Near Snowmobiling! Carp Lake Cottage w/ Fire Pit

Enjoyed our stay! Very close to Mackinac City and Petoskey. Excellent fishing and the lake is clean for swimming.

Check in was fine however the photos of the space were misleading by the photography showing the space to be larger than it was - the kitchen was smaller than a NYC apartment kitchen which made cooking for 4 people difficult. I didn't mind the older cabin decor (art, knickknacks and bedspreads) however the kitchen items (pots, pans, flatware, etc) were VERY OLD and had so many scrapes in the teflon, that it felt unsafe to cook food on them. We desperately needed at least 1 cookie sheet (which seems rather basic). We could of used at least 2 hand towels in the kitchen. The paper products (paper towels and TP) were the most cheap one could buy in a store that it was frustrating to spend so much on the rental to be given less than bare minimum. We would of reached out to the host about these items but they clearly think this is good enough, and then we learned that the cabin next to us didn't have a working refrigerator for their stay and the hosts solution was to give them 4 bags of ice for 5 days so I knew my concerns would of been dismissed. The beds in both bedrooms were very lumpy and one side of the mattress would create a hole if our spouses also got in the bed. The second bedroom lacked any dresser or storage. We did enjoy the lake, boats and fire pit but there was no supplies to properly extinguish the fire, or shovel to remove coals so that was concerning. I understand that this is an older style of cabin, it should be rented at a 2 person experience due to its size.

The host was great and a good communicator. The lake is lovely and the owner provides kayaks, paddles and life vests for the guests. The property was clean. AC worked. My only advice for future guests is to know the bathroom is small. Kitchen is small and basic, but we were able to make a nice, basic meal of spaghetti and breakfasts as well.

House was very clean and just as pictured on VRBO. House is quite small and very close the other house on the property but has a very large deck overlooking the lake. The lake is gorgeous. You can fish off the dock. The kayaks are high quality and there are ample paddles and life vests in the shed. Fire pit and chairs by the lake are great. I would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our long weekend at Carp Lake! The cottage was cozy and just the right size for two of us. We really liked the kayaks available and the Adirondack chairs to lounge on. Would highly recommend!

Very enjoyable, clean and wonderful lake view and access!

Very nice and quiet, close to town and loved the lakefront view.b

It’s a clean, cute little cabin that worked great for our party of 3. The only downside was the dock that was in the listing had been put away for the season which made fishing less enjoyable/efficient.

We enjoyed our stay in this quaint little cottage. Very clean and a terrific location. Being right on the lake was tremendous and we enjoyed using their kayaks and fire pit. A 10 minute drive to Mackinaw City was key as we picked up the ferry to go visit the island. Two thumbs up!

We had a great vacation here. The property exceeded our expectations! The cabin was clean, cozy and perfect for our family of 6. The view from the deck was beautiful. We enjoyed the kayaks and our kids loved fishing from the rowboat.The lake was great for swimming as well.We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely location and cute, comfy cabin, we will be happy to return!The owners were on hand promply when there was an unforeseeable issue, which was resolved as soon as was possible.

The cabin is in a beautiful setting adjacent to Paradise Lake. Quiet, but amazingly close to Mackinaw City. Great Host. Used the boats & kayaks provided with the host.

A very cozy cabin on the lake that was only minutes away from Mackinaw City and the Mighty Mac. Only issue we had with this cozy cabin is lack of blinds on windows and beds and sofa bed need upgrades.

This property has a great view of the lake but is extremely close to the other cabin on the property and you have to share the fire pit. The accommodations were as pictured and access to kayaks was a nice addition. The lake is gorgeous and clean! The proximity to the International star gazing park and the Mackinac bridge is only 10-15 minutes away which was perfect for us.

Was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting Mackinaw Cty and Mackinac Island. It was an easy 10-15 min drive to town. The cottage is on the small size but the outside amenities make up for that. We loved using the kayaks.
