About this property

Amazing Lake Michigan Hideaway

We would like to assure you that every precaution has been taken and the housekeeping staff follows the CDC guidelines for cleanliness.
This cozy and comfortable cabin exudes peace and tranquility. It is surrounded by natural beauty with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan, the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. The cottage is super clean and family friendly. This is one story with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has 2 sets of bunk beds. There is a spacious dining room and a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living space with lots of windows and superb views of Lake Michigan and the Mackinac Bridge. This lovely cottage is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but a short walk to town. Mackinaw City has plenty of things to do from touring the nationally known fudge shops to nightly laser shows and music under the stars (in the summer months). Mackinaw City is also a great base camp for all of your up-north adventures. You can be on Mackinac Island in less than 20 minutes for a walk back in time. Plan on spending at least a day there enjoying this quaint Island. No motorized vehicles are allowed so travel is by foot, bike or horseback. There are plenty of great shops, galleries and wonderful restaurants to enjoy. Take an old fashioned carriage ride around the Island and hear the fascinating history of the area. Visit Fort Mackinac, tour the lighthouses and rent a bike for a great way to see the the Island.
Mackinaw City is easy driving distance to Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Boyne Highlands, St. Ignace, Les Cheneaux Islands, Taquamenon Falls, Saulte St. Marie, Whitefish Point and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Peaceful Cabin
The cabin was well appointed with everything that was needed for our stay. Cabin doesn't have AC which wasn't a problem for our stay, but could have been uncomfortable if it was warmer. The view was absolutely beautiful. Would definitely consider staying here again

Mackinac Bridge View
Excellent location with excellent view of the bridge, right on the water and steps away from the McGulpin Point’s lighthouse. I was able to walk the Mackinac Bridge and walk the 2 miles back to the cottage. Lovely cottage, only negatives was the steep steps down to the water and only having one bathroom.

Beautiful view of the Straits
Everything was as expected and as represented in the pictures. Nice small cottage, clean and neat. Wooded property, right on the shore. It was a job to get our kayaks down, but had instant access to paddle around the whole week. I would advise anyone with difficulty with steps to be very careful; the steps down to the beach area are steep. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer.

Amazing view
The view will never get old! The cottage is nice size, clean, equipped with just about everything you need. Close to the city and in quiet neighborhood. Our only complaint is the yard could use some TLC.

Great view of Lake Michigan, lake freighters and the bridge. Peaceful and relaxing setting.
Clean cottage with all the amenities. The owner called us on our first day there to see if we needed anything, which was nice. Diane Moreno from Mackinaw Getaways is always a pleasure to work with. The only disappointment we had was the TV only had 2 channels to choose from. Other than that, great experience! Would definitely recommend the cottage. We would like to go back again sometime!
