About this property

Mullett Lake Retreat

Stunning home in the heart of Topinabee, MI with Mullett Lake frontage.

This beautiful Northern Michigan home is located in a prime area with 100' of frontage on Mullett Lake, part of Michigan's famous inland waterway which allows you access to Lake Huron, Cheboygan River, Black River, Mullett Lake, Indian River, Burt Lake, Crooked River, and Crooked Lake.

In the home you will find a beautiful dining room with a gas fireplace, a large great room with a gas fireplace and windows overlooking Mullett Lake. The lower level of the home you will find a nice bar area for entertaining along with a hickory pool table, there is also a second living room in the lower level.

Attached to the upper level of the home you will find a beautiful trex deck overlooking Mullett Lake with a hot tub. Walking out from the lower level you step out onto a stunning paver patio with a beautiful firepit. Near the lakeshore you will find a 1600 sq foot patio with ample seating, a fire pit, gazebo, gas grill, and day cabin that has a couch and additional fridge to keep your drinks cold on a hot summer day. Great area for gathering the group and hanging out by the lakeshore. To top it off there is mooring buoys available for boats (boats cannot be tied to docks, fines applied if damage occurs).

For your convince there is also a well-stocked gas station/party store that is within walking distance of this property that has the best breakfast pizza around.

The above property is all season recreation. The summers are great for boating, jet skiing, fishing, sunbathing, and swimming. Fall and Spring are great for riding ATVs on the many miles of trails to the East of Mullett Lake. Winter is for snowmobiling, skiing, and ice fishing with close proximity to the snowmobile trail (the trail runs through our property), ski resorts and casinos.

Property is 5 miles North of Indian River, exit 310 off I-75. Four hours from Detroit and 30 mins from Pellston Regional Airport.

Family Vacation

Lovely large home across the street from Mullet Lake. The house was clean, the view from the deck lovely. Julie and Jeff were great hosts. Only complaint was smell from lower bathroom drain and that the 2 upper bedrooms were warm so had to sleep with doors open to feel AC from other rooms.

Great way to bring in NYE

This place would be amazing in the summer but we stayed for a few nights for NYE and was perfect for us. Plenty of space and we enjoyed the family time. The house was full stocked and we didn’t want for anything. Would stay here again.

Perfect for Us!

Overall, just a beautiful property. Impressed with cleanliness of home. Loved the proximity to Mackinaw. Of course hot tub was a big hit for all ages! Mullet Lake looked super clear compared to some others we’ve stayed at up north. Loved the shallows for the kids too! Thanks Jennifer, you’re a great host.

Great Place for Multiple Guests

This place worked great for our annual Winterfest gang. The weather did not cooperate however our plan is to return in 2025. Great place for 12 men, big meals, football and socializing. With snow and ice it will be an outstanding location for snowmobiling, ice fishing plus we had some skiers in the group, about 30 minutes from ski hills. Host was outstanding, responded quickly when we were trying to find house for initial check-in. No issues but its rural and took a second to figure out the specific home via google maps. Could use a couple upgrades with kitchen utensils, not a big issue just nice to have (forks-spoons).

Excellent getaway right on the lake

This location exceeded our expectations. It looks as if most of the interior has been newly redone, and the cleanliness deserves five stars. We had a relatively small group stay, just five people, but I think you could easily have 12-15 people stay very comfortably. There was a nice living room area downstairs and one on the main level, plus ample seating on the deck and by the lakefront. I think this would be a perfect spot for two families to escape to during the summer. It felt as though we were staying at a resort. The hot tub is as promised as well. The host, Jennifer, was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond at every turn. We felt welcome from the moment we stepped onto the property, with many thoughtful touches throughout the home. It's clear she wants you to enjoy the area as much as she and her family do. Check-in and out was completed via a lockbox, which was very convenient for our group. If I had more space, I would say more, but trust me when I say you won't be disappointed! Highly recommend.

Property needs attention

Unsanitary and unsafe. Dead animal behind walls in kitchen caused repulsive fumes. Sewage back up in basement bathroom caused lingering smell of feces. Hot tub promoted in listing had no top, low water, was teeming with green bacteria, had clearly not been cleaned in a long time, was a cesspool and an eyesore. Many unfastened bricks on front porch fell off regularly causing tripping. Refrigerator glowed with digital message “water filter has not been replaced in three years”. No outdoor lights at water area made lovely patio space dangerous at night risking injury. Nice property that was surface-cleaned before and after our stay by a kind company who admitted to ongoing complaints by renters all summer. Major issues not addressed by owner made stay worth much less than we paid.

This was our second visit to this property, and Lord willing, we’ll come again. Such a lovely setting with the lake across the road, offering walking paths and fire pits, and even ice cream treats and s’mores supplies as an unexpected treat! The home is so spacious and offered plenty of seating for meals and relaxing. The pool table was a bit hit, along with the fireplace and hot tub. We appreciated well stocked kitchen and bathrooms and rustic decor. We will forever cherish the memories we made as a family here. So grateful to Jodi for her gracious and generous hospitality! God bless!

The house provided plenty of space for my extended family weekend vacation. It made a trip to Mackinac Island easy, and we enjoyed the clean hot tub and walking distance to Mullett Lake. The house had everything we needed for cooking meals for a crowd. It smelled a little musty downstairs but there was a dehumidifier to help with that issue. I would say it's not ideal to have the smallest bathroom downstairs where all the bunkbeds (kids sleeping area) are. It was really strange that there was a keypad on the outside of the master bedroom door. My dad managed to lock himself out of that room, and there wasn't a code for that door in our online or hard copy itinerary. I had tried calling the host, but it turned out that she was out of town and had another gentleman taking care of issues, which my dad communicated to me and once we made contact with him a walk away (he was very nice), he was able to get ahold of the host to get the code so we could get into that bedroom. That was the only issue. We would stay here again.

Beautiful Lake Get-away

We had such a nice time at the house and really appreciated the communication with the owners. The walk down to the lake has a path that connects to the dock by crossing a busy road. There was a lot of space and the porch was lovely for coffee in the mornings while overlooking the lake. We were central to a lot of activities in northern Michigan and made it up to the UP for a hike as well. We would definitely come again. The hot tub was out of commission and the owners tried to fix the hot tub during our time there, but it's ready for the next group!

The Host Was Awesome!!

The House was beyond our expectations. Everything was in good order and plenty of beds for our fishing group. The host was more than helpful with any of our needs. The only down was the road coming in was in bad shape, but that's not the Host fault its the county for not grading. If you have a large group i would recommend this place 100%.
