About this property

Cozy Cottage on Peaceful Paradise Lake

A small, cozy, lakefront cottage is ready to be your perfect, peaceful retreat just 7 miles south of Mackinaw City. The original knotty pine walls add to the charm of this cottage built in the early 1940s. Updates have been made to the technology (TV & WiFi), bathroom, and kitchen to make your stay convenient and comfortable.

The lake is shallow, refreshing and clear! If you’re an angler- ask about a spot at our dock! Use our kayaks or float toys to connect with water or play in the large yard. There is lots of room to play or lots of ways to rest, including chairs and a hammock. If you’re a cook, there is no better dinner than the one you can cook outside on the grill and eat at the lakeside picnic table. At night, the fire pit is the best place to share stories and watch for the northern lights!

Hope to see you soon!

Perfect getaway for small group

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Carp Lake. The setting was excellent, and being less than 15 minutes from Mackinaw made it a perfect location. Good for two couples.

This cabin was a perfect place for me and my sons! We wanted to spend the weekend fishing and this cabin was very conveniently located to all the spots we wanted to fish. Very clean, great communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend this cabin and will look to stay here again.
