This cozy cottage is the largest of 3 on a large wooded lot on the west side of town. Outside is a park like setting with firepits, charcoal grill, and outdoor seating. A large deck is perfect for family meals or just relaxing. It was completely renovated in 2013 (with smaller updates since) with a cottage theme in color and décor. The full kitchen includes a dishwasher and is equipped to prepare all your meals. It has 1 1/2 baths which include a washer and dryer. There are 2 bedrooms-each has a queen bed. The living room has a tv with cable, books and games. 2026- new 40” smart tv and improved wi-fi. (NOTE- the loft is no longer available for sleeping). The cheery back porch has a day bed with trundle- perfect for reading or taking a nap. This comfortable cottage is well suited for families of all ages, couples, and business travelers as internet is included. An added benefit is that all 3 cottages on this large property can be rented for larger groups/families.
There is much to see and do with in walking distance- from shops, restaurants and ferries to Mackinac Island to beaches and hiking trails. And just a short drive away is The Headlands (a dark sky park), Wilderness State Park, M119 Tunnel of Trees, and the famous Mackinac Bridge leading to the beautiful Upper Peninsula.

    My family really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, very cute, and reasonably priced. The host communication was great. Exactly what we were wanting. 10/10 recommend!

    Dutch Harbor was an excellent choice for our family. Dining, shopping and transit to Mackinac Island were all very accessible and within easy walking distance from our location. As a matter of fact we didn’t move the cars out of the driveway at all on Saturday. The neighborhood was very quiet and the property was well kept. There were plenty of towels for the six of us. The property was well stocked with all necessary supplies. The hosts were very easy to work with and check-in was a breeze. Would definitely recommend. The other two units on the property looked very lovely as well. We definitely made the right choice and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

    Dutch Harbor was a great cottage for our annual girls weekend! The location was perfect! Very close to everything. Kitchen had what we needed. Having one and a half bathrooms was very nice. We used all the bedrooms and the trundle bed up front and all were comfortable.

    The cottage has lots of character and everything needed for our 3 day stay. It was especially nice to look through the photo album to see the beginning and end remodel project which was nicely done by Todd and Jackie. Lots of attention to detail. The cottage was very clean and with abundant basic supplies. Excellent cottage stay. Thank you Todd and Jackie

    The location was perfect. Close to everything, yet far enough removed to feel peaceful and quiet. The house was so cozy and comfortable. If only every location could be this enjoyable.

    One of the best VRBOs I've encountered. Hosts are kind and the house is better than advertised. So many attractions are short walks away, and the house offers spaces for both socializing and relaxing. If I ever return to this area, I would absolutely stay here again.

    We loved everything about Dutch Harbor cottage. It was adorable and spotless with so much attention to detail. We have to accommodate special diets (vegetarian, gluten-free) so do most meals ourselves to also stay “budget friendly” which is why I SO appreciated the nice quality cookware! Not the usual hodgepodge of peeling teflon coated pans that we find in other places we’ve stayed. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Walking distance to cute shops, and the ferry to Mackinac Island. However, we drove 15 minutes across the bridge to St. Ignace to take the “Classic” ferry since we had 4 Adult tickets to buy and even with the parking and tolls, we saved over 40, plus we wanted to check out St. Ignace and experience the bridge anyway. The only thing I would have changed is I wish we had booked a longer stay. Next time!Be sure to check out the photo book in the cottage detailing the renovation. You’ll be amazed!

    What an adorable cabin. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The cabin was nice and clean. Our only “room for improvement “ is the living room furniture was miserably uncomfortable and needs to be upgraded. We would stay again. Overall better than expected. Thank you.

    Adorable! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and felt like home the minute we walked in the door. Having a second bathroom (half-bath) was a much-appreciated bonus. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it was just a 10 minute walk to the Shepler ferry, shops and restaurants— so we didn’t have to pay for parking while on our visit to Mackinac Island. We had a wonderful mother/daughter/sister/niece/cousin (whew!) girls’ trip and our stay at Dutch Harbor did not disappoint. We recommend this rental without hesitation!

    We’ve traveled quite a bit. I can say without a doubt hands down this is the BEST Vrbo we’ve EVER stayed in! Not only was it beautifully decorated, it was spotless and so peaceful! It was close to everything & we loved being able to walk to the beach. We especially loved all the personal touches, coffee table books and family photos. We were very spoiled as most places don’t provide paper products, foil, plastic wrap, dishwasher/laundry soap, candles, cooking spices, coffee and even firewood! We loved every minute of our week & can’t wait to come back! We would highly recommend it to anyone! Thanks for sharing!
