Lakefront, dock and cabana, sleeps 6

We would like to assure you that every precaution has been taken and the housekeeping staff follows the CDC guidelines for cleanliness.

This is a newer lakefront property with sunset views over beautiful Paradise Lake. Cross the country lane to a private beachfront on a sandy bottom lake with cabana and "L" shaped dock. Bring your water toys but we have 2 kayaks for your use. Paradise is a great fishing Lake so bring your poles; some fishing tackle is available on site. Paradise Chalet is located just minutes from Mackinaw City and the ferries to Mackinac Island but offers you a private and peaceful retreat to return to. It's nestled in a quiet cove and surrounded by forest.

This spotless cottage is light and airy with lots of windows and amazing views of Paradise Lake. It offers everything you need to enjoy your vacation - just bring your groceries! The master bedroom adjoins the bathroom on the main floor and has a queen sized bed. The upstairs loft has 2 queen beds. The main floor has an open design with living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a very large deck drenched in sun which faces the lake. The cottage features central air, a new washer/dryer, DISH satellite, WIFI and a water treatment system to remove that ‘country water’ that so many cottages have. We also offer 2 bikes for your use.

The location is so perfect to enjoy Northern Michigan. Situated minutes from Mackinaw City, the Mackinac Bridge, St. Ignace (the gateway to the Upper Peninsula) Cheboygan, the beautiful Inland Waterway, Les Cheneaux Islands, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Good Hart, and Charlevoix - the list goes on and on! The fall colors are unbeatable and there are lots of opportunities for viewing them. Organized bike rides, road races for runners and winery and brewery tours are very popular. Golf, fish, boat, swim, ski, hike, bike, antiquing, casinos, winery/brewery tours. What's your pleasure?

If you love biking, the North Western State Trail can be accessed through Carp Lake and passes through many communities along the way, including Conway, Oden, Ponshewaing, Brutus, Pellston, Van, and Levering. In 2018, the scenic route was recognized with a National Recreation Trail designation.

The spring and fall are great for bird watching - especially the hawk migration in early spring. We've personally witnessed it and it takes your breath away to see the hundreds of raptors circling the sky to make their annual crossing of the Straits of Mackinac.

Join us as guests and make this a memorable vacation spot that you will want to return to over and over again!

Family getaway
The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Beautiful view of the lake and close to Mackinaw City. Spent most of our days in the city or island so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the lake. We were able to enjoy beautiful sunsets though.

Relaxing spot
Cottage is away from the hustle and bustle, but only a short 10-15 minute drive to Mackinaw City and the ferry to the island. The lake is very close, just across the road and a nice view from the cottage.

Michigan Trip
My boyfriend and I planned a long weekend away. Location was great. Close to Mackinaw City. water with dock across the street. Great view of the water. Everything was true as stated in the listing. The property could have used some finessing. Lots of spiders and cob webs. Inside and out. We are used to more complimentary items to cook with like seasonings, foil and things to put left overs away in.

Perfect vacation spot
This house was perfect. We did not experience any problems. The location was great. The weather didnt cooperate so didnt get to kayak but there are 2 nice kayaks to use. Very safe area. Kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of paper products, soaps, etc. Lots of towels. One of the nicest rentals we have stayed in. Highly recommend.

Anniversary getaway
This is our second time staying at this property and we love it! The house is right across the road from Paradise lake and has a pier and kayaks that can be used. The house is very comfortable and remotely located. However, you are still close to Mackknaw City and the ferry to Mackinac Island. It is so peaceful and quiet. We have seen and heard loons both times we have stayed here. We hope to come back again in the future.

35th anniversary getaway
We loved our anniversary getaway! This VRBO was exactly what we were looking for. The area is fairly secluded but right across the road from Paradise lake. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, birdwatching, and enjoying the spectacular sunsets from the pier. It is very short drive to the ferry to Mackinac Island...another highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this place. We hope to come back in the future.
