I was going to make the very same comment. This is a mansion where I come from! Lol. This is such a beautiful view. I love to see these landscapes and property tours. Well done Jack. Thanks for sharing.
We love Mackinac Island so much it us our yearly vacation place to go. We were just there last Month and as usual it's such a beautiful place to visit and stay.
Another treat! It's nice that you can keep the historic planning and design a part of it while still inhancing the beauty of the gardens as they are today.
What a beautiful cottage. Thank you for sharing. My favourite is the stone staircase and your brother did an absolutely amazing job. The two of you are a powerhouse. Your parents must be very proud. 🇨🇦🌼
Thanks Jack! I have been going to Mackinac Island for about 50 years,and we always bike up to Stonecliff and then bike through the Annex on the way back to town.I always look at that pool and dream, but wondered what the back of the house looked like,so thanks.We usually stay at Main Street Inn in the summer for a week but this year we are also going to make it up the first of October for our anniversary. Love your videos but please stop! Now I have been inspired and have about 6 Tuff Stuff and Tiny Tuff stuff Hydrangeas,Quick fire and various Hostas etc to put in and that won’t even make a dent🙄😎 But it’s a start.Hope to run into you and keep up the AMAZING work!!! Wondering if you know Archie Horn the luggage guy,he’s awesome Todd Wynn Ada Mi
Thank you for another amazing tour . You and your crew do beautiful work. What a wonderful serene place. I just can’t imagine living on such a beautiful island. I live in Tennessee but hope to visit there some day .
Great designs and videos, Jack. I have been a Landscape Architect for 40 years in Wisconsin, and we always go to Mackinac Island for a week in July. We saw you ride by with your team when we were on the boardwalk in front of your Grandmother's residence this year. Love the Iroquis garden and all your work. We plan on trying your Salmon (and cocktail!) You are an inspiration.
A dream come true absolutely magnificent I enjoyed your video the facade is perfection and your gardening as well. I would love love love to be able to see the interior of this mansion
Heaven thanks for this treat. Am watching from way out here in the beautiful tropical island of Saipan. Need to ask you a favor please. Can you tell the photographer to zoom on the flowers you talk about. So, us islanders can associate the names to the plants and be smart from your shows. I personally appreciate your videos. It’s awesome that we can watch and learn and appreciate everything you’ve educating us. The continuous upgrading of the landscape is so beautiful all the time. Thanks to you and your crews. Keep them rolling!!
The house is stunning and the work you did is great! It would look even more spectacular if some of the tall trees and bushes in the back were cut down or trimmed to open up those amazing water views.
I'm in love with the weathered trees that look like they've been there forever. You have created an amazing outdoor room for the cottage along the cliff edge. Beautiful.
I am thrilled when I get a new garden video! Stunning, every time. You've given me so many ideas! How do you keep your lamium so well behaved? Mine grows everywhere!
Gorgeous, looks great ! I love the huge ceramic turtle 🐢! What did y'all plant in b/t the flagstone walkway? Their front and back porch needs your pots with beautiful flowers 😊
I see you use verbena bonariensis, quite a bit. How do you keep it from getting powdery mildew? I'm thinking of replacing mine with meadow rue instead.
What an amazing house. What’s up with calling it a cottage? That must have been quite the job clearing out all of the cedar. You skipped right past the giant turtle. What was it made out of?
It’s fiberglass- it was one of many that island residents bought for a big fundraiser- ~~~ al island homes have always been called “cottages”- regardless of size
Fantastic work! As another commentator mentioned, would appreciate if at least one or two minutes of these videos would identify the plants used, even though you may consider them very well known classics, they may not be familiar to us learners.
The front yard needs a large brick pathway and a large water fountain with some benches and flowers surrounding it, the flower pot alone in the center of the front yard is just being swallowed up by all that real estate and just doesn't look like it goes there, its beautiful but just doesn't look right.
Amazing. But could the camera person point the camera at the area you are talking about instead of the camera staying on you. They do it a little bit but not enough. You will be talking about something in the distance and we can't see it.
I luv watching all your tours but this one left me disappointed. The camera person didn’t catch all the beauty you will speaking of. The viewing was mostly focused on your speaking. I wish more of the home and landscaping was captured. This oldie would have been a goodie to have seen. But ty though for providing a tour of this amazing cottage. ❤️
jacquelinek22 - what video did you watch? Some sections all you hear is his voice as the camera pans to the flowers, planters and view to the Strait - your comments were confusing
I love that you take into account what was there and add your subtle touch to it. You & your team are a treasure to the island. Thank you!
We appreciate that! Thanks!
Love love love that turtle!! 🐢
So beautiful. If that's the "cottage," I would love to see the main house. LOL. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful. Looks more like a mansion than a “cottage” love to see these places
I was going to make the very same comment. This is a mansion where I come from! Lol. This is such a beautiful view. I love to see these landscapes and property tours. Well done Jack. Thanks for sharing.
White house cottage 😄 with these pillars
Your talent for having the vision of these gardens is a rare talent and impressive
We love Mackinac Island so much it us our yearly vacation place to go. We were just there last Month and as usual it's such a beautiful place to visit and stay.
So much fun! Thank you. I love the island's interpretation of "cottage ". Would love the story behind the giant turtle sculptures.
Beautiful... Wonderful job!
Beautiful and peaceful! Jack you have outdone yourself again loved the tour!
Thank you so much
You create the most beautiful stone stairs ever.
Thank you!! It is certainly an element we take a lot of pride in within our installations~
Gosh...if that's a cottage, I live in a kids playhouse =^)
Just Beautiful, you really do a Wonderful job with these properties.!
I love these spaces and I love to hear the history. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautifully done Jack
Another treat! It's nice that you can keep the historic planning and design a part of it while still inhancing the beauty of the gardens as they are today.
I'm absolutely loving these garden tours. So much history and inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Another lovely Barnwell space!
Your stone staircases are amazing.
You did a great job of re-envisioning the space over looking the water! It turned out beautiful!
Such a joy you are! Your compassion! for the Island and landscape.Thank you!
It's simply amazing.
Just gorgeous!! What an absolute privilege to see these gardens!!
What a beautiful cottage. Thank you for sharing. My favourite is the stone staircase and your brother did an absolutely amazing job. The two of you are a powerhouse. Your parents must be very proud. 🇨🇦🌼
Thank you for another enchanting video. Congratulations for your amazing work! Your books are such a delight.
Soooo beautiful.
Another stunner Jack.
Almost heaven, Mackinac Island.
Beautiful! This one reminds me a bit of the “cottages” in Newport, RI. Love these videos! I will so miss these once winter comes. Thanks, Jack!
Wow, what an awesome renovation of the garden. Looks like it was very treacherous working on that slope,etc. You and your brother are very talented. 👍
Beautiful great design
Thanks Jack!

Thank you for another beautiful and inspiring tour. Made my morning coffee taste so much better watching your amazing work.
Just lovely, calming, thoughtful, inspirational, and needed in today's world.
With such beautiful space is difficult imagine something else in place...
Wonderful job congrats 🥳

A stunningly beautiful property! However, that's no "cottage"!😊
Jack You and your team are absolutely amazing!
Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. You never fail, My Friend.😊😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As usual, beautiful stone work and garden design Jack😃
Oh my word!!!! Please more of this!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The house is stunning and the work you did is great! It would look even more spectacular if some of the tall trees and bushes in the back were cut down or trimmed to open up those amazing water views.
I am absolutely loving these tours. I’d love to visit one day and stay at that grand hotel, but until then I’ll live vicariously through your videos.
I am teary-eyed this is so beautiful.
You are truly amazing!
Beautiful and very fortunate family to live there!
I'm in love with the weathered trees that look like they've been there forever. You have created an amazing outdoor room for the cottage along the cliff edge. Beautiful.
Another beautiful gem on Mackinaw Island💚💙💚💙
Totally beautiful 💕
Wow! Looks amazing as always.
Beautiful cottage and grounds.❤️
Spectacular. Would love to see the before and after.
Hey Jack! Love the tours. Keep them coming.
I love the tortoise statue
Cottage is definitely an understatement. But beautiful no matter.
Absolutely gorgeous. I think I would not have a pool tho. It changes the property. Gorgeous, but no pool. Can’t explain it. 🤷🏻♀️
Great work
I think the gate could use some WD40. Spooky. The house is majestic and way beyond beautiful. Thank you,
Ha! I thought the same when we were filming! Made note and it’s been handled!!!
Beautiful
I am thrilled when I get a new garden video! Stunning, every time. You've given me so many ideas! How do you keep your lamium so well behaved? Mine grows everywhere!
Gorgeous, looks great ! I love the huge ceramic turtle 🐢!
What did y'all plant in b/t the flagstone walkway?
Their front and back porch needs your pots with beautiful flowers 😊
Beautiful property but I think I would have to put a fence in at the bluff, it was giving me the fear of heights for you.
What a beautiful design. How long did it take from beginning to end? Your brother is equally a talent.
Another beautiful video!!
Nice work as always
Magical😃😁
Thats a mansion Jack
Love it !!!
What you folks call a cottage is a mansion to me.
Jack, are those English yews behind the small flower bed with the lilies?
Columnar arborvitae
What are the white flowering bushes around the circle entrance to this amazing home?
Potentilla
I see you use verbena bonariensis, quite a bit. How do you keep it from getting powdery mildew? I'm thinking of replacing mine with meadow rue instead.
What an amazing house. What’s up with calling it a cottage? That must have been quite the job clearing out all of the cedar. You skipped right past the giant turtle. What was it made out of?
It’s fiberglass- it was one of many that island residents bought for a big fundraiser-
~~~ al island homes have always been called “cottages”- regardless of size
Looks like somewhere in Greece.
❤🌿
Fantastic work! As another commentator mentioned, would appreciate if at least one or two minutes of these videos would identify the plants used, even though you may consider them very well known classics, they may not be familiar to us learners.
It looks like a Villa. Probably because of that Greek thing (arch?) in front of the house. Whithout it it's a normal house, but not a cottage.
The front yard needs a large brick pathway and a large water fountain with some benches and flowers surrounding it, the flower pot alone in the center of the front yard is just being swallowed up by all that real estate and just doesn't look like it goes there, its beautiful but just doesn't look right.
Amazing. But could the camera person point the camera at the area you are talking about instead of the camera staying on you. They do it a little bit but not enough. You will be talking about something in the distance and we can't see it.
Yes- we are making changes in filming style
Oh, my
Are there deer or rabbits on the island?
A few deer, tons of rabbits!!
Cottage?
I wanna know what 6 ppl are miserable and unhappy in life that they would give this tour a thumbs down?!😁
Cottage, huh? Haha
I luv watching all your tours but this one left me disappointed. The camera person didn’t catch all the beauty you will speaking of. The viewing was mostly focused on your speaking. I wish more of the home and landscaping was captured. This oldie would have been a goodie to have seen.

Boy hate to see what would happen if you lost your balance on one of those tiers.... too dangerous gor my likes.
The hand waving and hand smacking is really unnecessary. Stop shaking your hands
You’re so talented. May you come to know Jesus Christ if you don’t. Read God’s word.
Beautiful
