house was perfectly labeled and was easy use! Our family had a great time and already planning to come back next year!

Too many rules,
The house was great, but there were signs posted everywhere telling you rules for everything! The water is terrible. There are rules about how we need to add vinegar to the dishwasher and if you didn’t comply you would be charged extra if dishes were not clean to their standards! Also the windows in the room overlooking the lake were so streaky we had to wash them in order to view the lake.We took care of the house and left it in good, condition but all the regulations are ridiculous,

Wonderful Stay
The pictures and information about this property is 100% accurate. We truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped and very large. The home has a great open concept, very clean, large TV, comfy beds, great water pressure, etc. Plenty of indoor games and floaties, kayaks, etc for outside activities. However, the yellow and gray bathroom could use a slight update and you can hear some traffic noise coming off of US 2, but the sound and view of Lake Michigan from the beautiful sun room more than makes up for it. We all slept well. Michelle was a gem to communicate with. We will definitely rent this place again. Thanks Michelle for a wonderful stay.
