About this property
Book for summer! Lakefront cottage just steps from Mullett Lake w/kayaks
Cozy cottage just steps away from Mullett Lake with 90' of private lakefront to enjoy and crystal clear water. Situated on the 'inland waterway' with beautiful water for swimming, boating and fishing. You can't get much closer to the water with incredible views of the lake and scenery from almost anywhere on the property.
The two bedroom one bathroom lakefront cottage is easy to access from I 75 and is located just north of Topinabee. Great for families or couples looking for some time away from it all. Cottage is knotty pine interior for that rustic feel, yet features modern amenities and a full kitchen to make you feel at home.
Access to the lake is out the front door and only steps from the deck. Enjoy the fire pit at the lake side, star gaze, cook out on the propane grill, swim, kayak or simply relax and take in the views.
Need to stretch out - explore the North Central State Trail, which is very accessible and set up for biking, walking, jogging or snowmobiling. The Trail runs 62 miles from Mackinaw City to Indian River and south to Gaylord and is situated behind the cottage.
Cottage has a private dock, mooring and is within a quarter mile of a boat launch, which is located on the same road as the cottage. Mullett Lake offers great opportunities for fishing with 17 species including walleye, perch, smallmouth bass, musky and more. Tons of state land nearby as well for additional opportunities to recreate.
Close to Topinabee and Indian River for easy access to dining and shopping. Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Cheboygan and Gaylord are all within 15-40 minutes if you want to explore more of the area. Family and pet friendly so everyone can enjoy this special place and get away from the routine.
Cottage is pet friendly, but please let us know the number of pets and type prior to booking.

About the host
Hosted by Ken and Lynn
Lynn and I currently live in Mt. Pleasant, which is where I grew up and later returned after living in Boston, Madison and Lacrosse Wisconsin. Lynn is a Wisconsin native, but has enjoyed living in Michigan across the pond so to speak! We have three kids at home and enjoy traveling in Michigan and exploring the National Parks out west.
Why they chose this property
We had been looking for a cottage up north for some time without much luck. Lynn's family has a cottage on a northern Wisconsin Lake and my Grandparents had a place on Torch Lake that was later sold when they passed away. I like to say we are lake people at heart, but in the quaint old school cottage sense, not the second mansion on the lake types.
So when we found The Yellow Cottage for sale we instantly fell in love with it as did our kids and my parents, who all were there for the first walk through. The double bonus was that Green Cottage to the north was for sale and my brother and his family were also looking for a place on a northern Michigan Lake.
Fast forward and we are all now coming into our 3rd summer at The Yellow Cottage. We continue to enjoy the cottage as much as possible, while also sharing it with guests who have been awesome.
We are not sure when it will really feel real, but we remain in awe of the beauty and feel fortunate to be able to enjoy and share our small slice of Mullett Lake and northern Michigan. Our family loves the area, the easy access to the trail, the clear Mullett Lake water and of course the old school Yellow Cottage. We hope you find it just as welcoming, relaxing and enjoyable as we have.
