Cottage Overlooking Paradise Lake

Lakeside Cottage Near Mackinaw Island

Well maintained, charming cottage under 5 miles to Mackinaw City and ferries. This lakeside retreat is tucked in off the main road with a few other summer cottages. A small updated, well-equipped kitchen overlooks the beautiful lake. Eat while enjoying the breeze through open windows, or relax on the cottage deck while enjoying nature's beauty. Fish from the dock, take out the paddle boat, or watch the sunset. Cozy up to a fire pit, one on water's edge and the other steps from your door. This is the perfect place to relax, fish, shop, or ferry to Mackinac Island.

Very relaxing and quiet
Cabin was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. Walked the Mighty Mac which was an amazing experience. Loved the way the cabin was decorated. The only suggestion we would have is putting some slip resistant Tape in the claw foot tub. Very slippery and there is nothing to hang onto to assist you

Great Cabin on the Lake
The cabin was a great place for three ladies exploring northern Michigan. The dock provided a great place to relax and watch the sunset. The showers were hot and the little kitchen had all we needed to cook up a meal or two. The shaded area kept the heat bearable for good sleeping and the neighbors were friendly and made it feel remote but safe.

Great Spot on Lake Paradise
I had another great visit to this little yellow cottage in the old Wiggins Camp on Lake Paradise. As always the place was clean, well-maintained, and a lovely place to stay. The property owners I met again and anew were all friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back, this time with a friend, in August 2023.

Relaxing
The cottage is very charming, and a great location. The lake is beautiful and very peaceful. Met some of the neighbors and they were really nice and friendly. Used the kayaks and paddle boat. Did some swimming and fishing. We weren’t inside the cabin much, we had a great time on the lake. We would definitely go back.

Perfect location
My bf was doing the Mackinac Bridge run, so we made a long weekend out of it. Perfect peaceful spot, but close to Mac city. Also found a few cool breweries and local spots to explore. Owner responsive, and whole process was smooth

My mom and I spent 3 days in this adorable little cabin. We basically only ate 2 meals in the cabin and only cooked 1 of them. But everything you need is provided. The cabin is set up to be as comfortable and homey as you need for a home away from home. Its clean and they are easy to reach and communicate with. Loved how quiet the area is around the cabin as well. I will never have the opportunity to visit the area again but if we did would absolutely stay here!
