August 11, 2025One of my preferred airports. The FBO (the Bailey family) is extremely fine and helpful. The paved runway and grass strip (tightly mowed) are in good shape, set amidst a golf course. The feeling at this small airport is similar to that of Drummond Island - calm and welcoming.

November 28, 2023Good 3 day trip for my wife and me. We brought our TR182 in from San Antonio, TX via St. Ignace since we had never been here and we're looking for property since its quite inexpensive on this island. Mr. James Bailey took fine care of us. Kinda amusing seeing an auto shop also run the only FBO. But James and his son were wonderful! $10 municipal tie down fee per night and if you want to rent a car from the Bailey's they offer cars for $50 per day. We'll back!!
