Family-Friendly Lakefront Getaway on Paradise Lake

Paradise Lake Escape is a private, lakefront retreat thoughtfully designed for families and multigenerational groups. The main cottage and detached bunkhouse comfortably sleep up to 8 guests, offering space to be together while still allowing room to spread out.

Families will love the sandy, shallow swimming area, stairs leading safely down to the lake and seasonal dock, and evenings spent around the fire pit. The separate bunkhouse provides an ideal setup for kids, teens, or grandparents, complete with its own living space with beverage fridge.

Parents will appreciate modern comforts including gig-speed internet, washer and dryer, multiple living areas, and a quiet, low-traffic setting. The property also features a Level 2 (50 amp) EV charger that can accommodate electric vehicles or RV hookups, making travel easy and convenient.

For peace of mind, the property is equipped with two exterior security cameras located at the front and back of the home (exterior only). Located near biking trails and just a short drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. Paradise Lake Escape is the perfect home base for creating lasting family memories.

About the host

Host profile image
Michigan born and raised lived in Chicago for a little while but now I'm happily back in Michigan. My wife and I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I hope you enjoy our cottage and please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable!

Why they chose this property

As soon as I drove down the long driveway and looked out over the bluff at the lake I knew I wanted to call this place mine! Between the peaceful setting the access to great golf, fishing, boating, and all that Up North Michigan offers I thought this would be the perfect place to host friends, family and make new memories. I look forward to hearing about your travels and what you enjoyed while vacationing here!

What makes this property unique

Easy access to Mackinaw, Upper Peninsula, Harbor Springs, Petoskey, bike path, and great golf. Not to mention right on the lake with an amazing sandy bottom that seems like you can walk out forever.
