The original VRBO listing for Mackinac Island that is actually “on” Mackinac Island!!! Part of VRBO’s Premier Partner program since its inception. Watch out for those listings that come up that they are on the island, but actually located in Mackinaw City. This is due to the small radius of the area and VRBO not realizing this.

A great place to take a minute to slow down, enjoy the view and be at peace. Jen is a gracious host and the condo is well suited for a fabulous time on a throwback island of quiet, a more personal view with the counterpoint of the horses clopping , this is a fine place to see the Island from

Great location, generally nice

We enjoyed our stay very much. A couple of things would have made the experience in the condo more enjoyable. I would suggest removing some of the very large decorative items to make more room for comfortable seating for conversation and lounging. Although sleeping for six, really only one couch for two or three in a squeeze to sit and converse or even watch television. This is important for the required month long stay. Remove the large ( useless) table under the television and add a comfortable reading chair. Bedside tables or at least reading lights. Clear instructions about garbage, not just link to city site. Where do you put it, does it go to curb on a certain day? Overall very nice.

Island Home

Love the location. Unit is just as shown and owner is so personable and made my long awaited dream of being an island ‘resident’ come true even if for just a short time! Jen has made sure that her home is stocked with anything you might need during your stay and reaches out regularly to make sure your experience on the island is the best it can be. I’ve been coming to the island for decades but being able to stay here for a month has let me experience the magic of this island in a whole different way. Already have future reservations and can’t wait to come back!!

Month long stay

We had an outstanding time on the Island for the entire month of October! The location is superb, enjoyed the clip/clops of the horses as well as the buoy on the lake, ducks & geese, and the occasional freighter passing by. Jen was a super host. The “towny bikes” that come with the unit needed repairs & Jen was quick to get them fixed.

Amazing Experience

My husband and I spent the month of January in Jen’s beautiful condo, and our oldest granddaughter came up to spend a few days as well. It had been on my bucket list to spend some time on the island during the winter, and it was a truly amazing experience. The condo was wonderful, very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. The only thing I regret was that it was too cold to enjoy the balcony facing the water, haha. Would be wonderful to sip your morning coffee out there. Any time I had a question or concern Jen answered my texts quickly, and she texted me a few times to see how things were going so communication was absolutely top notch. Our time passed so quickly, we hated to leave. I would encourage anyone to choose Jen’s condo, Heroes Retreat, for their Mackinac Island vacation. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect vacation

Our month long stay on Mackinac was wonderful. The condo was clean and had everything you could possible need. If we had any questions, Jen was quick to respond. She gave us many points of interest we didn’t know about, even though we had been coming to the Island for years. The location was ideal. Not too far from downtown, but far enough to have less traffic. Our trip to Heroes Retreat is filled with a lifetime of memories.

A Most Spectacular Place to Stay!

I rented this wonderful condo for the month of June (2018), and had the most amazing time on Mackinac Island! It felt welcoming the minute I walked in, had all the comforts of home, and was just perfect for me and my guests. Charming and clean, with a great view from the balcony, it was exciting to watch the sleepy island awaken with activity each day! And located near Mission Point with only a short walk into town, it offered the perfect balance for quiet reflection (as the horses clip-clopped by), or immersion into the small town feel of historic Mackinac. It was a very healing experience for me! Jen was the most pleasant and considerate owner, checking in every once in a while to see if there was anything that she could do to make my stay more enjoyable! She also informed me about the activities and happenings on the island while I was there. Thank you, Jen, for sharing your beautiful island getaway...I definitely plan to return to this lovely place!

Slice of Heaven

We stayed at Heroes Retreat in May 2018. We found Jen’s condo to be perfect for the two of us and our friends as they came to visit during the month we were there. The condo has everything you would need for a month long stay, plus it is so peacefully located on the island. Close enough but not to close. Thank you Jen for your quick response to our questions and for the crockpot 😃😃 I’m sure other guests will also enjoy that. Mackinac Island is a dream come true.

Best vacation in years! The condo is in a perfect location, and beautifully decorated.

One month of heaven😊 The beauty of Mackinac Island is amazing. Everywhere you look is colorful. The ability to walk for hours in either the State Park trails or just strolling the East and West Bluff streets taking photos of the historical mansions is a definite plus. The sounds of the horses and buoys at night provides a very relaxing atmosphere.

Best Month Ever!!

I spent the month of October 2016 in this wonderful condo. It was even better than I imagined. It was so nice that it was hard to come back home to reality! The condo was like a home away from home. I was able to rest and relax while staying up-to-date on my work during the month due to the wireless internet access. Everything you need is provided in the fully-stocked kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Two bikes are provided for guests (I brought my own and stored it out back which allowed my visitors to use the ones provided). It was a great deal and I didn't have to worry about a thing thanks to the thoughtfulness of the owner (she even texted me to wish me happy birthday while I was there)! I would highly recommend the property and am grateful for the opportunity to rent it. I am hoping to make a return trip in the future! In my opinion the condo is perfectly located on the edge of the main tourist area. You are close enough to head downtown to grab a bite to eat or hang out at the library but far enough away that most of the day trippers don't venture that far out. I met some wonderful people and made many great memories. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who would love to experience a getaway to wonderful Mackinac Island! Do it---you won't regret it!

A home away from home

I have been coming to the island for many years, and for some time had been looking for a place for an extended stay. I am so glad I found this great condo. I was really sad to leave, because by the end of the month, it felt like home. The location was perfect, and the neighbors were very friendly. The listing is accurate. The owners have really made an effort to make you feel at home. A couple of the things I really appreciated were the internet access and the bikes. I took the girl's bike for several rides, and I really appreciated the big basket for hauling my groceries as well as my backpack. I had some questions during my stay, and the owner was only a text away - very convenient. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone. One of my favorite things to do on the island is to hike the trails. Being there in May, I got to see a lot of the spring flowers out in the woods that I had always been missing when I came in June or July. The tulips and daffodils all over town were beautiful as well. The temperature went from cold (winter coats) the first week - to warm (high 60's) by Memorial Day. One big advantage to May is that you avoid the crowds of summer. Sometimes you feel like you have the place to yourself! I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and I will definitely stay here again!

A great property which met our expectations perfectly

A beautiful, well-kept condo which really contributed to our fantastic experience on Mackinac Island. The Third floor unit (elevator access) had a balcony which provided a wonderful view. All the amenities of the island, including the island grocery, library, restaurants and pubs were within walking (or bicycling) distance and enabled us to be right in the middle of all the activities of this magical place. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Vacation

This is a great unit in an excellent location. If you have the time to spend a month on Mackinac this is an outstanding choice. The unit is well maintained, very secure, has nice furnishings and a good view of the main road on the island. You also have a partial lake view from your small secluded balcony. The condo is directly across the street from Mission Church and only a block or two from St. Anne's, Mission Point, the Butterfly House etc. It's an easy walk/bicycle ride to the many shops, ferry docks and restaurants in the heart of town. It is also just far enough away from all those shops to let you get away from all those tourists. That's one of the nice things about staying for a month, you start feeling like you belong there. You get to know the people and places in a way that you can't do in a one or two day visit. One of our favorite things to do was an early morning bike ride around the island followed by breakfast at the Chuckwagon. We travel a lot and believe that Mackinac is a very special and unique vacation.

My sister and I spent the month of October on the island and had a terrific time. Perfect time of year to explore the island and avoid all of the tourists. The weather was a little inclimate, but we made the best of it. We ended up entering and completing the Great Turtle Half Marathon, quite an accomplishment for two non-runners. The condo was the perfect location, and just the right size for the two of us. Can't wait to go back in 2015.

Enchanting Island, Enchanting home, thanks for sharing.

Last year my family and were lucky enough to spend the month of July on the island, this year, the month of August, all in your home. How lucky are we? Thank you so much for sharing your piece of Mackinac Island with us. I love the location, being close to the restaurant at Mission Point is great. I also love the short distance from downtown so when we have those days we want to get away from all those day trippers we can. I absolutely love being street side in your condo ,being able to look out the big window and hearing the klipty klop of the horses are a few of my favorite things. Your home is so clean , which makes it so inviting, cozy, and comfortable. The well laid out granite kitchen is everything one would need. This year we really enjoyed the added TV and wifi, just more comforts of home. I would highly recommend this property to all my friends and family. Thanks again for sharing.

The condo was perfect for our celebration. We came up for the month of October to celebrate three milestones in our lives. Dick retired in February from a position he held for 37 years. We celebrated our 40 anniversary while on the Island and Dick's better half will "celebrate" a milestone birthday in November. We have always loved the island and decided we would look for a place to spend an extended period there. This condo was our answer. The location is great. Other residents in the building are very friendly and helpful and the condo itself is very comfortable and we LOVED it! Out two children came up one weekend and this made the time there even more special. We recommend this condo and would definitely come back.
