Quaint Cottage with a Private Dock on Paradise Lake

Very nice, clean, and comfortable

It is a very cute cottage. We had the opportunity to use both the AC and the furnace and both worked great. The patio facing the lake was very comfortable and we enjoyed having our meals out in the sun room with a view. The property is within easy driving range of a number of cities including Mackinac City.

Everything was fabulous.

Beautiful cottage on Carp Lake fewer than 10 minutes from Mackinac City. Very small bedrooms are what makes it 4 star v 5.

The cottage has been nicely updated, the uncluttered small space feels light and airy. The view from most any spot from main living area was of the lake. We enjoyed the porch and tiny backyard where you are almost in the water!

It was beautiful and perfect. Everything was very clean and well cared for. Highly recommend for a small getaway.

This is a beautiful little cottage. Everything was very nice and clean in a great area right on the lake with pleasant neighbors. I would recommend this cabin over and over again!

Lake views from the enclosed porch are spectacular. Kitchen has everything you need within easy reach. Weather was a bit chilly or I would have rented a boat from the marina down the street and tied it to the dock. Also top notch restaurant and sports bar 5 mins. away.

Great little cottage

Ruth's cottage was fantastic. It was clean, quaint, cozy, and in a great location. Easy access to Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Indian River, etc. We will absolutely be back. Ruth was a great host - very quick communication and very accommodating!

My three sons and my husband and myself stayed at Ruth’s little cabin while visiting my parents for an early Christmas stay. The house was warm and clean and in a cute little neighborhood in the village of Carp Lake. We loved the miniature sun porch where my son and I painted a couple mornings and of course the lake itself. Even frozen, the water is beautiful and such a special place to live. Communication with Ruth was simple and fast and checkin was a breeze. The neighbor across the street even waved and asked if we need him to swing his blower across and clear the driveway the day we were leaving. I wished there was an extra set of bedding to use on the r fold out couch available just in case and I also found myself wishing for a couch throw on those chilly mornings. We would love to come back again in the summer and enjoy the dock and the summer view.

The cottage was small but clean and cozy. The location was perfect to get to Mackinac Island and wilderness state park. Check in/out was a breeze. We had a wonderful stay.

This property is a quaint cabin on the lake. Close to everything we planned for our time in Michigan. The cabin is well maintained and very nice and comfortable. We loved watching the wildlife on the lake and the sunset in the evening.

They house was so cute, being directly on the lake was a huge plus and the neighbors dog is adorable and very friendly. The drive to other places was very reasonable so the location was perfect. I would stay again!

This was exactly what we were looking for - small, cozy cabin for my family! We didn’t spend a ton of time at the VRBO as we were out and about. Ruth was fantastic to communicate with! She left a bottle of wine, had plenty of pamphlets of the area and everything you’d need (stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets (it was chilly when we stayed).My kids loved the lake and “fished”. I would 100% book again.

Wonderful place to spend time

This was the perfect little place for our family of 3. Our 9 year old spent the week fishing off the dock and playing with the neighbors dog Trip! The area is so quiet and peaceful. The home was clean, had everything we could have needed and updated more than most of the available rentals in the area. Walking distance to restaurant and Chubbs bait shop. Short drive into town to walk Mackinaw City. We are grateful for a week in Ruth’s Paradise!

Clean and well maintained property on Paradise Lake. Small yet comfortable rooms with good quality beds. Very clean on arrival and the host is very quick to reply. No complaints from us. Thanks for the stay!

This house is so cute and was perfect for my husband and I. The location is great, central to everything we wanted to do. Will definitely stay again.

We stay at the cottage every year location is perfect and the cottage is always well maintained.
