About this property

Paradise Chalet on Paradise Lake

PARADISE CHALET - Adorable new year 'round rental on Paradise Lake - sleeps 6 and has nice Paradise Lake access with a cabana and a dock. It comes with 2 bikes and 2 kayaks.

This is a newer lakefront property with sunset views over beautiful Paradise Lake. Cross the country lane to a private beachfront on a sandy bottom lake with cabana and "L" shaped dock. Bring your water toys but we have 2 kayaks for your use. Paradise is a great fishing Lake so bring your poles; some fishing tackle is available on site. Paradise Chalet is located just minutes from Mackinaw City and the ferries to Mackinac Island but offers you a private and peaceful retreat to return to. It's nestled in a quiet cove and surrounded by forest.

This spotless cottage is light and airy with lots of windows and amazing views of Paradise Lake. It offers everything you need to enjoy your vacation - just bring your groceries! The master bedroom adjoins the bathroom on the main floor and has a queen sized bed. The upstairs loft has 2 queen beds. The main floor has an open design with living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a very large deck drenched in sun which faces the lake. The cottage features central air, a new washer/dryer, DISH satellite, WIFI and a water treatment system to remove that 'country water' that so many cottages have. We also offer 2 bikes for your use.

The location is so perfect to enjoy Northern Michigan. Situated minutes from Mackinaw City, the Mackinac Bridge, St. Ignace (the gateway to the Upper Peninsula) Cheboygan, the beautiful Inland Waterway, Les Cheneaux Islands, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Good Hart, and Charlevoix - the list goes on and on! The fall colors are unbeatable and there are lots of opportunities for viewing them. Organized bike rides, road races for runners and winery and brewery tours are very popular. Golf, fish, boat, swim, ski, hike, bike, antiquing, casinos, winery/brewery tours. What's your pleasure?

If you love biking, the North Western State Trail can be accessed through Carp Lake and passes through many communities along the way, including Conway, Oden, Ponshewaing, Brutus, Pellston, Van, and Levering. In 2018, the scenic route was recognized with a National Recreation Trail designation.

The spring and fall are great for bird watching - especially the hawk migration in early spring. We've personally witnessed it and it takes your breath away to see the hundreds of raptors circling the sky to make their annual crossing of the Straits of Mackinac.

Join us as guests and make this a memorable vacation spot that you will want to return to over and over again!



*We have opted to offer Damage Insurance at the cost of $55 for your stay in lieu of a refundable security deposit. It will be listed under fees as "Damage Insurance".

*WILDLIFE DISCLAIMER*

Coming to beautiful Northern Michigan includes the possibility of wildlife encounters. We have midges, spiders, mosquitos, occasionally black flies and an assortment of other insects. We spray regularly to keep them at a manageble level but we also don't want to damage the fragile ecosystem here. Note that where there is water, there will be spiders. They are very industrious and can build back a knocked down web within a day!
They are also great for controlling mosquitos and wasps, which we appreciate.

We treasure the wildness of the North and perhaps that is what attracts you.

Consider yourself lucky if you catch a glimpse of any of our other wild neighbors - black bear, wolves, deer, elk, coyote, fox, bobcats, porcupine, skunks, raccoons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and mice as well as a massive variety of birds.

We ask you to consider this before booking one of our cottages or cabins.

The presence of wildlife is part of the experience here and does not warrant a refund.

Great place

This is a great little property if you want to stay close to Mackinac city but not in town. The house was just as the picture showed it access to the lake is right across the road. The property is perfect location to go any direction. We will definitely consider this for our trip next year.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and a great location. Not that far of a drive to restaurants and shopping. Loved the fact there is a lake across the road from the property. It was a little chilly so we weren’t able to take the kayaks out but it’s good to know that they are accessible for better weather. Would definitely stay again.

We cant wait to come back!

My BF and I had an amazing vacation celebrating our 2 1/2 years. We love kayaking and biking so this place was great for us. The scenery is surreal. It’s super close to Mackinaw Island where we spent most of our time. I would recommend stopping at a walmart before you get there, the closest one is about 30 minutes away. The owner responded quickly, she was awesome. We are so excited to come back in the future.

This was such a wonderful peaceful setting! We loved hanging out at the dock, kayaking, swimming and floating in the lake. We were there over the 4th of July weekend and couldn't believe how quiet the lake was. We rented a pontoon and enjoyed tubing. It was nice to see the fireworks from our dock too. The place is well equipped. Camping chairs, patio furniture, well stocked kitchen. There was also plenty of shampoo. Just bring a pump for the bike tires as there are two very nice bikes but only one with tires with air. The pump was broken. We would definitely stay here again. Beautiful empty beach on Lake Michigan near by along with quick access to everything Mackinaw.
