Updates for 2026 include a new 50” smart tv, improved WiFi and new flooring. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage is one of 3 on this large wooded property. It is decorated with a cabin themed color and decor. This cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed, the other has a full size bed. The full kitchen is well equipped to cook all your meals. In the living room is tv/cable, books, games, and internet. The bathroom is small with a small shower (no tub). In 2021 a screened front porch was added with a dining space and a lounging area. Outdoor is a flagstone patio with a firepit for those evening marshmallows and s'mores. And there is room in the yard for kids to play while you relax in the hammock. All of this just a few blocks from town and the Straights. You can walk to the waterfront, restaurants, shopping, ferries to the Mackinac Island, and live music. Short trips by car are to Petoskey, Wilderness State Park, Tunnel of Trees, and the UP (Oswald's Bear Ranch, Whitefish Point, Tahquemenon Falls, Sault Ste. Marie). Also, just minutes away is the Headlands with its Dark Sky Park- a great place to watch meteor showers. Families with young children or teens, couples, and business travelers would all enjoy a stay here.
If this is booked for the dates you’d like or if you are interested in waterfront a few miles from town, please checkout “Pointe West “on HomeAway. The address is Carp Lake, but the cottage is on Lake Michigan between Mackinaw City and Wilderness State Park.

    We had a delightful long weekend here with our young kids. The house is small, but efficient, and worked great for us. We ate at the table in the screened porch since we didn't all fit at the one inside; totally fine, as I wanted to be outside as much as possible anyway! Everything we went out to do was very close, and if we came back with older kids, we would walk or bike everywhere.Something to note (that I probably could have sussed out, but missed) is that the grill is charcoal, but no charcoal is provided. Not a big deal; we just weren't prepared with our own charcoal. We decided to buy wood instead and enjoyed roasting hot dogs over the fire.Would stay again!

    Very comfortable cottage, walking distance from downtown. Set on a quiet side street with parking right outside the cottage. The large screened porch is great!

    Very cute and cozy cabin. Perfect for our little getaway. Far enough away from the busy downtown areas that it's peaceful, yet close enough to walk or bike anywhere in town. We'll definitely be back.

    We explored the Upper Peninsula. The northern coast and the southern cost. We went to restaurants and shops in Mackinaw City. The cottage was perfect. Had everything we needed. Inside and out of cottage was kept up perfectly. Host are easy to contact and respond back to you quickly. Thank you for a great stay.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in the Cedar Cabin. The cabin was well stocked, clean and pleasantly decorated. The location is close to downtown shopping/restaurants as well as the park by the bridge. Our only issue were the beds were rather firm for our liking. and they are in need of some sharp knives for food prep/steak knives. I wouldn't recommend for 4 adults. Perfect for my husband and I.

    Cannot say enough great things about our stay at this cute little cottage. We almost had to cancel due to a major medical event, and the host right away was willing to refund our money under the circumstances even though it was less than 30 days prior to arrival. Luckily we were able to go, and we did have to contact the host a couple times and the response was instantaneous. Highly recommend this cute cottage close to everything mackinaw area related

    The house has an amazing screened-in porch and fire pit, where we spent most of our time. We did not drive over 10 minutes the entire trip as we went to stores, gas stations, public beaches, and to a pool. The house is small, but perfect for 2 couples. I recommend!!

    My wife and I stayed in this cottage for a little trip to Mackinac after our wedding. We loved it! It's a short walking distance to town and the ferry. If you stay here, be prepared for no central air, but they do have a mechanism to allow you to controll the climate inside on particularly hot or humid days.

    This is a beautiful and very cozy cottage. It's clean and well stocked with all the amenities you will need and within walking distance of most everything in Mackinaw City. It makes walking to the ferry for Mackinac island very easy. The bathroom is really tiny with a small shower but it didn't bother us at all. We would stay again!!

    We enjoyed this location for it's proximity to both traverse City and UP locations that we planned to see on our trip. The ability to have a camp fire, see the bridge and a rare chance to see the northern lights on our trip made our stay above and beyond.
