We had cabin 4. Very cute but extremely rustic. My husband had been up there with friends in the…read morespring and they were in a newer more modern cabin and loved it. It was our anniversary and we were looking for a quiet get away so he made reservations for our stay. In our cabin, the door would not open all the way without pushing hard as it dragged on the floor. There were two bedrooms and both had antique beds with antique, rock hard, squeaky, saggy, uncomfortable mattresses. The entire cabin had a musty smell/stink to it. The paint was peeling in spots, especially in the bathroom which contained a rusty metal towel rack on the back of the door. I didn't expect the ritz but I expected at least a comfortable updated bed. Overall I'm not sure I'd go there again unless I could be in a newer cabin.

The cabins are simple and the pictures on their web are accurate to what you might expect. Guests…read moreneed to bring towels and all paper products (tp too). The location was ok. The water by the piers is shallow and grassy. The price is decent. Last I looked their prices just went up a little. You really need a week on the island to figure everything out. Next year I expect things will go much easier.

We're at the beginning of our second stay here and I can't say enough about how much my entire…read morefamily and I love this place. These little cottages are perfect for a family stay for a week or five (I wish). It's a beautiful spot right in the middle of the Les Cheneaux Islands and you have a beautiful view of the water from inside your cottage and on the deck. There' a boat dock where you are free to keep your boat if you bring one, or you can just fish off the end like some of the little kids have been doing this week. They have a makeshift little beach area with about six plastic Adirondack chairs and I'm telling you, these kids staying here can't get enough of that sand. Right next to that area they have five kayaks ready to go- my cousins and I take full advantage of these every time we stay. Every cottage's deck has some of their own Adirondack chairs which we take from one to the other since we stay in two cottages right next to each other for the week. There's also a charcoal grill at each one which, again, we take full advantage of throughout the week. There's a fire pit off to the side of the cottages which I a great way to spend the evenings. Inside the cottages- fully stocked with dishes, towels, blankets, etc. There's free wifi and cable in each one. Plenty of outlets if you're worried about charging electronics or if you (like my mom) will be working at any point during your stay. The kitchen has a fridge, freezer, stove, oven, and microwave- so everything you could need to make any meal you desire. The owners of this place are incredible. Kirstin an Jason are two of nicest people we've met and they really care about everyone here and making sure you enjoy your stay. They live in a house right on the same property so they're almost always around. Both of them drop in periodically to make sure you're enjoying your time and that there's nothing you need from them. They own the North Coast Company in Hessel now which is an ice cream, fudge, and coffee shop inside the showroom of E.J. Mertaugh Boat Works. This was the first Chris Craft dealership in America, for those of you who enjoy boats. This part of Michigan is simply incredible. It's beautiful and quiet with plenty of outdoor activity going on. You're only a little bit away from Mackinac Island, the Soo Locks in Sault Ste Marie, and Tahquamenon Fall- all excellent day trips during your stay. I would highly recommend staying at Ford's Cottages to anyone. You jut can't go wrong here!

We stayed in a really cool room: massive vaulted ceiling with logs on top. Multiple beds, including a loft bed. However, the beds are a bit firm and older... They did the trick for a quick stay. No complaints. I will also say: We stayed when the majority of the place was booked by a wedding party, who were... let's say, slightly antsy and angry. One gentleman decided the best way to start his day was to bark at us because he didn't like where one of our group parked. We loved the grounds. The dock out back has some of the best small mouth bass fishing we've experienced is decades. We pulled a 4 lb lunker off the lake (catch and release). All the cabins looks like they might be in better shape than the actual lodge, but we didn't see inside them. I'm just saying keep your mind open. It's a cool place and worthy of your stay.
