About this property

Lake Front Cottage on Douglas Lake Near Petoskey, Pellston, Levering & Mackinaw

Douglas Lake is a beautiful, quiet lake. You will truly find Harmony here.The University of Michigan owns much of the land surrounding the lake so it is not overly populated. It is excellent for swimming and fishing (perch, bass, pike).

The cottage includes two bedrooms, one with twin beds, the other with a full size bed, a full bathroom, kitchen area, and living/dining space. The living room couch folds out into a full size bed. You are responsible for providing your own linens and towels. The front area has a large outside deck, yard with campfire pit and a long dock with an adjacent sun deck attached which is perfect for sunbathing. A canoe is available for your use or you can bring your own boat or rent one from a nearby marina. Trailer parking is available.

The area has wonderful restaurants, including the Douglas Lake Steakhouse just a minutes’ walk away; golf courses and shopping are also nearby.

This is a non-smoking cottage and no pets are allowed. Due to space constraints we allow only four people to rent at a time.

We are from Michigan and have a cabin on the island. We love the quiet and solitude of Douglas Lake

Why they chose this property

Our family have had residences on the island for decades. With the University of Michigan Biology Station owning 40 percent of the shoreline the lake is very pristine.

What makes this property unique

Cozy cabin on the water.
