Private and quiet with a beautiful view of the lake.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Cabin was small and rustic but cute with a decent view of the lake. Can't tie to the dock except to load/unload which we wish we'd have known prior to booking. Very limited parking especially if you have a boat trailer.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
Location was great--convenient to everything we wanted to see--Indian River Marina, Mullet Lake, North Central State Trail in the backyard, Mackinaw City. Very cozy feeling. Kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom lighting weren't the best. There is some definitive noise from the road, running the fan helped to cover it. Water depth off the dock is not good fishing, but the dock was nice for swimming, enjoying a cup of coffee. Overall a nice place!
