Very nice, clean, and comfortable
This cottage is homey and relaxing. It was quiet which was great after all the holiday hubbub. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The property owner responded to all my messages promptly. The lake is absolutely beautiful. We are talking about going during the summer months so my husband can fish. Thank you so much!
We were delighted at the size of the cottage and with the location- just steps to the lake. The furnishings were comfortable and clean. The internet was reliable. We would recommend this cottage to anyone interested in exploring this region of Michigan; it’s convenient to Mackinaw City and eastern part of UP.
Adorable little cottage on beautiful lake, quiet neighborhood,
We loved the small cozy cottage by the lake. We received a complimentary bottle of wine, the view was beautiful, the cottage was clean and close to Mackinaw City and the ferry to the Island. There was so much to do and we had an amazing time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time away at this lovely little cottage on Paradise Lake/Carp Lake. Very clean and very comfortable (I even contacted the owner to find out where she bought her pillows--loved them!) Would totally stay here again when we plan our next Up North vacation! P.S. The neighbors (Julie, Fred, and their dog Tripp) are awesome! ?
Very comfortable beds and pillows. This cabin met all our needs and is well-located to get up to Mackinaw City, Mackinaw Island, the U.P., over to Legg's, Petosky, Spring Harbor, etc. Renting a boat from Chubbs Marina was convenient and easy. I was even able to get my fishing license there when I couldn't fit it in before vaca.
We had a lovely stay at Ruth’s lakefront cottage. We received a complimentary bottle of wine, the view was beautiful, the cottage was clean, and the neighbors were friendly. We were only 10 minutes from Mackinaw city. There was so much to do and we had an amazing time!
This cottage is just wonderful, sure it may seem small but it’s so cozy and well laid out. Meets all your needs and then some! Beautiful views right off the back porch and it’s so clean and up-kept so well. The property owner was wonderful to work with and so responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend if you’re up this way and need a comfortable place to be. Thank you! We will visit again!
The cabin was perfect! Spotless, cozy furniture, wonderful shower. Minutes from the Mackinac Bridge. We’ll definitely return!
We had hoped to see the Northern Lights at Headlands, but maybe didn't do enough research. We are from Virginia and I went with the mindset that even if we couldn't see the lights, it would still be interesting and different -which it was! The house is the perfect size for a couple or small family. Clearly this is a summer destination but winter was fun too. There was an ice fishing tournament right out the front door! Ruth was a fantastic hostess - extremely prompt with her communication and very accommodating. I highly recommend this wonderful, cozy cabin. Thank you Ruth!
I could live there!
Lots of fun things to do in the area,shopping and excursions. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The cottage sits about 15' from the water which gave us an opportunity to enjoy the wild life.
The cozy cabin is exactly as pictured! Very clean, comfortable and cozy. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. Love the recliners and spent most of our time on the screened in porch. Ruth was the perfect host. Will for sure return here! Sandy and Sally BFF's for almost 30 years
4 guys 1 lady only 1 an1/2 rolls of toilet paper very little dish soap, had to ask for more ,embarrassing
We had a great week at the cottage. Everything was clean; pictures online are accurate. Lake and area very quiet. We found lots to do in the surrounding area...Petoskey shopping, Mackinac City and Island. Fun time at the Garlyn Zoo and Deer Ranch...even the teens had fun. Also had a nice day and picnic at the beach/sand dunes near St. Ignace.
Very pleased with the rental, cleanliness, having Roku Tv was great, nice boat dock worked well for our bass boat plan to return next year....but I will bring a big coffee cup. Corelle is nice but I need a mug of coffee?
