About this property

Cozy Cottage on Peaceful Paradise Lake

A small, cozy, lakefront cottage is ready to be your perfect, peaceful retreat just 7 miles south of Mackinaw City. The original knotty pine walls add to the charm of this cottage built in the early 1940s. Updates have been made to the technology (TV & WiFi), bathroom, and kitchen to make your stay convenient and comfortable.

The lake is shallow, refreshing and clear! If you’re an angler- ask about a spot at our dock! Use our kayaks or float toys to connect with water or play in the large yard. There is lots of room to play or lots of ways to rest, including chairs and a hammock. If you’re a cook, there is no better dinner than the one you can cook outside on the grill and eat at the lakeside picnic table. At night, the fire pit is the best place to share stories and watch for the northern lights!

Hope to see you soon!

Property was very clean. Kim was very attentive and helpful when we had questions. Cottage had everything we needed, even charcoal for the grill. Rooms have a beautiful open ceiling to the peaked roof with a fan that cools everything off for a good night’s sleep. The only problem would be if you have someone who snores loudly - could wake others up. I had no problem with sleeping with ear plugs!

This was the perfect little getaway. Very very clean. It did get very hot, but there are little fans in each room and two in the main area. We brought one of our own too which was also helpful. We loved the location because we felt secluded enough but were just a short drive to mackinaw city and other beaches. Paradise Lake was a great lake for our two small children since it’s so shallow and easily accessible from shore. With that in mind, it is very shallow for a long ways out. Do not plan on fishing off the dock.

Beauty Spot on Carp Lake (Lake Paradise)

Very nicely-updated older cabin, well-kept, nice amenities, very clean, and friendly owners next door. This two-bedroom cabin was a great place to stay on Carp Lake, being close to Mackinac City and beaches on Lake Michigan. It's at the end of a dead-end road, so there is no road noise, and it's short sail or nice paddle to Chubb's store and maria and Harbor Lights Grille restaurant. The shared dockage right outside the cabin door is a big plus. The fast Wi-Fi came in handy, especially the one day it rained the whole day. This part of Northern Michigan is my favorite vacation spot when I solo vacation each year in June.

Perfect getaway for small group

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Carp Lake. The setting was excellent, and being less than 15 minutes from Mackinaw made it a perfect location. Good for two couples.

Tranquillity

We loved the setting. It was beautiful and tranquil. We do have a few suggestions. The lighting could be improved. It is not bright enough to read at night. The bathroom is very small. The shower is not accessible to anyone with mobility issues. We also suggest adding grab bars to the shower area. There was a problem, with the heater but the owner plans to get that resolved. Overall, we liked our stay, and we were happy we decided to stay at Carp Lake and not somewhere else where it would have been busier. The owners are next door and are friendly and helpful. We loved their dog.
