SPECIAL RATES FOR FALL AND WINTER RENTALS 2009 - 2010!
This cozy cottage is the perfect Michigan get-away for all 4 seasons! Constructed in 2006, it features birch ceilings, ash hardwood flooring, living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a full kitchen and even a laundry room. Stocked with everything you’ll need to enjoy your stay, just bring the groceries!
They say “location is everything” and you won’t find a better location to enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer.
You can be on the slopes of Boyne Mountain in less than 30 minutes. If you prefer snow-shoeing or x-country skiing, the area offers the Headlands, Wilderness State Park or Mill Creek - all minutes away. The beautiful Mackinaw to Midland snowmobile trail is easily accessed from the driveway of the cottage. Interested in a little more adventure? Try a dog-sled ride through the wilderness from a local musher! Also a great base-camp for hunters.
In the spring, birdwatchers gather from all over the country to catch a glimpse of the incredible hawk migration. You can view it from the spacious yard!
In the summer, you can be soaking up the sun on one of Lake Michigan’s most beautiful sandy beaches in 3 minutes. Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Historic Fort Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse are all within walking distance – as is Shepler’s Ferry dock – the ultimate transportation to Mackinaw Island. The cottage also comes with a kayak and a pair of mountain bikes for your enjoyment.
In the fall, take the color tour through the “tunnel of trees” or enjoy spectacular scenery in the Upper Peninsula, an easy drive across the mighty Mackinaw Bridge. There’s nothing quite like the sound of bugling elks during mating season at Pigeon River or the mysterious call of the loon on a quiet lake. It’s all here! Hunt, fish, hike, canoe, bike – you can do it all or you can just relax by the cozy fireplace with a good book.
Book your perfect Northern Michigan getaway today!

Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Mackinaw City
Our son and his wife were married on Mackinac Island a few years ago and that was when we decided to purchase this great cottage. We wanted to provide a special place for our children to bring their children in the years to come and we found the perfect spot.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
We can walk to the beaches, Mackinac Island ferries, the lighthouse, the fort or any number of great resturants or shops. We can drive to Sault Ste Marie, Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls, St. Ignace, the Les Cheneaux Islands, Drummond Island or Petoskey in about an hour. We love the outdoors and the possibilities are endless here. Swim, fish, kayak, canoe, sail, hike, bike, scuba dive, hunt, birdwatch - you name it! It's all available there.
The cottage is located in Mackinaw City, just west of the Mackinaw Bridge
For a wonderful trip back in time! You can walk to the ferry docks from the cottage and in 15 minutes you're on the Island. You can tour on foot, bike or carriage but no motorized vehicles on the is
Great shopping, shows and plenty of trendy places to eat. Well worth the 60 minute drive.
Gateway to the Upper Penninsula. There's a great casino, nice shopping and some great places to eat!!!
Wonderful hiking, wildlife watching, scenic shores. Site of Edmond Fitzgerald Memorial. Great birdwatching here!
Just 10 minutes from the cottage. Bear, deer, eagles, beavers, loons, bobcats....there are reports that cougars have even been found in the area in the past few years. Great hiking, kayaking, biking
Owner's Map of Mackinaw City
When Chuck and I met, one of the many things we had in common was that we grew up vacationing in Northern Michigan. As a result of those wonderful summers, we came to love the outdoors. It was such a part of us that we knew some day we'd have our own cottage there.
