About this property

Cozy Cabin on Paradise Lake

You won’t find a better location for peacefulness, family-friendly lake access, hiking and cycling, and proximity to Petoskey, Mackinaw and the upper peninsula. The location is so peaceful and quiet yet so close to everything Northern Michigan has to offer. The cottage rental includes spectacular sunsets, TrueStream fiber internet, dedicated fire pit, lawn games, kayaks/SUPs and much more

Sunset Shore (one of three properties available to rent on site) is a 1 bedroom Cottage that sits at the waters edge at the end of a wooded trail. It soaks in the breeze off Lake Paradise and rests in peace next to the quiet Stony Point Nature Preserve. This Preserve is a nature lovers paradise with a trail system that helps you hike it all.

A stone's throw lands you in the Carp Lake Township Park - a historic park nestled in the forest. Its tiny, but the swing set by the water is all you need to enjoy the serenity.

Moving closer to the cottage you'll find the dock with lots of water crafts to explore the lake with. Bring a pole, fish off the dock, or take a kayak out for a time you'll never forget.

Now inside the cottage, you'll meet the comfort of white-knotty pine everywhere. Pine adds a rustic and cozy ambience that can't be beat while reading by the stone fireplace. Vintage and homemade decorations add a dash of local charm.

Guests love that they feel like they're camping here without having to "rough it". You'll find a kitchen with modern appliances making homemade meals a pleasure. An updated bathroom with elegant tile and modern fixtures. Even a king size bed so you'll never feel cramped while sleeping.

There's no need to go to the park when you can live on one. Our guests always feel right at home here.

Please note we have two other cottages available on the property. Please see VRBO # (sleeps up to 4) and VRBO# (sleeps up to 8).

Lake Paradise has terrific fishing. You'll find Walleye (stocked), Bass, Perch, Pike, and Bluegill. The lake bottom has a gradual slope and is ideal for small children to swim.

Things to do and places to go:

-Take a ferry boat to historic Mackinac Island. Make sure to buy plenty of delicious fudge!

-Pack a picnic lunch and spend time on the miles of beach of Wilderness State Park.

-Cycle on miles of dedicated bike paths in region (Petoskey-Mackinaw bike path is a quick ride from house)

-Spend the day shopping and/or have lunch in Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

-A short drive across the famous Mackinaw Bridge allows you to see the beauty of the Upper Peninsula

-Spend an afternoon golfing or play a game of tennis in the village close by.

-Relax at the cottage with a good book while the others fish or swim.

-The area has many country/lakeside dining spots.

-At the end of the day, enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your own sun room. Later, roast marshmallows over the bonfire at the lake's edge.

* A special note to our early spring and late fall guests. It's cold during the shoulder months so please prepare. Our cottages are cute, but they're not equipped with central heating and cooling. You'll enjoy the cozy fireplace and we have a small electric heater but that's it. It's chilly so bring a sweater, a warm blanket, and enjoy the fall colors!

**The cottage shares the dock with 2 other cottages. Great location for extended family reunions.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Always Wonderful

We had the best time. I love all the cabin details, and how quiet the park and preserve is. It felt like our private area. The lake was also wonderful. The sand and depths kept this lake much warmer than the other lakes around us. I cooked a lot, and they had everything i needed. The property manager Kelly was great.
Our group rented all 3 cabins and had great cookouts!

We had a wonderful stay at this very cute, clean cabin. Everything in the cabin worked very well and as expected. The bed was comfy, the shower was great, and we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We especially appreciated the provided firewood, as it was a bit chilly outside.
