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 areahas 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.

    Such a cute small place for 1-2 people. We loved everything about it. It was quiet, clean, and decorated so nice. I loved sitting on the porch and reading. It was so close to town. We brought our bikes and rode into town more than once. We rode to the Mackinac Island ferry with our bikes. We will stay again!

    This cottage is perfect walking distance from the Mackinaw City downtown area, and very walkable to the Shepler’s Ferry dock in order to save your money from parking! We would not hesitate to stay here again!!

    Great location in a quiet neigborhood that is within walking distance of almost everything in Mackinaw City. We used our stay here to see all the wonderful fall colors northern Michigan has to offer. Location made it easy to reach the UP as well as both coasts in northern Michigan for out and back day trips. Host was easy to reach and the entire stay went very smoothly. Clean, cozy, and comfortable!

    Great location with easy self check-in. The house is cute and well maintained. The pullout couch did have mouse poop on it though. I'm guessing it doesn't get used much. It was still gross and luckily we had a blow up mattress for our child.Otherwise the place was nice & clean and had everything we needed.

    We spent 3 nights in this sweet cottage. We loved the screened in porch. The furniture and beds are comfortable. I liked that it was a little away from the main part of Mackinaw City, but close enough we could walk to most places.We would love to stay there again if we’re ever in the area. Highly recommended.

    We enjoyed our stay very much! The cottage was comfortable and clean, and the porch was the highlight. The owner gave a lot of attention to detail in decor and in stocking the kitchen with good tools for preparing meals. The location was excellent--quiet but walking distance to stores and restaurants. One teeny complaint: the grates on the grill are badly rusted. We would love to come back sometime!

    I stayed in the Macatawa City Cottage for 3 nights and felt like I was home. The decor is understated and tasteful; the bed is comfortable; the shower had plenty of hot water, and I enjoyed most of my meals IN because the kitchen has everything one needs. It was also a walkable distance to the ferry that goes to the island, which I enjoyed exploring for the first time. I would recommend this cottage for a couple or single guest.

    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!

    We had a wonderful time staying in this cute and quaint cottage. It was just perfect for two adults and a child. The cottage had everything we needed and felt cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance to downtown Mackinaw City, which made exploring shops, restaurants, and the waterfront super convenient. It also served as the perfect base camp for day trips in every direction, whether we were heading to the island ferry, hitting local attractions, or just out for a scenic drive. We’d definitely stay here again!

    Macatawa was as wonderful as we remembered it and the sweet new coffeemaker made my vacation! This is the perfect location for us to bike Mackinac Island and both sides of Lower Michigan including the Huron Sunrise Trail and Little Traverse Wheelway. We will always plan for future returns to this special rental...
