About this property

Lakefront Cozy Cabin with Amazing Sunsets and Woodland Trails close to Mackinaw

Escape to the serenity of Northern Michigan and stay in our charming Birch Landing cottage, one of three cottages available to rent. Nestled at the water's edge, next to a woodland preserve, our cottage offers a perfect location for peace and tranquility while still being close to all the area's attractions. With one bedroom and a sleeper sofa, it comfortably accommodates up to four guests.


Step out of the cottage onto the wooden trail, and you'll find yourself in the midst of the Stony Point Nature Preserve. It's a nature lover's paradise with miles of hiking trails to explore. A stone's throw away is the Carp Lake Township Park, a historic park with a swing set by the water that's perfect for soaking in the serene atmosphere.


Our cottage's dock is fully equipped with watercraft for our guests to explore Lake Paradise, known for its fantastic fishing, with Walleye, Bass, Perch, Pike, and Bluegill among the species you can catch. The gradual slope of the lake bottom makes it ideal for small children to swim. For those who prefer to stay on land, our yard games, including Corn hole, Badminton, Croquet, and Whirly Ball, will keep you entertained.


Inside the cottage, you'll be greeted by the comfort of white-knotty pine everywhere, adding a rustic and cozy ambiance that can't be beaten while reading by the stone fireplace. Vintage and homemade decorations add a dash of local charm. The kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances, making homemade meals a pleasure. An updated bathroom with elegant tile and modern fixtures and a king-size bed ensure that you'll never feel cramped while sleeping. Our guests love that they feel like they're camping here without having to "rough it."


Our cottage rental includes spectacular sunsets, TrueStream fiber internet, a dedicated fire pit, lawn games, kayaks/SUPs, and much more. We also have two other cottages available on the property, perfect for extended family reunions.

When you're ready to venture out, take a ferry boat to historic Mackinac Island, famous for its delicious fudge. Or pack a picnic lunch and spend time on the miles of beach at Wilderness State Park. Cycle on miles of dedicated bike paths in the region, including the Petoskey-Mackinaw bike path, a quick ride from the cottage. Spend the day shopping and having lunch in Harbor Springs and Petoskey, or take a short drive across the famous Mackinaw Bridge to see the beauty of the Upper Peninsula. Golf or play tennis in the nearby village or relax at the cottage with a good book while the others fish or swim. The area also has many country/lakeside dining spots.


At the end of the day, enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your own sunroom. Later, roast marshmallows over the bonfire at the lake's edge. Please note that for our early spring and late fall guests, it can get cold during the shoulder months, so please come prepared. Our cottages are cozy but not equipped with central heating and cooling. You'll enjoy the cozy fireplace, and we have a small electric heater, but that's it. Bring a sweater, a warm blanket, and enjoy the fall colors!

At first I was worried that I had chosen poorly, but I was way wrong.It was a good base for our quest to Mackinac Island, comfy and close to the water. There were a lot of things to do (hiking, fishing, swimming, boating). More than I had time to do, so I might come back

Cute! The first night there, we got to experience the amazing sunset. Despite the cold and rain that followed we enjoyed the cozy cabin and the blanket throws! It was close to the ferry to Mackinac and many other places that we visited. Great Wi-Fi for such a remote location. Something for everyone here! Wish we could have experienced the lake more but maybe next time!

Peaceful

The property was very clean and decorated very nice. The front sunroom was amazing and we enjoyed sitting out there and watch the lake and the awesome sunsets! The cabin is just so peaceful and tucked away from everything. We enjoyed sitting by the outdoor fire pit and all wood is supplied which was a nice touch! We highly recommend this beautiful cabin!!!

Peaceful Get away

The cottage was right on the lake, we enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. Inside was small but we knew that when renting, it was perfect for the two of us. Very comfortable. Not far from Mackinaw City. We would stay there again.

Peaceful Getaway

Our family of four had a blast staying at this cabin. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. It was cozy, comfortable, and clean. We loved being close to Mackinaw City. Our son loved fishing in the middle of the lake to catch huge bluegill.

Cozy cabin for 2

This is a small, nicely equipped cabin for 2 adults. It's the last home on its corner of the lake. There is a walking trail along the lake. Their owner has 3 cabins. This is the smallest, but most private.

Mackinac Island trip

My mother and I came up to spend a long weekend and visit Mackinac island. The cabin was cute cozy and clean. We didn’t cook a thing for 3 days and only had to wash 2 coffee cups. It was lovely to relax lake side after long days out and about. Mornings sitting by the lake were lovely too. Thanks for hosting us!
