Cabi

It was basic. Master was just a full size bed but husband and I split up and slept in 2 bedrooms. Bath has no electric to plug in a hair dryer but can be done in bedroom. This place appears to just get a "surface" cleaning after each guest which bothers me because you pay for a cleaning fee. Much dust on lamps. Uncomforable sitting in living room as the air conditioner blows right on you while sitting there. It fulfilled our needs but it is basic, so beware. No shampoo or hair dryer (although to be fair, they were no listed in the amenities). We have stayed in many VRBO's and this one was the most over priced for what you are getting.

Nice location

We stayed 2 nights on a multi-state trip and the location was great. You can enjoy Paradise Lake, you can use it as a base to enjoy Mackinac Island and the Great Lakes, or both. We had a campfire one night and had a great stay. Loved being able to wash our clothes before heading to the next location!

Cozy, clean and conveniently located cottage

Lovely cottage close to Paradise Lake. Great location to serve as a base for activities in the area, including Mackinac City, Mackinac Island, Headlands Dark Sky Park and Wilderness State Park. Also close to a good restaurant, Harbor Light Grill. Great shower and a solid supply of hot water. Mattress on double bed was very comfortable. Washer and dryer were a huge bonus after an unexpected tumble in a lake. Be prepared to stream content on the TV, as the TV is only available for streaming or mirroring. Also, bring a book light if you want to read after dark, as there are no floor or reading lights.

Cozy Cottage

Excellent accommodations for our weekend get away! Three adults and a 4 year-old were in our group and it fit us perfectly. We arrived on Friday to find a clean, welcoming home. We prepared all meals here and the cottage was supplied with enough pots and pans to prepare our basic meals, plus plenty of plates, cups, utensils. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom wasstocked with plenty of towels, and plenty of TP, PT, and dish soap. Not to mention laundry on site with detergent provided. We spent Saturday on Mackinac Island. The ferry was a very short drive from Northern Nights. Very convenient! The fire ring out front was perfect for evening S’mores. We were able to purchase firewood at Chubbs. The General Store just a bit further than Chubbs also offered an array of convenience items as well as fresh meats. Great customer service at both as well! Our host was quick to respond to messages when we had a couple questions. Overall, a well appointed small cottage close to many activities.

Annual get away

This little cabin worked perfect for a place for my mom and I to stay with my 3 kids for our annual summer getaway. It was a short drive to Mackinac. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed.

Respite

The cottage was extremely clean and in excellent repair. It was simple but had many quality appointments. It was very cozy. And the owners were very readily available, as I had several conversations with Ekko. She even called me two days before check in to make sure we got the security code for the door lock. She didn't have to do that. They went above and beyond. I highly recommend this property. Thank you so much, Jamie and Ekko!

Ideal Cabin

The VRBO itself exceeded all expectations. It was impeccably maintained and furnished with a traditional cozy cabin touch. The owners had thoughtfully provided all the amenities you needed, making you feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen allowed you to whip up delicious meals, and the spacious living area provided a comfortable space to relax and unwind. So many nearby attractions only minutes away made the location ideal.
