Sunrise Shores cottage on the beautiful Lake Mitchell

⚠️ Please note: only a hand towel, kitchen towels and a bath mat are provided. Guests will need to bring their own towels if they plan on getting wet. 💦 Guests must also supply their own pillows and sheets; only comforters are provided. See bed sizes under "Rooms & Beds".

⚠️ Please note that the cottage DOES NOT have air-conditioning.

Enjoy the four seasons at this upscale lakeside cottage! In the summer, enjoy fishing right from the dock; splash, swim, and boat on the beautiful all-sports Lake Mitchell. Enjoy the beautiful sunrises with a cup of coffee in hand from the large wrap-around deck. When you've worn yourself out playing on the lake, relax and enjoy a barbecue or a fire in the fire pit. At night, enjoy the starry northern skies while sitting fireside with friends and family — a truly relaxing experience awaits! The cottage is on the west side of Lake Mitchell on a road with no outlet, so both the lake and the road are quiet. The lake is just feet from your back door and wrap-around deck; the bottom is sugar sand for 60 to 70 feet from shore and is fairly shallow out just as far, making the cottage ideal for summertime splashing and other water activities.

In the autumn, enjoy the gorgeous fall colors as Cadillac puts on its most colorful show! Enjoy cycling in the cool autumn air on the scenic White Pine Trail, or simply relax fireside with family and friends as the summer begins to fade.

In the winter, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing are just steps away from the cottage as you head on out to Lake Mitchell. Bring your ice skates for a quick spin on the frozen lake, or play hockey with friends and family. Visit one of the area's many ski resorts for skiing and snowboarding, or simply relax inside the cottage next to the gas fireplace and enjoy the falling snow and winter scenery.

The cottage is within one hour of many of northern Michigan's major scenic and tourist attractions, making this the perfect place for staging excursions into the abundant wilderness or charming port towns on Lake Michigan. Or simply relax and enjoy life lakeside as the seasons unwind, and the sunrise starts your every day with its splendor!

A weekend of catching up.

This clean, cozy cottage was perfect for our home base as we could go shopping or out for dinner nearby or stay in with a working kitchen and fireplace for hours chatting.

Very nice accommodations

We truly enjoyed our stay! The cottage is very comfortable and the area is very quiet. Having the lake just a stone’s throw from the deck was an added bonus. Exactly what we were looking for so we could get away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

A Perfect Little Cottage for Our Family

From the moment we walked in we knew this was the perfect place for our 2 night stay. We spent hours fishing off the dock, took the canoe out and even swam on our one warm day. I loved how clean and cozy the home felt!

Nice Cozy Lake Cottage

A cozy lake cottage with great views of the lake. The property was as advertised, and the additions of the canoe and kayaks were fantastic. We enjoyed sitting outside and taking in the views. The kids had a great time playing in the lake.

Cannot say enough!

This cottage was PERFECT for my family. The neighborhood was welcoming and friendly. The lake was beautiful and fun....and RIGHT in the backyard! The owners were very communicative and made the whole process very easy. The cottage look EXACTLY like their pictures and was very comfortable and safe for our family. We plan to book at this same location again!

Wish we had more time...

We were there for a wedding so didn't have much time to enjoy the lake. The time we did have, we were able to sit on the swing and look at the beauty of the water. Would definitely stay again. Only negative would be the shower is extremely small but its a small bathroom so it makes sense. Thank you for our stay at your home.

Relaxing Vacation on Beautiful Lake Mitchell

We had a really great long weekend staying at Michael and Reiko's lake house. We felt refreshed upon leaving. The house has everything you need - the kitchen is stacked with all cooking supplies, there are games and book for rainy days, kayaks/canoe for enjoying the lake. We have kids aged 8 and 5 years old. The best part for them was the shallow water directly infront of the house. They loved jumping off the dock. One thing I would highly recommend are water shoes for kids and adults. The bottom of the lake is sandy but there are some sharp shells. My kids cut their feet the first day and so we invested in 10 pair of water shoes at Meijer and they swam worry-free the rest of our stay.There is no need to bring your own fans. There are plenty provided at the house. We found thr beds to be very comfortable and enjoyed the cool nights sleeping with the windows open.I would highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a relaxing stay on a lake. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Cottage is right on the lake with a nice little flat lawn. Its located in a nice quiet area but still close to town.The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need and the beds/ furniture were comfortable. They provide kayaks, a canoe, a good size range of life jackets and a dock you can use for your own boat. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to go back.

Disappointed as we stayed here many years ago when it was the original owners. Wife didn’t stay with us after the first night, as she is terrified of spiders which a couple ok, but six or more a day come on. Get an exterminator. I was a bit concerned about what appeared to be water damage, see photos. Over priced for what this place offers.

Very good

Upon arrival we were impressed with the cottage and location. Although the weather was not cooperating we knew this ahead of time but enjoyed our stay. Only changes recommended would be to update to more comfortable furniture. My opinion

Cadillac retreat

This cottage is very clean and cozy and has a great easterly view of the lake. Its description is accurate. A couple of suggestions, have some winter weight blankets and pillows available. Having a bit of coffee, sugar and some juice or milkwould've been a nice touch.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Reiko Rubida

Host profile image
We are both longtime teachers that really enjoy the outdoors and Michigan's northern wilderness! We fell in love with the northwestern part of the mitten during the last couple of years, and wanted a place to escape and unwind during our summers off. We are sharing our vacation home so that you can relax and unwind, too, and take in all the natural beauty of our beautiful state and its four seasons.

Why they chose this property

Cadillac is within an hour of most of northern Michigan's natural wonders, and boasts a town just big enough to have some really good restaurants and shops, while also having abundant nature and outdoor activities! Our cottage is cozy and inviting, and will feel like your home away from home when you come to visit.

What makes this property unique

The best of lakeside cottage living with a small town urban center just ten minutes away, as well as Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Manistee, and all the other attractions that beckon travelers to the north within one hour's drive.
