About this cottage rental

A one bedroom bright and cheery cottage which is one of 3 on this property. It is walking distance to town. The focal point is the large screened front porch with a table and chairs for dining, and a wicker loveseat and chair for relaxing. Its the perfect place to unwind after a busy day of sight seeing or to sip a cup of coffee in the morning. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. And the full bathroom has a shower/tub combo. The bedroom has a queen bed while the living area has a full size sofa bed. TV/cable and internet are included, with games and books for your enjoyment also. It is a short walk to town and to the Straights. (The cottage is not waterfront). And a quick drive gets you to the Headlands Dark Sky Park, sandy beaches, and the UP. We feel this is ideal for 2 people, but can sleep 3 or 4 if really needed.
If this is booked or if you are interested in waterfront a few miles out of town, please check out the site for “Pointe West”. The address is Carp Lake, but it’s located on Lake Michigan between Mackinaw City and Wilderness State Park.

B.E.S.T cozy lil cottage in the area!Property well maintained, inside was clean, and basic needs all covered.Wish we could've stayed longer!They have AC unit inside for the summer.Everything is nearby, the ferry is walking distance! Which was nice bcs you don't have to pay extra for parking.I can tell the host really cares about their guests, their decorations are super cute! It makes you don't want to leave! Looove the additional charcoal grill firepit outside.Tips:1. Bring your bug spray you'll need it. Outside, they're brutal. We had problems with the flies and they sting! 2. Pack enough or more for your stay so you don't have to do laundry.3. Bring canned items or jar sauce to be able to cook dinners bcs the grocery store is small and has limited items.Our favorite place was Audie's family restaurant. Try their Walleye!We are so grateful we had a great time! We were so sad to leave... Thank you !

6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
We were enticed by the look and location of this cottage, and those did not disappoint. We were able to make it through the week and have a good time, but did have to deal with some quirks. We were excited to be able to sit and eat meals in the screened porch, but were unable to due to a black fly infestation (see image). Eventually, even moving through the porch to come and go became daunting. Additionally, the hot water only lasted about 10 minutes, making it difficult to shower and do the dishes at the same time of day. The strong scents on the furniture were also not ideal. But if at least the fly problem was taken care of, we would definitely consider renting this one again!
