About this property
Cecil Bay Family Cottage
This is a super cozy cabin! Two minute walk to the beach.
Newly remodeled 3 bedroom/1 bath cottage near Wilderness State Park and 5 minute walk to Cecil Bay beach. Large family cottage with beds for 7. Bike to Wilderness Park; walk to Cecil Bay ( a beautiful sandy beach); hike the trails at Wilderness State Park; drive 5 minutes to get to the Headlands Sky Park; large yard for the kids and nice, big firepit for evening campfires. The cottage contains a washer/dryer for you use. It also has a nice cozy fireplace; expansive family room; games, puzzles - perfect location for 1 or 2 families to share. The property is located steps away from Carp River which is great for fishing.
*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.
