About this cottage rental
This is a cozy two bedroom cottage (sleeps 4. Note: for 2026 the sleeper sofa has been replaced with a sectional, so no extra sleeping space) was completely renovated fall 2019/winter2020. It’s on a quiet and private wooded lot on a dead end road. The main part of the cottage is a mobile home with an attached 4 season room addition on the lake side.
The 4 season room has 2 sofas, dining area with a high chair, and a wood stove, books and games. It’s a relaxing place to read, watch the numerous ships that go by (with the telescope), play games, or nap. The view out the many windows is of the Straights of Mackinaw, including St. Helena Island, and the many pines and cedars on the property.
One bedroom has a queen bed, the other a full size bed.
The bathroom has a tub/shower and a small washer/dryer unit.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, full size fridge, microwave, coffee pot, Keurig coffee machine, and dishwasher.
The former dining area is now a pantry area with room to store and prep your food.
The “den” is the original living room with a large sectional sofa and smart TV (new 50” and soundbar in 2026) with DVD player. And yes, hubby won that design decision this year with the large sectional, ottoman, tv and soundbar. So that room is quite full, but comfort is the theme for 2026!
Outside is a gas grill, deck with seating, fire pit, and storage shed with 3 kayaks and a canoe for your enjoyment. The waterfront is beautiful with crystal clear shallow water with a sandy bottom. Bald eagles nest nearby and fly overhead. The towers and north causeway of the Mackinac Bridge are visible from the beachfront, which is especially beautiful at night. We have added security cameras- one is aimed at the driveway and road and 2 are aimed at the water away from our beach just so we can see the weather/water. The one near the campfire area will be removed before warm weather for the privacy our guests. The other is near the shed facing the lot/beach to the west.
We are close to Wilderness State Park and the Headlands Dark Sky Park- but the stars are just as visible right out our door. Mackinaw City is 7 miles away. For convenience, the Trading Post store is a short walk away- it sells food, souvenirs, scooped ice cream, pizza for takeout, firewood, and bike and kayak rentals. You will want to check it out.
Internet was added after the remodel so we have that available now thankfully.

Everything was as described. Very clean and comfortable. Great views in a peaceful setting!

Had a great time in this peaceful and beautiful location! This is a perfect spot for seeing the Northern Lights, and we were lucky enough to see them twice!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
A very nice and tranquil experience! The hosts were always respectful and very responsive. A note if you have a little one looking to take a bath (we have a 20 mo)...the bathtub/shower combo does not have a tub faucet and we had an issue with keeping the drain plugged and water in the tub. Otherwise, the place is clean and we loved the 4 seasons room, the firepit, and private beach!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
The place was gorgeous but unfortunately the gnats and mice made it less than enjoyable at times. If hosts got pests under control it would be five stars.
