About this property

Charming Historic Mackinaw City Cottage

Beautiful remodeled cottage in the heart of Mackinaw City. Located downtown and only a stone throw from Main Street. The cottage is a short three block walk from the Ferry lines to Historic Mackinac Island. Listed as a home but the feel of a historic Up North Cottage. Plenty of space for family gatherings. The first floor has a full bathroom and a laundry room with a washer/dryer doubling as a half bath. Upstairs has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open area with two twin built in beds and a sectional with a sofa sleeper. Great for the youngsters! Outside you will find a nice yard, great for watching summer Tuesday and Friday night fireworks!. This is a quiet neighborhood in a residential area.
Things to do locally: Downtown Mackinaw City where there is excellent shopping, food, breweries and indoor water parks among several other tourist adventures. Near is skiing, golfing, boating, beaches, parasailing, Casino, the Mackinac Bridge leading to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and last but not least the ferry lines providing transportation to Historic Mackinac Island.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is listed as a 4 bedroom but only 2 bedrooms upstairs, 2 twin built in beds in upstairs hallway, and a room on first floor with a couch that makes into a bed. There is 1 small window ac unit up stairs and 1 small window ac unit downstairs, but not powerful enough to cool the house on a July day!

Perfect location!

We loved the comfort and cleanliness of the house. It was great to be able to walk to the ferry, the lighthouse, the bakery, several other restaurants, and the main shopping area. The kitchen had a good selection of necessary utensils and pots, and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

great place!

We really enjoyed our stay here - house was very comfy, well-appointed, nicely redone, and fun. Great location - quiet neighborhood, but so nice to just park and be able to walk a few blocks to restaurants, the park by the bridge, ferry, or anywhere else. Even got to sit in the front yard enjoying a fun fireworks show. I'd definitely stay here again!
