While vacationing, we prefer to stay off the grid from the attractions, but like to be close enough to have quick access. We loved this cabin! It was clean and cozy with a beautiful view. We looked forward to arriving back to the cabin nightly following our adventures to cook dinner in the grill, relax lakeside and enjoy the view. If we visit the area again, we’ll definitely book here.
Cute and cozy with a fabulous view of Carp Lake!
Myself, my husband and our two children stayed. The accommodations were very good, clean and comfortable. There's a large, flat, green space for playing cornhole, bocce ball, ect. Tall, mature trees offer shade. It was everything I'd expect from a Northern Michigan lake cabin. It's close to the Mackinaw Island Ferries and the much bigger Lake Michigan. There's lots to do on this inland lake- canoeing, kayaking, fishing, boating, jet skiing... I gave it 4 stars because the yard and lake/dock area is shared with a neighboring cabin, which I was aware of, but I wasn't expecting to be in the middle of a family reunion. There a rule against large gatherings, but I guess it depends on your definition of large. The owner was very responsive to emails and texts.
The cottage was super cute and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the views were wonderful of the lake. We really enjoyed getting in the water, sitting on the dock, roasting marshmallows around the campfire with our neighbors. The restaurant a mile or so away was wonderful as well as the store across the road. This was a really neat place to stay!
The cottage was immaculate and just as the pictures show. Everything was in good condition. There was a good place to eat and a small store within a mile or so which was wonderful. Our neighbors were very friendly and we had a nice time getting to know them.
Loved being next to lake/ firepit/ kayaks. Thank you!
We had to sleep with the bedroom doors open since the heater is in the front room but other than that, it was a nice cozy little place with everything you need. Sharing the backyard with the renter next door was awkward
We had a really good time.on our stay I would recommend it to anyone
Our family had a wonderful getaway! We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, swimming in the shallow water and the wonderful lot. It was less than 30 minutes to Cheboygan, Mackinac City and St. Ignace. It was convenient and relaxing!
We had an amazing time at the brown log cottage. It was very well kept and had all of the essentials needed for our stay. Our neighbors in the other cottage were very friendly and we enjoyed having fores with them.
