Anniversary Getaway

This is a nice little hidden, peaceful getaway. The screened in porch was the highlight of the stay for us since we could sit out there and enjoy our meals, talk, relax, read, and just enjoy the beautiful view. Would like to come back and stay again when sightseeing more of Michigan.

Prefect little cottage close to so much stuff

Loved the location - we saw mackinaw, perky, UP, dark sky park, and cheboygan. The lake is beautiful and steps outside of the back door. The cabin is small, but a great size for the 3 of us

Lovely lakeside retreat

My husband and I loved our stay right on the water. We kayaked and canoed, we cooked fresh fish from the market, and we used our cabin as home base for traveling to Mackinac Island and Petoskey. We read on the wonderful screened porch and watched many sunsets. It was a perfect stay.

Charming family cottage

This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage. The shallow lake and kayak makes it a perfect stress free area for my 12 year old son to have some independence. This cottage is close to Mackinac City and Island while still feeling secluded. The hosts are great communicators and the cottage is well stocked. As a bonus, there are beautiful sunset views.

Check in was very easy, we were able to get in sooner than the check in time. Kitchen is small but had everything you needed. The place the clean. We needed to use the air conditioner because it was a little warm but cooled down at night. Quiet little cabin. We had kayak, canoe and row boat to use. The beach was sand. We enjoyed our 3 nights there!

Lovely cottage

We stayed at the cottage with our two kids (7 and 10). It was very clean and decently stocked. The location was perfect for day trips into the UP and to Mackinac Island. The only thing we wished it had was a grill. Would definitely stay again.

I can’t say enough amazing things about our stay. Cottage was cozy, supplied with everything we needed. The lake was perfect for my toddler to play and it doesn’t get very deep until about 100ish feet out. It was clean and warm! The sunsets at night on the patio were breathtaking, and the fact that your in a screened in patio away from the bugs was a major plus. Close to mackinaw, tunnel of trees, and a good selection of food. We will 100% be back again. I can’t recommend this cottage enough!

Levering MI Lake Cottage

We had a great time at this lakeside cottage. We loved the front porch and the fact that it is right on the water of Paradise Lake. This property is located about 20 minutes from Mackinaw City and provides a great jumping point for day trips to Mackinac Island, St Ignace, Petosky, and Cheboygan. We brought our own bicycles and enjoyed riding the many trails available on the island and the mainland.

Perfect up North get away

This property was perfect for our family of 3. The lake provided hours of entertainment for my son, and it was shallow near the shore so I was able to relax and not worry about him. The host was amazing with communication and answered all of our questions quickly. The house was clean and really well stocked. Very relaxing.

Great Location and Great Place

Great Communication, Clean place, Even Better View. The beach and water are amazing, my 2 daughters & I had a great time swimming and just hanging out watching the sunsets. Mackinac city is close by, the ferry from there to Mackinaw Island is right there as well. The bridge is right there too if you want to check out some UP stuff. I’d HIGHLY recommend this place, so much so my girls asked if/when we can book it again to come back this summer.

Great cabin on a quiet lake

We had a great stay at this rustic cabin. The description was accurate and our kids loved using the row boat and kayak. The lake is very shallow, which was perfect for our two young kids (4 and 6). We also loved sitting out on the porch. Sunsets are gorgeous. The host was very responsive. Thank you!

Texas Couple Refresh & Getaway

We needed a relaxing vacation in cooler temps and that is exactly what we got. If you like to walk to stores and restaurants, this is not for you, but it was perfect for us. Sunsets are unbelievable from the porch. Loons, ducks, shallow water (perfect for kids), and everything you need close by. Clean, comfortable beds and linens. Very nice owners! A delightful treat that made us fall in love with Michigan!
